| 33 | <application>D-Bus</application> is a message bus system, a simple
|
|---|
| 34 | way for applications to talk to one another.
|
|---|
| 35 | <application>D-Bus</application> supplies both a system daemon (for events
|
|---|
| 36 | such as <quote>new hardware device added</quote> or <quote>printer queue
|
|---|
| 37 | changed</quote>) and a per-user-login-session daemon (for general IPC needs
|
|---|
| 38 | among user applications). Also, the message bus is built on top of a
|
|---|
| 39 | general one-to-one message passing framework, which can be used by any two
|
|---|
| 40 | applications to communicate directly (without going through the message bus
|
|---|
| 41 | daemon).
