NAME
libdbus-1, libdbus-glib-1 - D-Bus Library and GLib bindings
DESCRIPTION
D-Bus is a message bus system, a simple way for applications to talk to
one another. The libdbus-1 library provides low-level API. The dbus-
glib-1 library provides C-language bindings for using D-Bus with a
higher-level approach. The higher level approach is possible because
GLib defines a main loop, an object/type system, and an out-of-memory
handling policy (it exits the program).
D-Bus supplies both a system daemon (for events such as "new hardware
device added" or "printer queue changed") and a per-user-login-session
daemon (for general IPC needs among user applications). Also, the mes-
sage bus is built on top of a general one-to-one message passing frame-
work, which can be used by any two apps to communicate directly (with-
out going through the message bus daemon).
