Detailed Description

\inmodule QtDBus

Since: 4.2

The QDBusConnection class represents a connection to the D-Bus bus daemon.

This class is the initial point in a D-Bus session. Using it, you can get access to remote objects, interfaces; connect remote signals to your object's slots; register objects, etc.

D-Bus connections are created using the connectToBus() function, which opens a connection to the server daemon and does the initial handshaking, associating that connection with a name. Further attempts to connect using the same name will return the same connection.

The connection is then torn down using the disconnectFromBus() function.

Once disconnected, calling connectToBus() will not reestablish a connection, you must create a new QDBusConnection instance.

As a convenience for the two most common connection types, the sessionBus() and systemBus() functions return open connections to the session server daemon and the system server daemon, respectively. Those connections are opened when first used and are closed when the QCoreApplication destructor is run.

D-Bus also supports peer-to-peer connections, without the need for a bus server daemon. Using this facility, two applications can talk to each other and exchange messages. This can be achieved by passing an address to connectToBus() function, which was opened by another D-Bus application using QDBusServer.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ BusType

enum QDBusConnection::BusType

Specifies the type of the bus connection.

The valid bus types are:

\value SessionBus the session bus, associated with the running desktop session \value SystemBus the system bus, used to communicate with system-wide processes \value ActivationBus the activation bus, the "alias" for the bus that started the service

On the Session Bus, one can find other applications by the same user that are sharing the same desktop session (hence the name). On the System Bus, however, processes shared for the whole system are usually found.

SystemBus
ActivationBus

enum QDBusConnection::ConnectionCapability

Since: 4.8

This enum describes the available capabilities for a D-Bus connection.

\value UnixFileDescriptorPassing enables passing of Unix file descriptors to other processes (see QDBusUnixFileDescriptor)

◆ asyncCall()

QDBusPendingCall QDBusConnection::asyncCall	(	const QDBusMessage &	message,
		int	timeout = -1 ) const

Since: 4.5 Sends the message over this connection and returns immediately. This function is suitable for method calls only. It returns an object of type QDBusPendingCall which can be used to track the status of the reply.

If no reply is received within timeout milliseconds, an automatic error will be delivered indicating the expiration of the call. The default timeout is -1, which will be replaced with an implementation-defined value that is suitable for inter-process communications (generally, 25 seconds). This timeout is also the upper limit for waiting in QDBusPendingCall::waitForFinished().

See the QDBusInterface::asyncCall() function for a more friendly way of placing calls.

Note: Method calls to objects registered by the application itself are never asynchronous due to implementation limitations.

A Unique Connection Name is a string in the form ":x.xxx" (where x are decimal digits) that is assigned by the D-Bus server daemon upon connection. It uniquely identifies this client in the bus.

◆ call()

QDBusMessage QDBusConnection::call	(	const QDBusMessage &	message,
		QDBus::CallMode	mode = QDBus::Block,
		int	timeout = -1 ) const

Sends the message over this connection and blocks, waiting for a reply, for at most timeout milliseconds.

This function is suitable for method calls only. It returns the reply message as its return value, which will be either of type QDBusMessage::ReplyMessage or QDBusMessage::ErrorMessage.

If no reply is received within timeout milliseconds, an automatic error will be delivered indicating the expiration of the call. The default timeout is -1, which will be replaced with an implementation-defined value that is suitable for inter-process communications (generally, 25 seconds).

See the QDBusInterface::call() function for a more friendly way of placing calls.

Warning: If mode is QDBus::BlockWithGui, this function will reenter the Qt event loop in order to wait for the reply. During the wait, it may deliver signals and other method calls to your application. Therefore, it must be prepared to handle a reentrancy whenever a call is placed with call().

Sends the message over this connection and returns immediately.

When the reply is received, the method returnMethod is called in the receiver object. If an error occurs, the method errorMethod will be called instead.

If no reply is received within timeout milliseconds, an automatic error will be delivered indicating the expiration of the call. The default timeout is -1, which will be replaced with an implementation-defined value that is suitable for inter-process communications (generally, 25 seconds).

This function is suitable for method calls only. It is guaranteed that the slot will be called exactly once with the reply, as long as the parameter types match and no error occurs.

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.Connects the signal to the slot slot in object receiver.

Unlike the previous connect() overload, this function allows one to specify the parameter signature to be connected using the signature variable. The function will then verify that this signature can be delivered to the slot specified by slot and return false otherwise.

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Since: 4.6

Connects the signal to the slot slot in object receiver. Unlike the previous connect() overload, this function allows one to specify the parameter signature to be connected using the signature variable. The function will then verify that this signature can be delivered to the slot specified by slot and return false otherwise.

The argumentMatch parameter lists the string parameters to be matched, in sequential order. Note that, to match an empty string, you need to pass a QString that is empty but not null (i.e., QString("")). A null QString skips matching at that position.

Returns true if the connection was successful.

Note: This function verifies that the signal signature matches the slot's parameters, but it does not verify that the actual signal exists with the given signature in the remote service.

◆ localMachineId()

QByteArray QDBusConnection::localMachineId ( )

static

Since: 4.8 Returns the local machine ID as known to the D-Bus system. Each node or host that runs D-Bus has a unique identifier that can be used to distinguish it from other hosts if they are sharing resources like the filesystem.

Note that the local machine ID is not guaranteed to be persistent across boots of the system, so this identifier should not be stored in persistent storage (like the filesystem). It is guaranteed to remain constant only during the lifetime of this boot session.

◆ name()

QString QDBusConnection::name ( ) const

Since: 4.5

Returns the connection name for this connection, as given as the name parameter to connectToBus().

The connection name can be used to uniquely identify actual underlying connections to buses. Copies made from a single connection will always implicitly share the underlying connection, and hence will have the same connection name.

Inversely, two connections having different connection names will always either be connected to different buses, or have a different unique name (as returned by baseService()) on that bus.

◆ registerObject() [1/2]

bool QDBusConnection::registerObject	(	const QString &	path,
		const QString &	interface,
		QObject *	object,
		RegisterOptions	options = ExportAdaptors )

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Since: 5.5

Registers the object object at path path with interface name interface and returns true if the registration was successful. The options parameter specifies how much of the object object will be exposed through D-Bus.

This function does not replace existing objects: if there is already an object registered at path path, this function will return false. Use unregisterObject() to unregister it first.

The ExportChildObjects flag exports child objects on D-Bus based on the path of the registered objects and the QObject::objectName of the child. Therefore, it is important for the child object to have an object name.

You cannot register an object as a child object of an object that was registered with ExportChildObjects.
