Qt3 Bindings for D-Bus

D-Bus is an IPC (inter process communication) technology designed to allow applications to interoperate without requiring tight coupling.

For more information about D-Bus itself see its website: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fdbus

The Qt3 D-Bus bindings described here are a Qt3 style API around the base implementation to enable Qt3 developers to use D-Bus in their applications without requiring them to know about the details of the C based D-Bus API.

The two main use cases are:

• using the API to access service implemented in other applications. See section Using D-Bus as a client for an introduction on this

• using the API to provide access to services implemented in your application See section Providing services over D-Bus for an introduction on this

Of course an application can do both at the same time.
