GLib with kdbus support
|
||
|
|
=======================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The main goal of the project is add support for kdbus in GLib. More info about development status and some implementation details you can find here:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=721861
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The most important tasks in new implementation are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- add low-level support for kdbus,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- add support for two new bus types called "user" and "machine" (for kdbus purposes),
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- introduce new library API for common tasks such as fetching the list of name
|
||
|
|
owners on the bus, checking sender's PID, ..., (because it is not permitted to make
|
||
|
|
calls to the org.freedesktop.DBus destination on the new bus types),
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What is kdbus?
|
||
|
|
==============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
kdbus is a Linux kernel D-Bus implementation. See kdbus.txt in kdbus repository [1] for kernel-side details. The userspace side is also developed in systemd repo [2].
