Class Details¶

class Gio.DBusObjectManagerClient(**kwargs)¶

Bases:: GObject.Object, Gio.AsyncInitable, Gio.DBusObjectManager, Gio.Initable
Abstract:: No
Structure:: Gio.DBusObjectManagerClientClass

GDBusObjectManagerClient is used to create, monitor and delete object proxies for remote objects exported by a [class`Gio`.DBusObjectManagerServer] (or any code implementing the org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager interface).

Once an instance of this type has been created, you can connect to the [signal`Gio`.DBusObjectManager::object-added] and [signal`Gio`.DBusObjectManager::object-removed signals] and inspect the [class`Gio`.DBusObjectProxy] objects returned by [method`Gio`.DBusObjectManager.get_objects].

If the name for a GDBusObjectManagerClient is not owned by anyone at object construction time, the default behavior is to request the message bus to launch an owner for the name. This behavior can be disabled using the G_DBUS_OBJECT_MANAGER_CLIENT_FLAGS_DO_NOT_AUTO_START flag. It’s also worth noting that this only works if the name of interest is activatable in the first place. E.g. in some cases it is not possible to launch an owner for the requested name. In this case, GDBusObjectManagerClient object construction still succeeds but there will be no object proxies (e.g. [method`Gio`.DBusObjectManager.get_objects] returns the empty list) and the [property`Gio`.DBusObjectManagerClient:name-owner] property is NULL.

The owner of the requested name can come and go (for example consider a system service being restarted) – GDBusObjectManagerClient handles this case too; simply connect to the [signal`GObject`.Object::notify] signal to watch for changes on the [property`Gio`.DBusObjectManagerClient:name-owner] property. When the name owner vanishes, the behavior is that [property`Gio`.DBusObjectManagerClient:name-owner] is set to NULL (this includes emission of the [signal`GObject`.Object::notify] signal) and then [signal`Gio`.DBusObjectManager::object-removed] signals are synthesized for all currently existing object proxies. Since [property`Gio`.DBusObjectManagerClient:name-owner] is NULL when this happens, you can use this information to disambiguate a synthesized signal from a genuine signal caused by object removal on the remote [iface`Gio`.DBusObjectManager]. Similarly, when a new name owner appears, [signal`Gio`.DBusObjectManager::object-added] signals are synthesized while [property`Gio`.DBusObjectManagerClient:name-owner] is still NULL. Only when all object proxies have been added, the [property`Gio`.DBusObjectManagerClient:name-owner] is set to the new name owner (this includes emission of the [signal`GObject`.Object::notify] signal). Furthermore, you are guaranteed that [property`Gio`.DBusObjectManagerClient:name-owner] will alternate between a name owner (e.g. :1.42) and NULL even in the case where the name of interest is atomically replaced

Ultimately, GDBusObjectManagerClient is used to obtain [class`Gio`.DBusProxy] instances. All signals (including the org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties::PropertiesChanged signal) delivered to [class`Gio`.DBusProxy] instances are guaranteed to originate from the name owner. This guarantee along with the behavior described above, means that certain race conditions including the “half the proxy is from the old owner and the other half is from the new owner” problem cannot happen.

To avoid having the application connect to signals on the returned [class`Gio`.DBusObjectProxy] and [class`Gio`.DBusProxy] objects, the [signal`Gio`.DBusObject::interface-added], [signal`Gio`.DBusObject::interface-removed], [signal`Gio`.DBusProxy::g-properties-changed] and [signal`Gio`.DBusProxy::g-signal] signals are also emitted on the GDBusObjectManagerClient instance managing these objects. The signals emitted are [signal`Gio`.DBusObjectManager::interface-added], [signal`Gio`.DBusObjectManager::interface-removed], [signal`Gio`.DBusObjectManagerClient::interface-proxy-properties-changed] and [signal`Gio`.DBusObjectManagerClient::interface-proxy-signal].

Note that all callbacks and signals are emitted in the thread-default main context (see [method`GLib`.MainContext.push_thread_default]) that the GDBusObjectManagerClient object was constructed in. Additionally, the [class`Gio`.DBusObjectProxy] and [class`Gio`.DBusProxy] objects originating from the GDBusObjectManagerClient object will be created in the same context and, consequently, will deliver signals in the same main loop.

This is an asynchronous failable constructor. When the result is ready, callback will be invoked in the thread-default main context (see [method`GLib`.MainContext.push_thread_default]) of the thread you are calling this method from. You can then call Gio.DBusObjectManagerClient.new_finish() to get the result. See Gio.DBusObjectManagerClient.new_sync() for the synchronous version.

New in version 2.30.

classmethod new_finish(res)[source]¶

Parameters:: res (Gio.AsyncResult) – A Gio.AsyncResult obtained from the Gio.AsyncReadyCallback passed to Gio.DBusObjectManagerClient.new().
Raises:: GLib.Error
Returns:: A Gio.DBusObjectManagerClient object or None if error is set. Free with GObject.Object.unref().
Return type:: Gio.DBusObjectManagerClient

Finishes an operation started with Gio.DBusObjectManagerClient.new().

New in version 2.30.

classmethod new_for_bus(bus_type, flags, name, object_path, get_proxy_type_func, get_proxy_type_user_data, cancellable, callback, *user_data)[source]¶

This is an asynchronous failable constructor. When the result is ready, callback will be invoked in the thread-default main context (see [method`GLib`.MainContext.push_thread_default]) of the thread you are calling this method from. You can then call Gio.DBusObjectManagerClient.new_for_bus_finish() to get the result. See Gio.DBusObjectManagerClient.new_for_bus_sync() for the synchronous version.

Signal Details¶

Gio.DBusObjectManagerClient.signals.interface_proxy_properties_changed(d_bus_object_manager_client, object_proxy, interface_proxy, changed_properties, invalidated_properties)¶

Signal Name:

interface-proxy-properties-changed

Flags:

RUN_LAST

Parameters:

d_bus_object_manager_client (Gio.DBusObjectManagerClient) – The object which received the signal
object_proxy (Gio.DBusObjectProxy) – The Gio.DBusObjectProxy on which an interface has properties that are changing.
interface_proxy (Gio.DBusProxy) – The Gio.DBusProxy that has properties that are changing.
changed_properties (GLib.Variant) – A GLib.Variant containing the properties that changed (type: a{sv}).
invalidated_properties ([str]) – A None terminated array of properties that were invalidated.

Emitted when one or more D-Bus properties on proxy changes. The local cache has already been updated when this signal fires. Note that both changed_properties and invalidated_properties are guaranteed to never be None (either may be empty though).

This signal exists purely as a convenience to avoid having to connect signals to all interface proxies managed by manager.
