| 49 | * @defgroup DBus D-Bus low-level public API |
| 50 | * @brief The low-level public API of the D-Bus library |
| 51 | * |
| 52 | * libdbus provides a low-level C API intended primarily for use by |
| 53 | * bindings to specific object systems and languages. D-Bus is most |
| 54 | * convenient when used with the GLib bindings, Python bindings, Qt |
| 55 | * bindings, Mono bindings, and so forth. This low-level API has a |
| 56 | * lot of complexity useful only for bindings. |
| 57 | * |
| 58 | * @{ |

| 64 | * @mainpage |
| 65 | * |
| 66 | * This manual documents the <em>low-level</em> D-Bus C API. <b>If you use |
| 67 | * this low-level API directly, you're signing up for some pain.</b> |
| 68 | * |
| 69 | * Caveats aside, you might get started learning the low-level API by reading |
| 70 | * about @ref DBusConnection and @ref DBusMessage. |
| 71 | * |
| 72 | * There are several other places to look for D-Bus information, such |
| 73 | * as the tutorial and the specification; those can be found at <a |
| 74 | * href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus">the D-Bus |
| 75 | * website</a>. If you're interested in a sysadmin or package |
| 76 | * maintainer's perspective on the dbus-daemon itself and its |
| 77 | * configuration, be sure to check out the man pages as well. |
| 78 | * |
| 79 | * The low-level API documented in this manual deliberately lacks |
| 80 | * most convenience functions - those are left up to higher-level libraries |
| 81 | * based on frameworks such as GLib, Qt, Python, Mono, Java, |
| 82 | * etc. These higher-level libraries (often called "D-Bus bindings") |
| 83 | * have features such as object systems and main loops that allow a |
| 84 | * <em>much</em> more convenient API. |
| 85 | * |
| 86 | * The low-level API also contains plenty of clutter to support |
| 87 | * integration with arbitrary object systems, languages, main loops, |
| 88 | * and so forth. These features add a lot of noise to the API that you |
| 89 | * probably don't care about unless you're coding a binding. |
| 90 | * |
| 91 | * This manual also contains docs for @ref DBusInternals "D-Bus internals", |
| 92 | * so you can use it to get oriented to the D-Bus source code if you're |
| 93 | * interested in patching the code. You should also read the |
| 94 | * file CONTRIBUTING.md which comes with the source code if you plan to |
| 95 | * contribute to D-Bus. |
| 96 | * |
| 97 | * As you read the code, you can identify internal D-Bus functions |
| 98 | * because they start with an underscore ('_') character. Also, any |
| 99 | * identifier or macro that lacks a DBus, dbus_, or DBUS_ namepace |
| 100 | * prefix is internal, with a couple of exceptions such as #NULL, |
| 101 | * #TRUE, and #FALSE. |
