NAME

       Net::DBus::GLib - Perl extension for the DBus GLib bindings

SYNOPSIS

         ####### 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

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.

EXAMPLE

       As an example service using the GLib main loop, assuming that SomeObject inherits from
       Net::DBus::Service

         my $bus = Net::DBus::GLib->session();
         my $service = $bus->export_service("org.designfu.SampleService");
         my $object = SomeObject->new($service);

         Glib::MainLoop->new()->run();

       And as an example client

         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!");

METHODS

       my $bus = Net::DBus::GLib->find(%params);
           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 "Net::DBus".
           The %params hash may contain an additional entry with a name of "context". This can be
           a reference to an instance of the "Glib::MainContext" object; if omitted, the default
           GLib context will be used.

       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 %params hash may contain an
           additional entry with a name of "context". This can be a reference to an instance of
           the "Glib::MainContext" object; if omitted, the default GLib context will be used.

       my $bus = Net::DBus::GLib->session(%params);
           Return a handle for the session message bus. For further details on this method,
           consult to the method of the same name in Net::DBus. The %params hash may contain an
           additional entry with a name of "context". This can be a reference to an instance of
           the "Glib::MainContext" object; if omitted, the default GLib context will be used.
