.SH NAME
|
|
dbus-send \- Send a message to a message bus
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B dbus-send
|
|
[\-\-system] [\-\-dest=SERVICE] [\-\-print-reply] <message name> [contents ...]
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The \fIdbus-send\fP command is used to send a message to a D-BUS message
|
|
bus. See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ for more
|
|
information about the big picture.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
There are two well-known message buses: the systemwide message bus
|
|
(installed on many systems as the "messagebus" service) and the
|
|
per-user-login-session message bus (started each time a user logs in).
|
|
\fIdbus-send\fP sends messages to the session bus by default, and
|
|
to the system bus if you specify \-\-system.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
Nearly all uses of \fIdbus-send\fP must provide the \-\-dest
|
|
argument which is the name of a service on the bus to send
|
|
the message to. The other required argument is the name
|
|
of the message to send. Following arguments are the message
|
|
contents (message arguments).
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
The message arguments are given as a type name, a colon,
|
|
and then the value of the argument. The possible type names
|
|
are: string, int32, uint32, double, byte, boolean.
|
|
D-BUS supports more types than these, but \fIdbus-send\fP
|
|
does not currently.
|
|

Here is an example invocation:
|
|
.nf
|
|
|
|
dbus-send \-\-dest='org.freedesktop.ExampleService' \\
|
|
org.freedesktop.ExampleMessage \\
|
|
int32:47 string:'hello world' double:65.32
|
|
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
.SH OPTIONS

The following options are supported:
|
|
.TP
|

|

Block for a reply to the message sent, and print any reply received.
|
|
.TP
