Description Daniel Reed 2005-01-31 11:50:00 UTC

dbus-monitor is useful as a diagnostic tool for debugging DBUS clients and
servers. DBUS allows busses to be created other than the session and system bus,
but dbus-monitor does not have any way to monitor these alternate busses.

second patch; modifies dbus-send in the same way

Comment 3 Colin Walters 2005-06-15 22:27:56 UTC

Well, if we're going to extend it this way we should probably support the
non-bus (i.e. peer-to-peer) too.  So in that case you wouldn't call
dbus_bus_register.

Updated to master and pushed.
