As far as I understand it brings significant performance improvements over the standard libdbus library. </div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">It has actually been designed to one day talk to the kernel-based DBUS implementation, but can also be used to communicate with current non-kernel-based DBUS busses.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent;
font-style: normal;">My questions on this matter are the following:</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">- is libsystemd-bus a straight replacement for libdbus? E.g. can applications currently using libdbus be ported easily to run libsystemd-bus? Or are the APIs provided by libsystemd-bus totally different?</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">- can libsystemd-bus actually be used without using systemd? E.g. is it a standalone library?</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york',
