Net::DBus::Dumper(3pm)
NAME
Net::DBus::Dumper - Stringify Net::DBus objects suitable for printing
SYNOPSIS
use Net::DBus::Dumper;
use Net::DBus;
# Dump out info about the bus
my $bus = Net::DBus->find;
print dbus_dump($bus);
# Dump out info about a service
my $service = $bus->get_service("org.freedesktop.DBus");
print dbus_dump($service);
# Dump out info about an object
my $object = $service->get_object("/org/freedesktop/DBus");
print dbus_dump($object);
DESCRIPTION
This module serves as a debugging aid, providing a means to stringify a
DBus related object in a form suitable for printing out. It can
stringify any of the Net::DBus:* objects, generating the following
information for each
- Net::DBus
- A list of services registered with the bus
- Net::DBus::Service =item Net::DBus::RemoteService
- The service name
- Net::DBus::Object =item Net::DBus::RemoteObject
- The list of all exported methods, and signals, along with their
parameter and return types.
METHODS
- my @data = dbus_dump($object);
- Generates a stringified representation of an object. The object
passed in as the parameter must be an instance of one of Net::DBus, Net::DBus::RemoteService, Net::DBus::Service,
Net::DBus::RemoteObject, Net::DBus::Object. The stringified
representation will be returned as a list of strings, with newlines in appropriate places, such that it can be passed string to the
"print" method.
BUGS
It should print out a list of object paths registered against a
service, but this only currently works for service implemented in Perl
