Unix_Timestamp — u
An unsigned 32-bit integer representing time as the number
of seconds elapsed since the Unix epoch
(1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)
Simple Type (Permalink)
Unix_Timestamp64 — x
An signed 64-bit integer representing time as the number
of seconds elapsed since the Unix epoch
(1970-01-01T00:00:00Z); negative for times before the epoch
Simple Type (Permalink)
DBus_Bus_Name — s
A string representing a D-Bus bus name - either a well-known
name like "org.freedesktop.Telepathy.MissionControl" or a unique name
like ":1.123"
Simple Type (Permalink)
DBus_Well_Known_Name — s
A string representing a D-Bus well-known
name like "org.freedesktop.Telepathy.MissionControl".
Simple Type (Permalink)
DBus_Unique_Name — s
A string representing a D-Bus unique name, such as
":1.123"
Simple Type (Permalink)
DBus_Interface — s
An ASCII string representing a D-Bus interface - two or more
elements separated by dots, where each element is a non-empty
string of ASCII letters, digits and underscores, not starting with
a digit. The maximum total length is 255 characters. For example,
"org.freedesktop.DBus.Peer".
Simple Type (Permalink)
DBus_Error_Name — s
An ASCII string representing a D-Bus error. This is
syntactically the same as a DBus_Interface, but the
meaning is different.
Simple Type (Permalink)
DBus_Signature — s
A string representing a D-Bus signature
(the 'g' type isn't used because of poor interoperability, particularly
with dbus-glib)
Simple Type (Permalink)
DBus_Member — s
An ASCII string representing a D-Bus method, signal
or property name - a non-empty string of ASCII letters, digits and
underscores, not starting with a digit, with a maximum length of 255
characters. For example, "Ping".
Simple Type (Permalink)
DBus_Qualified_Member — s
A string representing the full name of a D-Bus method,
signal or property, consisting of a DBus_Interface, followed by
a dot, followed by a DBus_Member. For example,
"org.freedesktop.DBus.Peer.Ping".
Simple Type (Permalink)
User_Action_Timestamp — x
The time at which an user action occurred. This type has the 2 following special values:
0: the action doesn't involve any user action. Clients SHOULD avoid stealing focus when presenting the channel.
MAX_INT64: clients SHOULD behave as though the user action happened at the current time, e.g. a client MAY request that its window gains focus.
Rationale:
This can be used by clients that can't know the X server time like command line applications for example.
For all the other values it corresponds to the time of the user action. Clients SHOULD use this for focus-stealing prevention, if applicable. Note that the time is dependant on the local environment and so is not necessarily a wall-clock time. For example in an X environment it's expected to be the X timestamp of events. This corresponds to the _NET_WM_USER_TIME property in EWMH.
Mapping (Permalink)
Qualified_Property_Value_Map — a{sv}
A mapping from strings representing D-Bus
properties (by their namespaced names) to their values.
- Key — s (DBus_Qualified_Member)
- Value — v
A D-Bus interface name, followed by a dot and a D-Bus property name.
The value of the property.
Mapping (Permalink)
String_Variant_Map — a{sv}
A mapping from strings to variants representing extra
key-value pairs.
- Key — s
- Value — v
Mapping (Permalink)
String_String_Map — a{ss}
A mapping from strings to strings representing extra
key-value pairs.
- Key — s
- Value — s
Mapping (Permalink)
Object_Immutable_Properties_Map — a{oa{sv}}
A mapping from object path to the immutable properties of
the object.
- Path — o
- Immutable_Properties — a{sv} (Qualified_Property_Value_Map)
The object path of an object
The immutable properties of the object
Struct (Permalink)
Socket_Address_IP — (sq)
An IP address and port.
- Address — s

Socket_Address_IPv4, or an RFC2373 IPv6 address
as for Socket_Address_IPv6.
The TCP or UDP port number.
Struct (Permalink)
Socket_Address_IPv4 — (sq)
An IPv4 address and port.
- Address — s
- Port — q
A dotted-quad IPv4 address literal: four ASCII decimal
numbers, each between 0 and 255 inclusive, e.g.

Struct (Permalink)
Socket_Address_IPv6 — (sq)
An IPv6 address and port.
- Address — s
- Port — q

Struct (Permalink)
Socket_Netmask_IPv4 — (sy)

match, for this netmask to be considered to match an
address.
Struct (Permalink)
