g_dbus_generate_guid ()

gchar *             g_dbus_generate_guid                (void);

Generate a D-Bus GUID that can be used with e.g. g_dbus_connection_new().

See the D-Bus specification regarding what strings are valid D-Bus GUID (for example, D-Bus GUIDs are not RFC-4122 compliant).

Since 2.26

g_dbus_is_guid ()

gboolean            g_dbus_is_guid                      (const gchar *string);

Checks if string is a D-Bus GUID.

See the D-Bus specification regarding what strings are valid D-Bus GUID (for example, D-Bus GUIDs are not RFC-4122 compliant).

g_dbus_is_name ()

gboolean            g_dbus_is_name                      (const gchar *string);

Checks if string is a valid D-Bus bus name (either unique or well-known).

Since 2.26

g_dbus_is_unique_name ()

gboolean            g_dbus_is_unique_name               (const gchar *string);

Checks if string is a valid D-Bus unique bus name.

Since 2.26

g_dbus_is_member_name ()

gboolean            g_dbus_is_member_name               (const gchar *string);

Checks if string is a valid D-Bus member (e.g. signal or method) name.

Since 2.26

g_dbus_is_interface_name ()

gboolean            g_dbus_is_interface_name            (const gchar *string);

Checks if string is a valid D-Bus interface name.

Since 2.26

g_dbus_gvalue_to_gvariant ()

GVariant *          g_dbus_gvalue_to_gvariant           (const GValue *gvalue,
                                                         const GVariantType *type);

Converts a GValue to a GVariant of the type indicated by the type parameter.

The conversion is using the following rules:

This can fail if e.g. gvalue is of type G_TYPE_STRING and type is 'i'. It will also fail for any GType (including e.g. G_TYPE_OBJECT and G_TYPE_BOXED derived-types) not in the table above.

Note that if gvalue is of type G_TYPE_VARIANT and its value is NULL, the empty GVariant instance (never NULL) for type is returned (e.g. 0 for scalar types, the empty string for string types, '/' for object path types, the empty array for any array type and so on).

See the g_dbus_gvariant_to_gvalue() function for how to convert a GVariant to a GValue.

Since 2.30

g_dbus_gvariant_to_gvalue ()

void                g_dbus_gvariant_to_gvalue           (GVariant *value,
                                                         GValue *out_gvalue);

Converts a GVariant to a GValue. If value is floating, it is consumed.

The rules specified in the g_dbus_gvalue_to_gvariant() function are used - this function is essentially its reverse form.

The conversion never fails - a valid GValue is always returned in out_gvalue.
