g_dbus_is_address ()

gboolean
g_dbus_is_address (const gchar *string);

Checks if string is a D-Bus address.

This doesn't check if string is actually supported by GDBusServer or GDBusConnection - use g_dbus_is_supported_address() to do more checks.

g_dbus_is_supported_address ()

gboolean
g_dbus_is_supported_address (const gchar *string,
                             GError **error);

Like g_dbus_is_address() but also checks if the library supports the transports in string and that key/value pairs for each transport are valid. See the specification of the D-Bus address format.

g_dbus_address_get_stream ()

void
g_dbus_address_get_stream (const gchar *address,
                           GCancellable *cancellable,
                           GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                           gpointer user_data);

Asynchronously connects to an endpoint specified by address and sets up the connection so it is in a state to run the client-side of the D-Bus authentication conversation. address must be in the D-Bus address format.

When the operation is finished, callback will be invoked. You can then call g_dbus_address_get_stream_finish() to get the result of the operation.

This is an asynchronous failable function. See g_dbus_address_get_stream_sync() for the synchronous version.

g_dbus_address_get_stream_finish ()

GIOStream *
g_dbus_address_get_stream_finish (GAsyncResult *res,
                                  gchar **out_guid,
                                  GError **error);

Finishes an operation started with g_dbus_address_get_stream().

A server is not required to set a GUID, so out_guid may be set to NULL even on success.

g_dbus_address_get_stream_sync ()

GIOStream *
g_dbus_address_get_stream_sync (const gchar *address,
                                gchar **out_guid,
                                GCancellable *cancellable,
                                GError **error);

Synchronously connects to an endpoint specified by address and sets up the connection so it is in a state to run the client-side of the D-Bus authentication conversation. address must be in the D-Bus address format.

A server is not required to set a GUID, so out_guid may be set to NULL even on success.

This is a synchronous failable function. See g_dbus_address_get_stream() for the asynchronous version.

g_dbus_address_get_for_bus_sync ()

gchar *
g_dbus_address_get_for_bus_sync (GBusType bus_type,
                                 GCancellable *cancellable,
                                 GError **error);

Synchronously looks up the D-Bus address for the well-known message bus instance specified by bus_type . This may involve using various platform specific mechanisms.

The returned address will be in the D-Bus address format.

Since: 2.26

g_dbus_address_escape_value ()

gchar *
g_dbus_address_escape_value (const gchar *string);

Escape string so it can appear in a D-Bus address as the value part of a key-value pair.

For instance, if string is /run/bus-for-:0, this function would return /run/bus-for-%3A0, which could be used in a D-Bus address like unix:nonce-tcp:host=127.0.0.1,port=42,noncefile=/run/bus-for-%3A0.
