Gio.DBUS_METHOD_INVOCATION_HANDLED = 1

The value returned by handlers of the signals generated by the gdbus-codegen tool to indicate that a method call has been handled by an implementation. It is equal to True, but using this macro is sometimes more readable.

In code that needs to be backwards-compatible with older GLib, use True instead, often written like this:

g_dbus_method_invocation_return_error (invocation, ...);
return TRUE;    // handled

New in version 2.68.

Gio.DBUS_METHOD_INVOCATION_UNHANDLED = 0

The value returned by handlers of the signals generated by the gdbus-codegen tool to indicate that a method call has not been handled by an implementation. It is equal to False, but using this macro is sometimes more readable.
