<br>
I've just released a tiny tool called dbus-trace, which can inspect what D-Bus messages a program sends and receives.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://gitlab.com/takluyver/dbus-trace" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://gitlab.com/takluyver/dbus-trace</a><br>
<br>
The difference from things like dbus-monitor and Bustle is that it sits between a child process and the real bus, passing messages through. This makes it easy to focus on what a single program is doing (no need to figure out its D-Bus unique name), and also means you can see D-Bus messages that are rejected by a proxy (e.g. in a Flatpak sandbox) before they get to the real bus.<br>
<br>
This is very minimal at the moment - there are obvious extensions e.g. filtering which messages are shown, or writing to a file, which could be added if it proves useful. But it helped me figure out a real-world issue today, so I thought it was time to write a README and call it 0.1.<br>
<br>
Have a good weekend,<br>
Thomas Kluyver<br>
