.SH NAME
Net::DBus::GLib \- Perl extension for the DBus GLib bindings
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1
\&  ####### Attaching to the bus ###########
\&
\&  use Net::DBus::GLib;
\&
\&  # Find the most appropriate bus
\&  my $bus = Net::DBus::GLib\->find;
\&
\&  # ... or explicitly go for the session bus
\&  my $bus = Net::DBus::GLib\->session;
\&
\&  # .... or explicitly go for the system bus
\&  my $bus = Net::DBus::GLib\->system
.Ve
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Net::DBus::GLib provides an extension to the Net::DBus module
allowing integration with the GLib mainloop. To integrate with
the main loop, simply get a connection to the bus via the methods
in Net::DBus::GLib rather than the usual Net::DBus module.
That's it \- every other API remains the same.
.SH EXAMPLE
.IX Header "EXAMPLE"
As an example service using the GLib main loop, assuming that
SomeObject inherits from Net::DBus::Service
.PP
.Vb 3
\&  my $bus = Net::DBus::GLib\->session();
\&  my $service = $bus\->export_service("org.designfu.SampleService");
\&  my $object = SomeObject\->new($service);
\&
\&  Glib::MainLoop\->new()\->run();
.Ve
.PP
And as an example client
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  my $bus = Net::DBus::GLib\->session();
\&
\&  my $service = $bus\->get_service("org.designfu.SampleService");
\&  my $object = $service\->get_object("/SomeObject");
\&
\&  my $list = $object\->HelloWorld("Hello from example\-client.pl!");

Search for the most appropriate bus to connect to and
return a connection to it. For details of the heuristics
used, consult the method of the same name in \f(CW\*(C`Net::DBus\*(C'\fR.
The \f(CW%params\fR hash may contain an additional entry with a
name of \f(CW\*(C`context\*(C'\fR. This can be a reference to an instance
of the \f(CW\*(C`Glib::MainContext\*(C'\fR object; if omitted, the default
GLib context will be used.

.el .IP "my \f(CW$bus\fR = Net::DBus::GLib\->system(%params);" 4
.IX Item "my $bus = Net::DBus::GLib->system(%params);"
Return a handle for the system message bus. For further
details on this method, consult to the method of the
same name in Net::DBus. The \f(CW%params\fR hash may contain an
additional entry with a name of \f(CW\*(C`context\*(C'\fR. This can be a
reference to an instance of the \f(CW\*(C`Glib::MainContext\*(C'\fR object;
if omitted, the default GLib context will be used.

Return a handle for the session message bus. For further
