Description
final class Gio.DBusServer : GObject.Object {
/* No available fields */
}GDBusServer is a helper for listening to and accepting D-Bus
connections. This can be used to create a new D-Bus server, allowing two
peers to use the D-Bus protocol for their own specialized communication.
A server instance provided in this way will not perform message routing or
implement the
org.freedesktop.DBus interface.
To just export an object on a well-known name on a message bus, such as the
session or system bus, you should instead use g_bus_own_name().
An example of peer-to-peer communication with GDBus can be found in gdbus-example-peer.c.
Note that a minimal GDBusServer will accept connections from any
peer. In many use-cases it will be necessary to add a
GDBusAuthObserver that only accepts connections that have
successfully authenticated as the same user that is running the
GDBusServer. Since GLib 2.68 this can be achieved more simply by passing
the G_DBUS_SERVER_FLAGS_AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRE_SAME_USER flag to the server.
