Implemented Interfaces

GDBusInterfaceSkeleton implements GDBusInterface.

Includes

#include <gio/gio.h>

Description

Abstract base class for D-Bus interfaces on the service side.

Functions

g_dbus_interface_skeleton_flush ()

void
g_dbus_interface_skeleton_flush (GDBusInterfaceSkeleton *interface_);

If interface_ has outstanding changes, request for these changes to be emitted immediately.

For example, an exported D-Bus interface may queue up property changes and emit the `org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties::Propert`` signal later (e.g. in an idle handler). This technique is useful for collapsing multiple property changes into one.

Parameters

interface_

A GDBusInterfaceSkeleton.

 

Since: 2.30


g_dbus_interface_skeleton_get_info ()

GDBusInterfaceInfo *
g_dbus_interface_skeleton_get_info (GDBusInterfaceSkeleton *interface_);

Gets D-Bus introspection information for the D-Bus interface implemented by interface_ .

Parameters

interface_

A GDBusInterfaceSkeleton.

 

Returns

A GDBusInterfaceInfo (never NULL). Do not free.

[transfer none]

Since: 2.30


g_dbus_interface_skeleton_get_vtable ()

GDBusInterfaceVTable *
g_dbus_interface_skeleton_get_vtable (GDBusInterfaceSkeleton *interface_);

Gets the interface vtable for the D-Bus interface implemented by interface_ . The returned function pointers should expect interface_ itself to be passed as user_data .

[skip]

Parameters

interface_

A GDBusInterfaceSkeleton.

 

Returns

A GDBusInterfaceVTable (never NULL).

Since: 2.30

Since: 2.30


enum GDBusInterfaceSkeletonFlags

Flags describing the behavior of a GDBusInterfaceSkeleton instance.

Members

G_DBUS_INTERFACE_SKELETON_FLAGS_NONE

No flags set.

 

G_DBUS_INTERFACE_SKELETON_FLAGS_HANDLE_METHOD_INVOCATIONS_IN_THREAD

Each method invocation is handled in a thread dedicated to the invocation. This means that the method implementation can use blocking IO without blocking any other part of the process. It also means that the method implementation must use locking to access data structures used by other threads.

 

Since: 2.30

Property Details

The “g-flags” property

  “g-flags”                  GDBusInterfaceSkeletonFlags

Flags from the GDBusInterfaceSkeletonFlags enumeration.

Flags: Read / Write

Since: 2.30

Signal Details

The “g-authorize-method” signal

gboolean
user_function (GDBusInterfaceSkeleton *interface,
               GDBusMethodInvocation  *invocation,
               gpointer                user_data)

Emitted when a method is invoked by a remote caller and used to determine if the method call is authorized.

Note that this signal is emitted in a thread dedicated to handling the method call so handlers are allowed to perform blocking IO. This means that it is appropriate to call e.g. polkit_authority_check_authorization_sync() with the POLKIT_CHECK_AUTHORIZATION_FLAGS_ALLOW_USER_INTERACTION flag set.

If FALSE is returned then no further handlers are run and the signal handler must take a reference to invocation and finish handling the call (e.g. return an error via g_dbus_method_invocation_return_error()).

Otherwise, if TRUE is returned, signal emission continues. If no handlers return FALSE, then the method is dispatched. If interface has an enclosing GDBusObjectSkeleton, then the “authorize-method” signal handlers run before the handlers for this signal.

The default class handler just returns TRUE.

Please note that the common case is optimized: if no signals handlers are connected and the default class handler isn't overridden (for both interface and the enclosing GDBusObjectSkeleton, if any) and “g-flags” does not have the G_DBUS_INTERFACE_SKELETON_FLAGS_HANDLE_METHOD_INVOCATIONS_IN_THREAD flags set, no dedicated thread is ever used and the call will be handled in the same thread as the object that interface belongs to was exported in.

Parameters

interface

The GDBusInterfaceSkeleton emitting the signal.

 

invocation

A GDBusMethodInvocation.

 

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

 

Returns

TRUE if the call is authorized, FALSE otherwise.

Flags: Run Last
