NAME

       mdbus2 - Mickey's DBus introspection and interaction utility

SYNOPSIS

       mdbus2 [OPTIONS...] [ busname [ objectpath [ method [ params... ] ] ] ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  mdbus2  command is used to explore and interact with DBus services on your system bus
       and session bus. Called without any parameters, it will show the available services on the
       selected  bus.  Given  a  service name, it will show the available objects exported by the
       service. Given a service name and an object  path,  it  will  show  the  exposed  methods,
       signals, and properties of that object.

       There  are  two  well-known  message  buses: the systemwide message bus (installed on many
       systems as the "messagebus" service) and the per-user-login-session message  bus  (started
       each  time  a  user logs in).  The --system option directs mdbus2 to operate on the system
       bus rather than the session bus.

       mdbus2 has three  modes:  The  introspection  mode,  the  listening  mode  (-l),  and  the
       interactive  mode  (-i).   The  interactive  mode features readline command completion and
       history.

       The message bus configuration may keep mdbus2 from seeing all messages, especially if  you
       run it as a non-root user.

OPTIONS

       --show-anonymous
              Include unique DBus names (:1.xyz) in the output.

       --show-pids
              Include PIDs in the output. (Only valid in introspection mode)

       --listen
              Start in listening mode.

       --system
              Use the system bus rather than the session bus.

       --interactive
              Start in interactive mode.

EXAMPLE

       Here is an example of using mdbus2 to listen to all signals on the session bus.

         mdbus2 -s -l
