Net::DBus::Binding::Bus(3pm)
NAME
Net::DBus::Binding::Bus - Handle to a well-known message bus instance
SYNOPSIS
use Net::DBus::Binding::Bus; # Get a handle to the system bus my $bus = Net::DBus::Binding::Bus->new(type => &Net::DBus::Binding::Bus::SYSTEM);
DESCRIPTION
This is a specialization of the Net::DBus::Binding::Connection module
providing convenience constructor for connecting to one of the wellknown bus types. There is no reason to use this module directly,
instead get a handle to the bus with the "session" or "system" methods
in Net::DBus.
METHODS
- my $bus = Net::DBus::Binding::Bus->new(type => $type);
my $bus = Net::DBus::Binding::Bus->new(address => $addr); - Open a connection to a message bus, either a well known bus type
specified using the "type" parameter, or an arbitrary bus specified using the "address" parameter. If the "private" parameter is set to a true value, then a private connection to the bus is obtained.
The caller must explicitly disconnect this bus instance before
releasing the last instance of the object. - $bus->request_name($service_name)
- Send a request to the bus registering the well known name specified in the $service_name parameter. If another client already owns the name, registration will be queued up, pending the exit of the other client.
- my $name = $bus->get_unique_name
- Returns the unique name by which this processes' connection to the
bus is known. Unique names are never re-used for the entire
lifetime of the bus daemon. - $bus->add_match($rule)
- Register a signal match rule with the bus controller, allowing
matching broadcast signals to routed to this client. - $bus->remove_match($rule)
- Unregister a signal match rule with the bus controller, preventing further broadcast signals being routed to this client
