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
       correspondance 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.
