NAME

       Net::DBus::Binding::Server - A server to accept incoming connections

SYNOPSIS

       Creating a new server and accepting client connections

         use Net::DBus::Binding::Server;

         my $server = Net::DBus::Binding::Server->new(address => "unix:path=/path/to/socket");

         $server->connection_callback(\&new_connection);

         sub new_connection {
             my $connection = shift;

             .. work with new connection...
         }

       Managing the server and new connections in an event loop

         my $reactor = Net::DBus::Binding::Reactor->new();

         $reactor->manage($server);
         $reactor->run();

         sub new_connection {
             my $connection = shift;

             $reactor->manage($connection);
         }

DESCRIPTION

       A server for receiving connection from client programs.  The methods defined on this
       module have a close correspondence to the dbus_server_XXX methods in the C API, so for
       further details on their behaviour, the C API documentation may be of use.

METHODS

       my $server = Net::DBus::Binding::Server->new(address => "unix:path=/path/to/socket");
           Creates a new server binding it to the socket specified by the "address" parameter.

       $status = $server->is_connected();
           Returns zero if the server has been disconnected, otherwise a positive value is
           returned.

       $server->disconnect()
           Closes this server to the remote host. This method is called automatically during
           garbage collection (ie in the DESTROY method) if the programmer forgets to explicitly
           disconnect.

       $server->set_watch_callbacks(\&add_watch, \&remove_watch, \&toggle_watch);
           Register a set of callbacks for adding, removing & updating watches in the
           application's event loop. Each parameter should be a code reference, which on each
           invocation, will be supplied with two parameters, the server object and the watch
           object. If you are using a "Net::DBus::Binding::Reactor" object as the application
           event loop, then the 'manage' method on that object will call this on your behalf.

       $server->set_timeout_callbacks(\&add_timeout, \&remove_timeout, \&toggle_timeout);
           Register a set of callbacks for adding, removing & updating timeouts in the
           application's event loop. Each parameter should be a code reference, which on each
           invocation, will be supplied with two parameters, the server object and the timeout
           object. If you are using a "Net::DBus::Binding::Reactor" object as the application
           event loop, then the 'manage' method on that object will call this on your behalf.

       $server->set_connection_callback(\&handler)
           Registers the handler to use for dealing with new incoming connections from clients.
           The code reference will be invoked each time a new client connects and supplied with a
           single parameter which is the "Net::DBus::Binding::Connection" object representing the
           client.
