Hi,
is there somewhere documentation or a simple example how to use libdbus
without dbus-daemon ?
I guess from the client side not much changes, except the address to connect
to ?
I found the documentation at
http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/api/html/group__DBusServer.html , but it's
missing an overview.
Is it maybe like this ?
I do the same in my server as when using an external dbus daemon, but instead
of connecting to the daemon I call dbus_server_listen(), and then call the
add_watch() function on the server, instead of on the connection ?
Additionally I then have to call dbus_server_set_new_connection_function() ?
And there I have to call dbus_connection_ref() on the new connection and keep
the pointer somewhere ?
If I then send something from the server, I guess I have to choose the
appropriate connection and send my message there.
I guess I would also have to implement the signal filter matching if I want to
support this ?
Any pointers ?
Thanks
Alex
