specified, \fIdbus-monitor\fP monitors the session bus.
.PP
+\fIdbus-monitor\fP has two different output modes, the 'classic'-style
+monitoring mode and profiling mode. The profiling format is a compact
+format with a single line per message and microsecond-resolution timing
+information. The \-\-profile and \-\-monitor options select the profiling
+and monitoring output format respectively. If neither is specified,
+\fIdbus-monitor\fP uses the monitoring output format.

In order to get \fIdbus-monitor\fP to see the messages you are interested
in, you should specify a set of watch expressions as you would expect to
be passed to the \fIdbus_bus_add_watch\fP function.
