dbus_g_method_get_sender ()

gchar *
dbus_g_method_get_sender (DBusGMethodInvocation *context);

Get the sender of a message so we can send a "reply" later (i.e. send a message directly to a service which invoked the method at a later time).

dbus_g_method_get_reply ()

DBusMessage *
dbus_g_method_get_reply (DBusGMethodInvocation *context);

Get the reply message to append reply values Used as a sidedoor when you can't generate dbus values of the correct type due to glib binding limitations

dbus_g_method_send_reply ()

void
dbus_g_method_send_reply (DBusGMethodInvocation *context,
                          DBusMessage *reply);

Send a manually created reply message.

Used as a sidedoor when you can't generate dbus values of the correct type due to glib binding limitations

dbus_g_method_return ()

void
dbus_g_method_return (DBusGMethodInvocation *context,
                      ...);

Send a return message for a given method invocation, with arguments. This function also frees the sending context.

dbus_g_method_return_error ()

void
dbus_g_method_return_error (DBusGMethodInvocation *context,
                            const GError *error);

Send a error message for a given method invocation. This function also frees the sending context.

struct DBusGMethodInfo

struct DBusGMethodInfo {
  GCallback                 function;    
  GClosureMarshal           marshaller;  
  int                       data_offset; 
};

Object typically generated by dbus-binding-tool that stores a mapping from introspection data to a function pointer for a C method to be invoked.

DBusGMethodInvocation

typedef struct _DBusGMethodInvocation DBusGMethodInvocation;

The context of an asynchronous method call. See dbus_g_method_return() and dbus_g_method_return_error().
