Implemented Interfaces

GDBusObjectManagerServer implements GDBusObjectManager.

Includes

#include <gio/gio.h>

Description

GDBusObjectManagerServer is used to export GDBusObject instances using the standardized org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager interface. For example, remote D-Bus clients can get all objects and properties in a single call. Additionally, any change in the object hierarchy is broadcast using signals. This means that D-Bus clients can keep caches up to date by only listening to D-Bus signals.

See GDBusObjectManagerClient for the client-side code that is intended to be used with GDBusObjectManagerServer or any D-Bus object implementing the org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager interface.

Functions

g_dbus_object_manager_server_new ()

GDBusObjectManagerServer *
g_dbus_object_manager_server_new (const gchar *object_path);

Creates a new GDBusObjectManagerServer object.

The returned server isn't yet exported on any connection. To do so, use g_dbus_object_manager_server_set_connection(). Normally you want to export all of your objects before doing so to avoid <ulink url="http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.htmlstandard-interfaces-objectmanager">InterfacesAdded</ulink> signals being emitted.

Parameters

object_path

The object path to export the manager object at.

 

Returns

A GDBusObjectManagerServer object. Free with g_object_unref().

Since 2.30


g_dbus_object_manager_server_get_connection ()

GDBusConnection *
g_dbus_object_manager_server_get_connection
                               (GDBusObjectManagerServer *manager);

Gets the GDBusConnection used by manager .

Parameters

Returns

A GDBusConnection object or NULL if manager isn't exported on a connection. The returned object should be freed with g_object_unref().

g_dbus_object_manager_server_set_connection ()

void
g_dbus_object_manager_server_set_connection
                               (GDBusObjectManagerServer *manager,
                                GDBusConnection *connection);

Exports all objects managed by manager on connection . If connection is NULL, stops exporting objects.

Parameters

manager

A GDBusObjectManagerServer.

 

connection

A GDBusConnection or NULL.

[allow-none]

g_dbus_object_manager_server_export ()

void
g_dbus_object_manager_server_export (GDBusObjectManagerServer *manager,
                                     GDBusObjectSkeleton *object);

Exports object on manager .

If there is already a GDBusObject exported at the object path, then the old object is removed.

The object path for object must be in the hierarchy rooted by the object path for manager .

Note that manager will take a reference on object for as long as it is exported.

Parameters

manager

A GDBusObjectManagerServer.

 

object

A GDBusObjectSkeleton.

g_dbus_object_manager_server_export_uniquely ()

void
g_dbus_object_manager_server_export_uniquely
                               (GDBusObjectManagerServer *manager,
                                GDBusObjectSkeleton *object);

Like g_dbus_object_manager_server_export() but appends a string of the form _N (with N being a natural number) to object 's object path if an object with the given path already exists. As such, the “g-object-path” property of object may be modified.

Parameters

manager

A GDBusObjectManagerServer.

 

object

An object.

 

Since 2.30


g_dbus_object_manager_server_is_exported ()

gboolean
g_dbus_object_manager_server_is_exported
                               (GDBusObjectManagerServer *manager,
                                GDBusObjectSkeleton *object);

Returns whether object is currently exported on manager .

Parameters

manager

A GDBusObjectManagerServer.

 

object

An object.

 

Returns

TRUE if object is exported

Since 2.34


g_dbus_object_manager_server_unexport ()

gboolean
g_dbus_object_manager_server_unexport (GDBusObjectManagerServer *manager,
                                       const gchar *object_path);

If manager has an object at path , removes the object. Otherwise does nothing.

Note that object_path must be in the hierarchy rooted by the object path for manager .

Parameters

manager

A GDBusObjectManagerServer.

 

object_path

An object path.

 

Returns

TRUE if object at object_path was removed, FALSE otherwise.

Since 2.30
