## Method calls

data MethodCall #

A method call is a request to run some procedure exported by the remote process. Procedures are identified by an (object_path, interface_name, method_name) tuple.

Instances

Eq MethodCall # |
Methods (==) :: MethodCall -> MethodCall -> Bool # (/=) :: MethodCall -> MethodCall -> Bool #
Show MethodCall # |
Methods showsPrec :: Int -> MethodCall -> ShowS # show :: MethodCall -> String # showList :: [MethodCall] -> ShowS #
Message MethodCall # |
Methods messageTypeCode :: MethodCall -> Word8 # messageHeaderFields :: MethodCall -> [HeaderField] # messageBody :: MethodCall -> [Variant] # messageFlags :: MethodCall -> Word8 #

methodCall :: ObjectPath -> InterfaceName -> MemberName -> MethodCall #

Construct a new `MethodCall` for the given object, interface, and method.

Use fields such as `methodCallDestination` and `methodCallBody` to populate a `MethodCall`.

    {-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}

    methodCall "/" "org.example.Math" "Add"
        { methodCallDestination = Just "org.example.Calculator"
        , methodCallBody = [toVariant (1 :: Int32), toVariant (2 :: Int32)]
        }

methodCallPath :: MethodCall -> ObjectPath #

The object path of the method call. Conceptually, object paths act like a procedural language's pointers. Each object referenced by a path is a collection of procedures.

methodCallInterface :: MethodCall -> Maybe InterfaceName #

The interface of the method call. Each object may implement any number of interfaces. Each method is part of at least one interface.

In certain cases, this may be `Nothing`, but most users should set it to a value.

methodCallMember :: MethodCall -> MemberName #

The method name of the method call. Method names are unique within an interface, but might not be unique within an object.

methodCallSender :: MethodCall -> Maybe BusName #

The name of the application that sent this call.

Most users will just leave this empty, because the bus overwrites the sender for security reasons. Setting the sender manually is used for peer-peer connections.

Defaults to `Nothing`.

methodCallDestination :: MethodCall -> Maybe BusName #

The name of the application to send the call to.

Most users should set this. If a message with no destination is sent to the bus, the bus will behave as if the destination was set to `org.freedesktop.DBus`. For peer-peer connections, the destination can be empty because there is only one peer.

Defaults to `Nothing`.

methodCallAutoStart :: MethodCall -> Bool #

Set whether the bus should auto-start the remote

Defaults to `True`.

methodCallReplyExpected :: MethodCall -> Bool #

Set whether a reply is expected. This can save network and cpu resources by inhibiting unnecessary replies.

Defaults to `True`.

methodCallBody :: MethodCall -> [Variant] #

The arguments to the method call. See `toVariant`.

Defaults to `[]`.

## Method returns

data MethodReturn #

A method return is a reply to a method call, indicating that the call succeeded.

Instances

Eq MethodReturn # |
Methods (==) :: MethodReturn -> MethodReturn -> Bool # (/=) :: MethodReturn -> MethodReturn -> Bool #
Show MethodReturn # |
Methods showsPrec :: Int -> MethodReturn -> ShowS # show :: MethodReturn -> String # showList :: [MethodReturn] -> ShowS #
Message MethodReturn # |
Methods messageTypeCode :: MethodReturn -> Word8 # messageHeaderFields :: MethodReturn -> [HeaderField] # messageBody :: MethodReturn -> [Variant] # messageFlags :: MethodReturn -> Word8 #

methodReturn :: Serial -> MethodReturn #

Construct a new `MethodReturn`, in reply to a method call with the given serial.

Use fields such as `methodReturnBody` to populate a `MethodReturn`.

methodReturnSerial :: MethodReturn -> Serial #

The serial of the original method call. This lets the original caller match up this reply to the pending call.

methodReturnSender :: MethodReturn -> Maybe BusName #

The name of the application that is returning from a call.

Most users will just leave this empty, because the bus overwrites the sender for security reasons. Setting the sender manually is used for peer-peer connections.

Defaults to `Nothing`.

methodReturnDestination :: MethodReturn -> Maybe BusName #

The name of the application that initiated the call.

Most users should set this. If a message with no destination is sent to the bus, the bus will behave as if the destination was set to `org.freedesktop.DBus`. For peer-peer connections, the destination can be empty because there is only one peer.

Defaults to `Nothing`.

methodReturnBody :: MethodReturn -> [Variant] #

Values returned from the method call. See `toVariant`.

Defaults to `[]`.

## Method errors

data MethodError #

A method error is a reply to a method call, indicating that the call received an error and did not succeed.

Instances

Eq MethodError # |
Methods (==) :: MethodError -> MethodError -> Bool # (/=) :: MethodError -> MethodError -> Bool #
Show MethodError # |
Methods showsPrec :: Int -> MethodError -> ShowS # show :: MethodError -> String # showList :: [MethodError] -> ShowS #
Message MethodError # |
Methods messageTypeCode :: MethodError -> Word8 # messageHeaderFields :: MethodError -> [HeaderField] # messageBody :: MethodError -> [Variant] # messageFlags :: MethodError -> Word8 #

methodError :: Serial -> ErrorName -> MethodError #

Construct a new `MethodError`, in reply to a method call with the given serial.

Use fields such as `methodErrorBody` to populate a `MethodError`.

methodErrorName :: MethodError -> ErrorName #

The name of the error type. Names are used so clients can handle certain classes of error differently from others.

methodErrorSerial :: MethodError -> Serial #

The serial of the original method call. This lets the original caller match up this reply to the pending call.

methodErrorSender :: MethodError -> Maybe BusName #

The name of the application that is returning from a call.

Most users will just leave this empty, because the bus overwrites the sender for security reasons. Setting the sender manually is used for peer-peer connections.

Defaults to `Nothing`.

methodErrorDestination :: MethodError -> Maybe BusName #

The name of the application that initiated the call.

Most users should set this. If a message with no destination is sent to the bus, the bus will behave as if the destination was set to `org.freedesktop.DBus`. For peer-peer connections, the destination can be empty because there is only one peer.

Defaults to `Nothing`.

methodErrorBody :: MethodError -> [Variant] #

Additional information about the error. By convention, if the error body contains any items, the first item should be a string describing the error.

methodErrorMessage :: MethodError -> String #

Get a human-readable description of the error, by returning the first item in the error body if it's a string.

## Signals

data Signal #

Signals are broadcast by applications to notify other clients of some event.

Instances

Eq Signal # |
Methods (==) :: Signal -> Signal -> Bool # (/=) :: Signal -> Signal -> Bool #
Show Signal # |
Methods showsPrec :: Int -> Signal -> ShowS # show :: Signal -> String # showList :: [Signal] -> ShowS #
Message Signal # |
Methods messageTypeCode :: Signal -> Word8 # messageHeaderFields :: Signal -> [HeaderField] # messageBody :: Signal -> [Variant] # messageFlags :: Signal -> Word8 #

signal :: ObjectPath -> InterfaceName -> MemberName -> Signal #

Construct a new `Signal` for the given object, interface, and signal name.

Use fields such as `signalBody` to populate a `Signal`.

signalPath :: Signal -> ObjectPath #

The path of the object that emitted this signal.

signalMember :: Signal -> MemberName #

The name of this signal.

signalInterface :: Signal -> InterfaceName #

The interface that this signal belongs to.

signalSender :: Signal -> Maybe BusName #

The name of the application that emitted this signal.

Most users will just leave this empty, because the bus overwrites the sender for security reasons. Setting the sender manually is used for peer-peer connections.

Defaults to `Nothing`.

signalDestination :: Signal -> Maybe BusName #

The name of the application to emit the signal to. If `Nothing`, the signal is sent to any application that has registered an appropriate match rule.

Defaults to `Nothing`.

signalBody :: Signal -> [Variant] #

Additional information about the signal, such as the new value or the time.

Defaults to `[]`.

## Received messages

data ReceivedMessage #

Not an actual message type, but a wrapper around messages received from the bus. Each value contains the message's `Serial`.

If casing against these constructors, always include a default case to handle messages of an unknown type. New message types may be added to the D-Bus specification, and applications should handle them gracefully by either ignoring or logging them.

Constructors

ReceivedMethodCall Serial MethodCall |
ReceivedMethodReturn Serial MethodReturn |
ReceivedMethodError Serial MethodError |
ReceivedSignal Serial Signal |

Methods showsPrec :: Int -> ReceivedMessage -> ShowS # show :: ReceivedMessage -> String # showList :: [ReceivedMessage] -> ShowS #

receivedMessageSerial :: ReceivedMessage -> Serial #

No matter what sort of message was received, get its serial.

receivedMessageSender :: ReceivedMessage -> Maybe BusName #

No matter what sort of message was received, get its sender (if provided).

receivedMessageBody :: ReceivedMessage -> [Variant] #

No matter what sort of message was received, get its body (if provided).

# Variants

data Variant #

Variants may contain any other built-in D-Bus value. Besides representing native `VARIANT` values, they allow type-safe storage and inspection of D-Bus collections.

variantType :: Variant -> Type #

Every variant is strongly-typed; that is, the type of its contained value is known at all times. This function retrieves that type, so that the correct cast can be used to retrieve the value.

class IsValue a => IsAtom a #

Atomic types can be used as keys to dictionaries.

Users may not provide new instances of `IsAtom` because this could allow dictionaries to be created with invalid keys.

# Addresses

data Address #

When a D-Bus server must listen for connections, or a client must connect to a server, the listening socket's configuration is specified with an address. An address contains the method, which determines the protocol and transport mechanism, and parameters, which provide additional method-specific information about the address.

Convert an address to a string in the format expected by `parseAddress`.

formatAddresses :: [Address] -> String #

Convert a list of addresses to a string in the format expected by `parseAddresses`.

parseAddress :: String -> Maybe Address #

Try to parse a string containing one valid address.

An address string is in the format `method:key1=val1,key2=val2`. There are some limitations on the characters allowed within methods and parameters; see the D-Bus specification for full details.

parseAddresses :: String -> Maybe [Address] #

Try to parse a string containing one or more valid addresses.

Addresses are separated by semicolons. See `parseAddress` for the format of addresses.

getSystemAddress :: IO (Maybe Address) #

Returns the address in the environment variable `DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS`, or `unix:path=/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket` if `DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS` is not set.

Returns `Nothing` if `DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS` contains an invalid address.

getSessionAddress :: IO (Maybe Address) #

Returns the address in the environment variable `DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS`, which must be set.

Returns `Nothing` if `DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS` is unset or contains an invalid address.

getStarterAddress :: IO (Maybe Address) #

Returns the address in the environment variable `DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS`, which must be set.

Returns `Nothing` if `DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS` is unset or contains an invalid address.
