g_dbus_server_new_sync ()

GDBusServer *
g_dbus_server_new_sync (const gchar *address,
                        GDBusServerFlags flags,
                        const gchar *guid,
                        GDBusAuthObserver *observer,
                        GCancellable *cancellable,
                        GError **error);

Creates a new D-Bus server that listens on the first address in address that works.

Once constructed, you can use g_dbus_server_get_client_address() to get a D-Bus address string that clients can use to connect.

Connect to the “new-connection” signal to handle incoming connections.

The returned GDBusServer isn't active - you have to start it with g_dbus_server_start().

GDBusServer is used in this example.

This is a synchronous failable constructor. See g_dbus_server_new() for the asynchronous version.

enum GDBusServerFlags

Flags used when creating a GDBusServer.

Since: 2.26

The “active” property

  “active”                   gboolean

Whether the server is currently active.

Flags: Read

Default value: FALSE

Since: 2.26

The “address” property

  “address”                  gchar *

The D-Bus address to listen on.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

Default value: NULL

Since: 2.26

The “authentication-observer” property

  “authentication-observer”  GDBusAuthObserver *

A GDBusAuthObserver object to assist in the authentication process or NULL.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

Since: 2.26

The “client-address” property

  “client-address”           gchar *

The D-Bus address that clients can use.

Flags: Read

Default value: NULL

Since: 2.26

The “flags” property

  “flags”                    GDBusServerFlags

Flags from the GDBusServerFlags enumeration.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

Since: 2.26

The “guid” property

  “guid”                     gchar *

The guid of the server.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

Default value: NULL

Since: 2.26

The “new-connection” signal

gboolean
user_function (GDBusServer     *server,
               GDBusConnection *connection,
               gpointer         user_data)

Emitted when a new authenticated connection has been made. Use g_dbus_connection_get_peer_credentials() to figure out what identity (if any), was authenticated.

If you want to accept the connection, take a reference to the connection object and return TRUE. When you are done with the connection call g_dbus_connection_close() and give up your reference. Note that the other peer may disconnect at any time - a typical thing to do when accepting a connection is to listen to the “closed” signal.

If “flags” contains G_DBUS_SERVER_FLAGS_RUN_IN_THREAD then the signal is emitted in a new thread dedicated to the connection. Otherwise the signal is emitted in the thread-default main context of the thread that server was constructed in.

You are guaranteed that signal handlers for this signal runs before incoming messages on connection are processed. This means that it's suitable to call g_dbus_connection_register_object() or similar from the signal handler.

Flags: Run Last
