ABOUT:
-----
Eldbus provides easy access to D-Bus from EFL applications.
Eldbus allows connecting to both system and session buses acting as
both client and service roles.
Many official D-Bus specifications and interfaces are supported, namely:
- org.freedesktop.DBus.Peer: full support (Ping and GetMachineId).
- org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable: full support.
- org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties: full support.
- org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager: partial support (under dev).
One can create client-side objects using the low-level methods from
Eldbus_Connection and Eldbus_Object, or go high level with
Eldbus_Proxy.
RELATION TO OLD E_DBUS:
-----------------------
This is a replacement for old library "e_dbus". Its main purpose is to
fix some core bugs and completely encapsulating D-Bus without exposing
libdbus to end-user. One day libdbus may be completely removed as a
dependency.
REQUIREMENTS:
-------------
- libdbus-1
- eina >= 1.7
- ecore >= 1.7
CONTACT:
--------
Bugs, questions, ideas and comments should be addressed to:
enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
COMPILING AND INSTALLING:
-------------------------
Standard autotools process:
./autogen.sh # if trying development
./configure # if running from release tarball
make
sudo make install
