# Source: dbus # Package: dbus # Versions: dbus (1.0.2-1), dbus (1.0.2-1+etch2), dbus (1.0.2-1+etch3) # Prioritize: 45 Description: simple interprocess messaging system 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. . D-Bus is still under heavy development, but is expected to be widely used. It comes with several interfaces, including GLib. See the description of dbus-glib-1 for more information about those. . This package contains the D-Bus daemon; the client-side library can be found in the libdbus-1-3 package, as it is no longer contained in this package.
