## Detailed Description

Shared header included by both libdbus and C/C++ bindings such as the GLib bindings.

Usually a C/C++ binding such as the GLib or Qt binding won't want to include dbus.h in its public headers. However, a few constants and macros may be useful to include; those are found here and in dbus-protocol.h
