Class DBusObjectManagerClient

All Implemented Interfaces:
PointerInterface

public class DBusObjectManagerClient extends Object
#GDBusObjectManagerClient is used to create, monitor and delete object
proxies for remote objects exported by a #GDBusObjectManagerServer (or any
code implementing the
[org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager](http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#standard-interfaces-objectmanager)
interface).

Once an instance of this type has been created, you can connect to
the #GDBusObjectManager::object-added and
#GDBusObjectManager::object-removed signals and inspect the
#GDBusObjectProxy objects returned by
g_dbus_object_manager_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. g_dbus_object_manager_get_objects() returns the empty list) and
the #GDBusObjectManagerClient: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 #GObject::notify
signal to watch for changes on the #GDBusObjectManagerClient:name-owner
property. When the name owner vanishes, the behavior is that
#GDBusObjectManagerClient:name-owner is set to %NULL (this includes
emission of the #GObject::notify signal) and then
#GDBusObjectManager::object-removed signals are synthesized
for all currently existing object proxies. Since
#GDBusObjectManagerClient: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
#GDBusObjectManager. Similarly, when a new name owner appears,
#GDBusObjectManager::object-added signals are synthesized
while #GDBusObjectManagerClient:name-owner is still %NULL. Only when all
object proxies have been added, the #GDBusObjectManagerClient:name-owner
is set to the new name owner (this includes emission of the
#GObject::notify signal). Furthermore, you are guaranteed that
#GDBusObjectManagerClient: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 #GDBusProxy
instances. All signals (including the
org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties::PropertiesChanged signal)
delivered to #GDBusProxy 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
#GDBusObjectProxy and #GDBusProxy objects, the
#GDBusObject::interface-added,
#GDBusObject::interface-removed,
#GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed and
#GDBusProxy::g-signal signals
are also emitted on the #GDBusObjectManagerClient instance managing these
objects. The signals emitted are
#GDBusObjectManager::interface-added,
#GDBusObjectManager::interface-removed,
#GDBusObjectManagerClient::interface-proxy-properties-changed and
#GDBusObjectManagerClient::interface-proxy-signal.

Note that all callbacks and signals are emitted in the
[thread-default main context][g-main-context-push-thread-default]
that the #GDBusObjectManagerClient object was constructed
in. Additionally, the #GDBusObjectProxy and #GDBusProxy objects
originating from the #GDBusObjectManagerClient object will be created in
the same context and, consequently, will deliver signals in the
same main loop.
