* bus/config-parser.c: (struct PolicyType): Add POLICY_CONSOLE (struct Element.d.policy): s/gid_or_uid/gid_uid_or_at_console (start_busconfig_child): Sets up console element when <policy at_console=""> is encountered in a policy file (append_rule_from_element): Convert console elements to console rules. * bus/policy.c: (bus_policy_create_client_policy): Add console rules to the client policy based on if the client is at the console (bus_policy_append_console_rule): New function for adding a console rule to a policy (bus_policy_merge): Handle console rule merging * dbus/dbus-sysdeps.h: Added the DBUS_CONSOLE_DIR constant where we check for console user files * dbus/dbus-sysdeps.c: (_dbus_file_exists): New function which checks if the given file exists (_dbus_user_at_console): New function which does the system specific process of checking if the user is at the console * dbus/dbus-userdb.c: (_dbus_is_console_user): New function converts a UID to user name and then calls the system specific _dbus_user_at_console to see if the user is at the console and therefor a console user |

D-BUS is a simple IPC library based on messages. See also the file HACKING for notes of interest to developers working on D-BUS. See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ for lots of documentation, mailing lists, etc. Note === A core concept of the D-BUS implementation is that "libdbus" is intended to be a low-level API, similar to Xlib. Most programmers are intended to use the bindings to GLib, Qt, Python, Mono, Java, or whatever. These bindings have varying levels of completeness. Configuration flags === These are the dbus-specific configuration flags that can be given to the ./configure program. --enable-qt enable Qt-friendly client library --enable-glib enable GLib-friendly client library --enable-mono enable mono bindings --enable-mono-docs build mono documentation (requires monodoc) --enable-tests enable unit test code --enable-ansi enable -ansi -pedantic gcc flags --enable-verbose-mode support verbose debug mode --enable-asserts include assertion checks --enable-checks include sanity checks on public API --enable-docs build documentation (requires Doxygen and jade) --enable-gcov compile with coverage profiling instrumentation (gcc only) --enable-python build python bindings (reqires Pyrex >= 0.9) --with-xml=libxml/expat XML library to use --with-init-scripts=redhat Style of init scripts to install --with-session-socket-dir=dirname Where to put sockets for the per-login-session message bus --with-test-socket-dir=dirname Where to put sockets for make check --with-system-pid-file=pidfile PID file for systemwide daemon --with-system-socket=filename UNIX domain socket for systemwide daemon API/ABI Policy === D-BUS API/ABI and protocol necessarily remain in flux until we are sure it will meet the various needs it's intended to meet. This means we need to see some significant sample usage in the contexts of GNOME, KDE, desktop applications, and systemwide uses such as print queue monitoring, hotplug events, or whatever. We need the flexibility to incorporate feedback from this sample usage. Once we feel confident in the protocol and the API, we will release a version 1.0. At that point, the intent is: - The protocol will never be broken again; any message bus should work with any client forever. However, extensions are possible where the protocol is extensible. - If the library API is modified incompatibly, we will rename it as in http://ometer.com/parallel.html - in other words, it will always be possible to compile against and use the older API, and apps will always get the API they expect. Until 1.0 is released, feedback that requires API changes may be incorporated into D-BUS. This may break the API, the ABI, the protocol, or all three. To avoid a huge soname, the plan is to increment the soname only between official stable releases, not with every development snapshot. Versions numbered 0.x are considered development snapshots. Until 1.0 is released, you have to define -DDBUS_API_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE just as a safety check to be sure everyone is aware of this API/ABI policy and has the right expectations. We do need people to test the APIs, so please do use the development snapshots of D-BUS. They are intended to work and we do actively address bugs. However, if you're shipping a commercial binary-only application that needs to keep running on M future versions of N operating systems, you might want to include your own copy of D-BUS rather than relying on the installed copy, for example.
