D-BUS is a message bus system, a simple way for applications
|
||
|
|
to talk to one another.

The message bus daemon forms the hub of a wheel. Each spoke
|
||
|
|
of the wheel is a one-to-one connection to an application
|
||
|
|
using libdbus. An application sends a message to the bus
|
||
|
|
daemon over its spoke, and the bus daemon forwards the
|
||
|
|
message to other connected applications as appropriate. Think
|
||
|
|
of the daemon as a router.

|
The bus daemon has multiple instances on a typical
|
||
|
|
computer. The first instance is a machine-global singleton,
|
||
|
|
that is, a system daemon similar to sendmail or Apache. This
|
||
|
|
instance has heavy security restrictions on what messages it
|
||
|
|
will accept, and is used for systemwide communication. The
|
||
|
|
other instances are created one per user login session. These
|
||
|
|
instances allow applications in the user's session to
|
||
|
|
communicate with one another.
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
<para>
|
||
|
|
The systemwide and per-user daemons are separate. Normal
|
||
|
|
within-session IPC does not involve the systemwide message
|
||
|
|
bus process and vice versa.
