;; This package provides language bindings for the D-Bus API.  D-Bus
;; is a message bus system, a simple way for applications to talk to
;; one another.  See <http://dbus.freedesktop.org/> for details.

;; Low-level language bindings are implemented in src/dbusbind.c.

;; D-Bus support in the Emacs core can be disabled with configuration

  "Call METHOD on the D-Bus BUS.

BUS is either a Lisp symbol, `:system' or `:session', or a string
denoting the bus address.

SERVICE is the D-Bus service name to be used.  PATH is the D-Bus
object path SERVICE is registered at.  INTERFACE is an interface
offered by SERVICE.  It must provide METHOD.

If the parameter `:timeout' is given, the following integer TIMEOUT
specifies the maximum number of milliseconds the method call must
return.  The default value is 25,000.  If the method call doesn't
return in time, a D-Bus error is raised.

All other arguments ARGS are passed to METHOD as arguments.  They are
converted into D-Bus types via the following rules:

  t and nil => DBUS_TYPE_BOOLEAN
  number    => DBUS_TYPE_UINT32
  integer   => DBUS_TYPE_INT32
  float     => DBUS_TYPE_DOUBLE
  string    => DBUS_TYPE_STRING
  list      => DBUS_TYPE_ARRAY

All arguments can be preceded by a type symbol.  For details about
type symbols, see Info node `(dbus)Type Conversion'.

`dbus-call-method' returns the resulting values of METHOD as a list of
Lisp objects.  The type conversion happens the other direction as for
input arguments.  It follows the mapping rules:

  DBUS_TYPE_BOOLEAN     => t or nil
  DBUS_TYPE_BYTE        => number
  DBUS_TYPE_UINT16      => number
  DBUS_TYPE_INT16       => integer
  DBUS_TYPE_UINT32      => number or float
  DBUS_TYPE_UNIX_FD     => number or float
  DBUS_TYPE_INT32       => integer or float
  DBUS_TYPE_UINT64      => number or float
  DBUS_TYPE_INT64       => integer or float
  DBUS_TYPE_DOUBLE      => float
  DBUS_TYPE_STRING      => string
  DBUS_TYPE_OBJECT_PATH => string
  DBUS_TYPE_SIGNATURE   => string
  DBUS_TYPE_ARRAY       => list
  DBUS_TYPE_VARIANT     => list
  DBUS_TYPE_STRUCT      => list
  DBUS_TYPE_DICT_ENTRY  => list

  \"org.gnome.seahorse.Keys\" \"GetKeyField\"
  \"openpgp:657984B8C7A966DD\" \"simple-name\")

  => (t (\"Philip R. Zimmermann\"))

If the result of the METHOD call is just one value, the converted Lisp
object is returned instead of a list containing this single Lisp object.

HANDLER is a Lisp function, which is called when the corresponding

will be expected.

in the hash table is removed, when the return message has been arrived,

  "Register for a signal on the D-Bus BUS.

BUS is either a Lisp symbol, `:system' or `:session', or a string

SERVICE is the D-Bus service name used by the sending D-Bus object.
It can be either a known name or the unique name of the D-Bus object
sending the signal.

PATH is the D-Bus object path SERVICE is registered.  INTERFACE
is an interface offered by SERVICE.  It must provide SIGNAL.
HANDLER is a Lisp function to be called when the signal is
received.  It must accept as arguments the values SIGNAL is
sending.

SERVICE, PATH, INTERFACE and SIGNAL can be nil.  This is
interpreted as a wildcard for the respective argument.

The remaining arguments ARGS can be keywords or keyword string pairs.
The meaning is as follows:

`:argN' STRING:
`:pathN' STRING: This stands for the Nth argument of the
signal.  `:pathN' arguments can be used for object path wildcard
matches as specified by D-Bus, while an `:argN' argument
requires an exact match.

`:arg-namespace' STRING: Register for the signals, which first
argument defines the service or interface namespace STRING.

`:path-namespace' STRING: Register for the object path namespace
STRING.  All signals sent from an object path, which has STRING as
the preceding string, are matched.  This requires PATH to be nil.

`:eavesdrop': Register for unicast signals which are not directed
to the D-Bus object Emacs is registered at D-Bus BUS, if the
security policy of BUS allows this.

Example:

\(defun my-signal-handler (device)
