Net::DBus::Service \- Provide a service to the bus for clients to use
.SH SYNOPSIS

.Vb 1
\&  package main;
\&
\&  use Net::DBus;
\&
\&  # Attach to the bus
\&  my $bus = Net::DBus\->find;
\&
\&  # Acquire a service \*(Aqorg.demo.Hello\*(Aq
\&  my $service = $bus\->export_service("org.demo.Hello");

.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module represents a service which is exported to the message
bus. Once a service has been exported, it is possible to create
and export objects to the bus.
.SH METHODS
.IX Header "METHODS"
.ie n .IP "my $service = Net::DBus::Service\->new($bus, $name);" 4
.el .IP "my \f(CW$service\fR = Net::DBus::Service\->new($bus, \f(CW$name\fR);" 4
.IX Item "my $service = Net::DBus::Service->new($bus, $name);"
Create a new service, attaching to the bus provided in
the \f(CW$bus\fR parameter, which should be an instance of
the Net::DBus object. The \f(CW$name\fR parameter is the
qualified service name. It is not usually necessary to
use this constructor, since services can be created via
the \f(CW\*(C`export_service\*(C'\fR method on the Net::DBus object.
.Sp
When \f(CW$name\fR is not specified or is \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR then returned
handle to the service is identified only by the unique name
of client's connection to the bus.
.ie n .IP "my $bus = $service\->get_bus;" 4
.el .IP "my \f(CW$bus\fR = \f(CW$service\fR\->get_bus;" 4
.IX Item "my $bus = $service->get_bus;"
Retrieves the Net::DBus object to which this service is
attached.
.ie n .IP "my $name = $service\->get_service_name" 4
.el .IP "my \f(CW$name\fR = \f(CW$service\fR\->get_service_name" 4
.IX Item "my $name = $service->get_service_name"
Retrieves the qualified name by which this service is
known on the bus.
