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
