Crate dbus [] [src]

D-Bus bindings for Rust

D-Bus is a message bus, and is mainly used in Linux for communication between processes. It is present by default on almost every Linux distribution out there, and runs in two instances - one per session, and one system-wide.

See the examples directory for some examples to get you started.
