## Detailed Description

A D-Bus Connection.

The Connection type is used for D-Bus connections to remote peers such as a message buses. It is a low-level API that offers a lot of flexibility. For instance, it lets you establish a connection over any transport that can by represented as an IOStream.

This class is rarely used directly in D-Bus clients. If you are writing a D-Bus client, it is often easier to use the Gio::DBus::own_name(), Gio::DBus::watch_name() or Gio::DBus::Proxy::create_for_bus() APIs.

## Member Typedef Documentation

## ◆ SlotMessageFilter

using Gio::DBus::Connection::SlotMessageFilter = sigc::slot<Glib::RefPtr<Message>, const Glib::RefPtr<Connection>&, const Glib::RefPtr<Message>&, bool>

Signature for slot used in add_filter().

For example,

Glib::RefPtr<Message> on_message_filter(const
Glib::RefPtr<Connection> connection, const Glib::RefPtr<Message>&
message, bool incoming);.

A filter function is passed a Message and expected to return a Message too. Passive filter functions that don't modify the message can simply return the message object. Filter functions that wants to drop a message can simply return `0`. And filter function may modify a message by copying it and return the copy.

## ◆ SlotSignal

using Gio::DBus::Connection::SlotSignal = sigc::slot<void, const Glib::RefPtr<Connection>&, const Glib::ustring&, const Glib::ustring&, const Glib::ustring&, const Glib::ustring&, const Glib::VariantContainerBase&>

Signature for slot used in signal_subscribe().

For example,

void on_signal(const Glib::RefPtr<Connection>& connection, const
Glib::ustring& sender_name, const Glib::ustring& object_path, const
Glib::ustring& object_path, const Glib::ustring& interface_name, const
Glib::ustring& signal_name, const Glib::VariantContainerBase& parameters);.

## ◆ add_filter()

guint Gio::DBus::Connection::add_filter | ( | const SlotMessageFilter& | slot | ) |

Adds a message filter.

Filters are handlers that are run on all incoming and outgoing messages, prior to standard dispatch. Filters are run in the order that they were added. The same handler can be added as a filter more than once, in which case it will be run more than once. Filters added during a filter slot won't be run on the message being processed. Filter slots are allowed to modify and even drop messages.

Note that filters are run in a dedicated message handling thread so they can't block and, generally, can't do anything but signal a worker thread. Also note that filters are rarely needed - use API such as send_message_with_reply(), signal_subscribe() or call() instead.

If a filter consumes an incoming message the message is not dispatched anywhere else - not even the standard dispatch machinery (that API such as signal_subscribe() and send_message_with_reply() relies on) will see the message. Similary, if a filter consumes an outgoing message, the message will not be sent to the other peer.

Parameters

  slot | A filter slot.

Returns
  A filter identifier that can be used with remove_filter().

|  | const Glib::VariantContainerBase& | parameters,

|  | CallFlags | flags = `Gio::DBus::CALL_FLAGS_NONE`,
|  | const Glib::VariantType& | reply_type = `Glib::VariantType()`
| ) |  |

Asynchronously invokes the method_name method on the interface_name D-Bus interface on the remote object at object_path owned by bus_name.

If the connection is closed then the operation will fail with Gio::IO_ERROR_CLOSED. If cancellable is cancelled, the operation will fail with Gio::IO_ERROR_CANCELLED. If parameters contains a value not compatible with the D-Bus protocol, the operation fails with Gio::IO_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT.

If reply_type is non-`0` then the reply will be checked for having this type and an error will be raised if it does not match. Said another way, if you give a reply_type then any non-`0` return value will be of this type.

This is an asynchronous method. When the operation is finished, callback will be invoked in the thread-default main loop of the thread you are calling this method from. You can then call call_finish() to get the result of the operation. See call_sync() for the synchronous version of this function.

Parameters

  object_path | Path of remote object.
  interface_name | D-Bus interface to invoke method on.
  method_name | The name of the method to invoke.
  parameters | A Glib::VariantContainerBase tuple with parameters for the method or `0` if not passing parameters.
  slot | A SlotAsyncReady to call when the request is satisfied.
  cancellable | A Cancellable.
  bus_name | A unique or well-known bus name or an empty string if the connection is not a message bus connection.
  timeout_msec | The timeout in milliseconds, -1 to use the default timeout or G_MAXINT for no timeout.
  flags | Flags from the Gio::DBus::CallFlags enumeration.
  reply_type | The expected type of the reply, or `0`.

## ◆ close() [1/3]

void Gio::DBus::Connection::close | ( |  | ) |

Closes the connection.

Note that this never causes the process to exit (this might only happen if the other end of a shared message bus connection disconnects, see property_exit_on_close()).

Once the connection is closed, operations such as sending a message will return with the error Gio::IO_ERROR_CLOSED. Closing a connection will not automatically flush the connection so queued messages may be lost. Use flush() if you need such guarantees.

If the connection is already closed, this method fails with Gio::IO_ERROR_CLOSED.

When the connection has been closed, the "closed" signal is emitted in the thread-default main loop of the thread that connection was constructed in.

This is an asynchronous method. See close_sync() for the synchronous version.

Asynchronously sets up a D-Bus connection for exchanging D-Bus messages with the end represented by stream.

If stream is a SocketConnection, then the corresponding Socket will be put into non-blocking mode.

The D-Bus connection will interact with stream from a worker thread. As a result, the caller should not interact with stream after this method has been called, except by calling Glib::object_unref() on it.

If observer is not `nullptr` it may be used to control the authentication process.

When the operation is finished, slot will be invoked. You can then call g_dbus_connection_new_finish() to get the result of the operation.

This is a asynchronous failable constructor. See g_dbus_connection_new_sync() for the synchronous version.

|  | const Glib::RefPtr< ActionGroup >& | action_group
| ) |  |

Exports action_group on connection at object_path.

The implemented D-Bus API should be considered private. It is subject to change in the future.

A given object path can only have one action group exported on it. If this constraint is violated, the export will fail and 0 will be returned (with error set accordingly).

You can unexport the action group using g_dbus_connection_unexport_action_group() with the return value of this function.

The thread default main context is taken at the time of this call. All incoming action activations and state change requests are reported from this context. Any changes on the action group that cause it to emit signals must also come from this same context. Since incoming action activations and state change requests are rather likely to cause changes on the action group, this effectively limits a given action group to being exported from only one main context.

Since glibmm 2.32:

Parameters

  object_path | A D-Bus object path.
  action_group | A ActionGroup.

Returns
  The ID of the export (never zero), or 0 in case of failure.

The implemented D-Bus API should be considered private. It is subject to change in the future.

An object path can only have one menu model exported on it. If this constraint is violated, the export will fail and 0 will be returned (with error set accordingly).

You can unexport the menu model using g_dbus_connection_unexport_menu_model() with the return value of this function.

Since glibmm 2.32:

Parameters

  object_path | A D-Bus object path.
  menu | A MenuModel.

Returns
  The ID of the export (never zero), or 0 in case of failure.

If you are constructing a DBusConnection and pass DBUS_CONNECTION_FLAGS_AUTHENTICATION_SERVER in the DBusConnection::property_flags() property then you MUST also set this property to a valid guid.

If you are constructing a DBusConnection and pass DBUS_CONNECTION_FLAGS_AUTHENTICATION_CLIENT in the DBusConnection::property_flags() property you will be able to read the GUID of the other peer here after the connection has been successfully initialized.

Since glibmm 2.26:

Returns
  A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

## ◆ property_stream()

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::RefPtr<IOStream> > Gio::DBus::Connection::property_stream | ( |  | ) | const

The underlying IOStream used for I/O.

If this is passed on construction and is a SocketConnection, then the corresponding Socket will be put into non-blocking mode.

While the DBusConnection is active, it will interact with this stream from a worker thread, so it is not safe to interact with the stream directly.

Since glibmm 2.26:

Returns
  A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

## ◆ property_unique_name()

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::ustring > Gio::DBus::Connection::property_unique_name | ( |  | ) | const

The unique name as assigned by the message bus or `nullptr` if the connection is not open or not a message bus connection.

Since glibmm 2.26:

Returns
  A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

## ◆ register_object() [1/2]

guint Gio::DBus::Connection::register_object | ( | const Glib::ustring& | object_path,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< InterfaceInfo >& | interface_info,
|  | const InterfaceVTable& | vtable
| ) |  |

Registers slots for exported objects at object_path with the D-Bus interface that is described in interface_info.

Calls to slots in vtable will happen in the thread-default main loop of the thread you are calling this method from.

Note that all Glib::VariantBase values passed to functions in vtable will match the signature given in interface_info - if a remote caller passes incorrect values, the `org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs` is returned to the remote caller.

Additionally, if the remote caller attempts to invoke methods or access properties not mentioned in interface_info the `org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod` resp. `org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs` errors are returned to the caller.

It is considered a programming error if the SlotDBusInterfaceGetProperty slot in vtable returns a Glib::VariantBase of incorrect type.

If an existing slot is already registered at object_path and interface_name, then a Glib::Error is thrown.

GDBus automatically implements the standard D-Bus interfaces org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties, org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable and org.freedesktop.Peer, so you don't have to implement those for the objects you export. You can implement org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties yourself, e.g. to handle getting and setting of properties asynchronously.

Parameters

  object_path | The object path to register at.
  interface_info | Introspection data for the interface.
  vtable | An InterfaceVTable to call into.

Returns
  A registration id (never 0) that can be used with unregister_object() if no Glib::Error is thrown.

Exceptions

  Glib::Error. |

Since glibmm 2.28:

## ◆ register_object() [2/2]

guint Gio::DBus::Connection::register_object | ( | const Glib::ustring& | object_path,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< InterfaceInfo >& | interface_info
| ) |  |

Registers exported objects at object_path with the D-Bus interface that is described in interface_info.

This method overload, which does not take a VTable, is useful for marker interfaces.

If an existing slot is already registered at object_path and interface_name, then a Glib::Error is thrown.

GDBus automatically implements the standard D-Bus interfaces org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties, org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable and org.freedesktop.Peer, so you don't have to implement those for the objects you export.

Parameters

  object_path | The object path to register at.
  interface_info | Introspection data for the interface.

Returns
  A registration id (never 0) that can be used with unregister_object() if no Glib::Error is thrown.

Exceptions

  Glib::Error. |

Since glibmm 2.28:

## ◆ register_subtree()

guint Gio::DBus::Connection::register_subtree | ( | const Glib::ustring& | object_path,
|  | const SubtreeVTable& | vtable,
|  | SubtreeFlags | flags = `Gio::DBus::SUBTREE_FLAGS_NONE`
| ) |  |

Registers a whole subtree of “dynamic” objects.

Copies of the enumerate and introspection slots usted to create vtable are used to convey, to remote callers, what nodes exist in the subtree rooted by object_path.

When handling remote calls into any node in the subtree, first the enumerate slot is used to check if the node exists. If the node exists or the Gio::DBus::SUBTREE_FLAGS_DISPATCH_TO_UNENUMERATED_NODES flag is set the introspection slot is used to check if the node supports the requested method. If so, the dispatch function is used to determine where to dispatch the call. The collected InterfaceVTable will be used to call into the interface vtable for processing the request.

All calls into user-provided code will be invoked in the thread-default main loop of the thread you are calling this method from.

If an existing subtree is already registered at object_path or then a Glib::Error is thrown.

Note that it is valid to register regular objects (using register_object()) in a subtree registered with register_subtree() - if so, the subtree handler is tried as the last resort. One way to think about a subtree handler is to consider it a “fallback handler” for object paths not registered via register_object().

Parameters

  object_path | The object path to register the subtree at.
  vtable | A SubtreeVTable to enumerate, introspect and dispatch nodes in the subtree.
  flags | Flags used to fine tune the behavior of the subtree.

Returns
  A subtree registration id (never 0) that can be used with unregister_subtree() if no Glib::Error is thrown.

Since glibmm 2.28:

## ◆ remove_filter()

void Gio::DBus::Connection::remove_filter | ( | guint | filter_id | ) |

Removes a filter.

Note that since filters run in a different thread, there is a race condition where it is possible that the filter will be running even after calling g_dbus_connection_remove_filter(), so you cannot just free data that the filter might be using. Instead, you should pass a DestroyNotify to g_dbus_connection_add_filter(), which will be called when it is guaranteed that the data is no longer needed.

Since glibmm 2.26:

Parameters

  filter_id | An identifier obtained from g_dbus_connection_add_filter().

## ◆ send_message() [1/2]

bool Gio::DBus::Connection::send_message | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Message >& | message,
|  | SendMessageFlags | flags,
|  | guint32 & | out_serial
| ) |  |

Asynchronously sends message to the peer represented by connection.

Unless flags contain the DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL flag, the serial number will be assigned by connection and set on message via g_dbus_message_set_serial(). If out_serial is not `nullptr`, then the serial number used will be written to this location prior to submitting the message to the underlying transport.

If connection is closed then the operation will fail with IO_ERROR_CLOSED. If message is not well-formed, the operation fails with IO_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT.

See this [server][gdbus-server] and [client][gdbus-unix-fd-client] for an example of how to use this low-level API to send and receive UNIX file descriptors.

Note that message must be unlocked, unless flags contain the DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL flag.

Since glibmm 2.26:

Parameters

  message | A DBusMessage.
  flags | Flags affecting how the message is sent.
  out_serial | Return location for serial number assigned to message when sending it or `nullptr`.

Returns
  `true` if the message was well-formed and queued for transmission, `false` if error is set.

## ◆ send_message() [2/2]

bool Gio::DBus::Connection::send_message | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Message >& | message,
|  | SendMessageFlags | flags = `Gio::DBus::SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_NONE`
| ) |  |

A send_message() without an "out_serial" parameter.

## ◆ send_message_with_reply() [1/2]

void Gio::DBus::Connection::send_message_with_reply | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Message >& | message,
|  | int | timeout_msec,
|  | const SlotAsyncReady& | slot,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable
| ) |  |

Asynchronously sends message to the peer represented by the connection.

Unless flags contain the Gio::DBus::SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL flag, the serial number will be assigned by the connection and set on message via Gio::DBus::Message::set_serial().

If the connection is closed then the operation will fail with Gio::IO_ERROR_CLOSED. If cancellable is canceled, the operation will fail with Gio::IO_ERROR_CANCELLED. If message is not well-formed, the operation fails with Gio::IO_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT.

This is an asynchronous method. When the operation is finished, slot will be invoked in the thread-default main loop of the thread you are calling this method from. You can then call send_message_with_reply_finish() to get the result of the operation. See send_message_with_reply_sync() for the synchronous version.

Note that message must be unlocked, unless flags contain the Gio::DBus::SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL flag.

See the C API docs for examples.

Parameters

  message | A Message.
  timeout_msec | The timeout in milliseconds or -1 to use the default timeout.
  slot | A SlotAsyncReady to call when the request is satisfied.
  cancellable | A Cancellable.

Since glibmm 2.28:

## ◆ send_message_with_reply() [2/2]

void Gio::DBus::Connection::send_message_with_reply | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Message >& | message,
|  | int | timeout_msec,
|  | const SlotAsyncReady& | slot
| ) |  |

Non-cancellable version of send_message_with_reply().

## ◆ send_message_with_reply_finish()

Glib::RefPtr<Message> Gio::DBus::Connection::send_message_with_reply_finish | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< AsyncResult >& | res | ) |

Finishes an operation started with g_dbus_connection_send_message_with_reply().

Note that error is only set if a local in-process error occurred. That is to say that the returned DBusMessage object may be of type DBUS_MESSAGE_TYPE_ERROR. Use g_dbus_message_to_gerror() to transcode this to a Error.

See this [server][gdbus-server] and [client][gdbus-unix-fd-client] for an example of how to use this low-level API to send and receive UNIX file descriptors.

Since glibmm 2.26:

Parameters

  res | A AsyncResult obtained from the SlotAsyncReady passed to g_dbus_connection_send_message_with_reply().

Returns
  A locked DBusMessage or `nullptr` if error is set.

Exceptions

  Glib::Error. |

## ◆ send_message_with_reply_sync() [1/2]

Glib::RefPtr<Message> Gio::DBus::Connection::send_message_with_reply_sync | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Message >& | message,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable,
|  | gint | timeout_msec
| ) |  |

Synchronously sends message to the peer represented by the connection and blocks the calling thread until a reply is received or the timeout is reached.

See send_message_with_reply() for the asynchronous version of this method.

Unless flags contain the Gio::DBus::SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL flag, the serial number will be assigned by the connection and set on message via Gio::DBus::Message::set_serial().

If the connection is closed then the operation will fail with Gio::IO_ERROR_CLOSED. If cancellable is canceled, the operation will fail with Gio::IO_ERROR_CANCELLED. If message is not well-formed, the operation fails with Gio::IO_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT.

Note that a Glib::Error is thrown if a local in-process error occured. That is to say that the returned Message object may be of type G_DBUS_MESSAGE_TYPE_ERROR. Use Gio::DBus::Message::to_exception() to transcode this to a Glib::Error.

See the C API docs for examples.

Note that message must be unlocked, unless flags contain the Gio::DBus::SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL flag.

Parameters

  message | A Message.
  cancellable | A Cancellable.
  timeout_msec | The timeout in milliseconds or -1 to use the default timeout.

Returns
  A locked Message that is the reply to message or `0` if a Glib::Error is thrown.

Exceptions

  Glib::Error. |

Since glibmm 2.28:

## ◆ send_message_with_reply_sync() [2/2]

Glib::RefPtr<Message> Gio::DBus::Connection::send_message_with_reply_sync | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Message >& | message,
|  | gint | timeout_msec
| ) |  |

A non-cancellable version of send_message_with_reply_sync().

## ◆ set_exit_on_close()

void Gio::DBus::Connection::set_exit_on_close | ( | bool | exit_on_close = `true` | ) |

Sets whether the process should be terminated when connection is closed by the remote peer.

See DBusConnection::property_exit_on_close() for more details.

Note that this function should be used with care. Most modern UNIX desktops tie the notion of a user session the session bus, and expect all of a users applications to quit when their bus connection goes away. If you are setting exit_on_close to `false` for the shared session bus connection, you should make sure that your application exits when the user session ends.

Since glibmm 2.26:

Parameters

  exit_on_close | Whether the process should be terminated when connection is closed by the remote peer.

## ◆ signal_closed()

Glib::SignalProxy< void,bool,const Glib::Error& > Gio::DBus::Connection::signal_closed | ( |  | ) |

Slot Prototype:
  `void on_my_closed(bool remote_peer_vanished, const Glib::Error& error)`

Emitted when the connection is closed.

The cause of this event can be

- If g_dbus_connection_close() is called. In this case remote_peer_vanished is set to `false` and error is `nullptr`.
- If the remote peer closes the connection. In this case remote_peer_vanished is set to `true` and error is set.
- If the remote peer sends invalid or malformed data. In this case remote_peer_vanished is set to `false` and error is set.

Upon receiving this signal, you should give up your reference to connection. You are guaranteed that this signal is emitted only once.

Since glibmm 2.26:

Parameters

  remote_peer_vanished | `true` if connection is closed because the remote peer closed its end of the connection.

## ◆ signal_subscribe()

guint Gio::DBus::Connection::signal_subscribe | ( | const SlotSignal& | slot,
|  | const Glib::ustring& | sender = `Glib::ustring()`,
|  | const Glib::ustring& | interface_name = `Glib::ustring()`,
|  | const Glib::ustring& | member = `Glib::ustring()`,
|  | const Glib::ustring& | object_path = `Glib::ustring()`,
|  | const Glib::ustring& | arg0 = `Glib::ustring()`,
|  | SignalFlags | flags = `Gio::DBus::SIGNAL_FLAGS_NONE`
| ) |  |

Subscribes to signals on the connection and invokes slot with a whenever the signal is received.

Note that slot will be invoked in the thread-default main loop of the thread you are calling this method from.

If the connection is not a message bus connection, sender must be `0`.

If sender is a well-known name note that slot is invoked with the unique name for the owner of sender, not the well-known name as one would expect. This is because the message bus rewrites the name. As such, to avoid certain race conditions, users should be tracking the name owner of the well-known name and use that when processing the received signal.

Parameters

  slot | Slot to invoke when there is a signal matching the requested data.
  sender | Sender name to match on (unique or well-known name) or `0` to listen from all senders.
  interface_name | D-Bus interface name to match on or `0` to match on all interfaces.
  member | D-Bus signal name to match on or `0` to match on all signals.
  object_path | Object path to match on or `0` to match on all object paths.
  arg0 | Contents of first string argument to match on or `0` to match on all kinds of arguments.
  flags | Flags describing how to subscribe to the signal (currently unused).

Returns
  A subscription identifier that can be used with signal_unsubscribe().

Since glibmm 2.28:

## ◆ signal_unsubscribe()

void Gio::DBus::Connection::signal_unsubscribe | ( | guint | subscription_id | ) |

Unsubscribes from signals.

Since glibmm 2.26:

Parameters

  subscription_id | A subscription id obtained from g_dbus_connection_signal_subscribe().

## ◆ start_message_processing()

void Gio::DBus::Connection::start_message_processing | ( |  | ) |

If connection was created with DBUS_CONNECTION_FLAGS_DELAY_MESSAGE_PROCESSING, this method starts processing messages.

Does nothing on if connection wasn't created with this flag or if the method has already been called.
