dbus - 1.16.0-1 main

D-Bus is a message bus, used for sending messages between applications.
Conceptually, it fits somewhere in between raw sockets and CORBA in
terms of complexity.
.
D-Bus supports broadcast messages, asynchronous messages (thus
decreasing latency), authentication, and more. It is designed to be
low-overhead; messages are sent using a binary protocol, not using
XML. D-Bus also supports a method call mapping for its messages, but
it is not required; this makes using the system quite simple.
.
It comes with several bindings, including GLib, Python, Qt and Java.
.
This package provides a fully-functional D-Bus system bus with activation
support, used for communication between system services, and depends on
most of the other components of the reference implementation of D-Bus.
.
To provide a complete D-Bus session bus, install one of the packages
that implement the dbus-session-bus virtual package, such as
dbus-user-session. The recommended implementation is indicated by
the default-dbus-session-bus virtual package.
