pub struct Message { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

A D-Bus Message.

The content of the message are stored in serialized format. To deserialize the body of the message, use the body method. You may also access the header and other details with the various other getters.

Also provided are constructors for messages of different types. These will mainly be useful for very advanced use cases as typically you will want to create a message for immediate dispatch and hence use the API provided by Connection, even when using the low-level API.

Note: The message owns the received FDs and will close them when dropped. You can call take_fds after deserializing to RawFD using body if you want to take the ownership. Moreover, a clone of a message with owned FDs will only receive unowned copies of the FDs.

Implementations

Create a message of type MessageType::MethodCall.

Create a message of type MessageType::Signal.

Create a message of type MessageType::MethodReturn.

Create a message of type MessageType::MethodError.

Take ownership of the associated file descriptors in the message.

When a message is received over a AF_UNIX socket, it may contain associated FDs. To prevent the message from closing those FDs on drop, call this method that returns all the received FDs with their ownership.

This function is Unix-specific.

Note: the message will continue to reference the files, so you must keep them open for as long as the message itself.

The signature of the body.

Note: While zbus treats multiple arguments as a struct (to allow you to use the tuple syntax), D-Bus does not. Since this method gives you the signature expected on the wire by D-Bus, the trailing and leading STRUCT signature parenthesis will not be present in case of multiple arguments.

Deserialize the header.

Note: prefer using the direct access methods if possible; they are more efficient.

Deserialize the fields.

Note: prefer using the direct access methods if possible; they are more efficient.

The message type.

The object to send a call to, or the object a signal is emitted from.

The interface to invoke a method call on, or that a signal is emitted from.

The member, either the method name or signal name.

The serial number of the message this message is a reply to.

Deserialize the body (without checking signature matching).

Deserialize the body using the contained signature.

Example
let send_body = (7i32, (2i32, "foo"), vec!["bar"]);
let message = Message::method(None::<&str>, Some("zbus.test"), "/", Some("zbus.test"), "ping", &send_body)?;
let body : zvariant::Structure = message.body()?;
let fields = body.fields();
assert!(matches!(fields[0], zvariant::Value::I32(7)));
assert!(matches!(fields[1], zvariant::Value::Structure(_)));
assert!(matches!(fields[2], zvariant::Value::Array(_)));

let reply_msg = Message::method_reply(None::<&str>, &message, &body)?;
let reply_value : (i32, (i32, &str), Vec<String>) = reply_msg.body()?;

assert_eq!(reply_value.0, 7);
assert_eq!(reply_value.2.len(), 1);

Get a reference to the byte encoding of the message.

Get a reference to the byte encoding of the body of the message.

Get the receive ordering of a message.

This may be used to identify how two events were ordered on the bus. It only produces a useful ordering for messages that were produced by the same zbus::Connection.

This is completely unrelated to the serial number on the message, which is set by the peer and might not be ordered at all.
