dbus-send use?

[ttlee1984]

Thanks for the advice. I will check it. But may I say it is a little bit
different from what I wanted to know? My original question is, if I already
know the object path (for example
/org/freedesktop/Hal/device/computer_backlight), the interface
(org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel),  and the method
(GetBrightness(void)), how should I inquiry this mehtod by dbus-send? Or
isn't it enough to know just this three pieces of information call it?

Because I am also using Qt binding, and for example there is a API
QDBusMessage QDBusMessage::createMethodCall ( const
QString<http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.6/qstring.html>&
*service*, const QString <http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.6/qstring.html> & *path*,
const QString <http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.6/qstring.html> & *interface*,
const QString <http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.6/qstring.html> & *method* )But I
can't figure out what is this argument "service". There is no corresponding
concept in the DBus specification. Or as I asked, does it mean the
well-known connection name?

Thanks for the help!
