## Detailed Description

A client-side proxy.

This is a base class used for proxies to access a D-Bus interface on a remote object. It can be constructed for both well-known and unique names.

By default, Proxy will cache all properties (and listen to changes) of the remote object, and proxy all signals that gets emitted. This behaviour can be changed by passing suitable ProxyFlags when the proxy is created. If the proxy is for a well-known name, the property cache is flushed when the name owner vanishes and reloaded when a name owner appears.

If a Proxy is used for a well-known name, the owner of the name is tracked and can be read from property_g_name_owner().

The generic signal_g_properties_changed() and signal_g_signal() signals are not very convenient to work with. Therefore, the recommended way of working with proxies is to subclass Proxy, and have more natural properties and signals in your derived class.

This documentation was adapted from the C API documentation. The C API docs has more information and an example.

| ) |  |

Asynchronously invokes the method_name method on proxy.

If method_name contains any dots, then name is split into interface and method name parts. This allows using proxy for invoking methods on other interfaces.

If the DBusConnection associated with proxy is closed then the operation will fail with IO_ERROR_CLOSED. If cancellable is canceled, the operation will fail with IO_ERROR_CANCELLED. If parameters contains a value not compatible with the D-Bus protocol, the operation fails with IO_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT.

If the parameters Variant is floating, it is consumed. This allows convenient 'inline' use of Glib::variant_new(), e.g.:

[C example ellipted]

If proxy has an expected interface (see DBusProxy::property_g_interface_info()) and method_name is referenced by it, then the return value is checked against the return type.

This is an asynchronous method. When the operation is finished, slot will be invoked in the [thread-default main context][g-main-context-push-thread-default] of the thread you are calling this method from. You can then call g_dbus_proxy_call_finish() to get the result of the operation. See g_dbus_proxy_call_sync() for the synchronous version of this method.

If slot is `nullptr` then the D-Bus method call message will be sent with the DBUS_MESSAGE_FLAGS_NO_REPLY_EXPECTED flag set.

| static

Creates a proxy for accessing interface_name on the remote object at object_path owned by name at connection and asynchronously loads D-Bus properties unless the DBUS_PROXY_FLAGS_DO_NOT_LOAD_PROPERTIES flag is used.

Connect to the DBusProxy::signal_g_properties_changed() signal to get notified about property changes.

If the DBUS_PROXY_FLAGS_DO_NOT_CONNECT_SIGNALS flag is not set, also sets up match rules for signals. Connect to the DBusProxy::signal_g_signal() signal to handle signals from the remote object.

If name is a well-known name and the DBUS_PROXY_FLAGS_DO_NOT_AUTO_START and DBUS_PROXY_FLAGS_DO_NOT_AUTO_START_AT_CONSTRUCTION flags aren't set and no name owner currently exists, the message bus will be requested to launch a name owner for the name.

This is a failable asynchronous constructor - when the proxy is ready, slot will be invoked and you can use g_dbus_proxy_new_finish() to get the result.

Ensure that interactions with this proxy conform to the given interface.

This is mainly to ensure that malformed data received from the other peer is ignored. The given DBusInterfaceInfo is said to be the "expected interface".

The checks performed are:

- When completing a method call, if the type signature of the reply message isn't what's expected, the reply is discarded and the Error is set to IO_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT.
- Received signals that have a type signature mismatch are dropped and a warning is logged via Glib::warning().
- Properties received via the initial `GetAll()` call or via the `::PropertiesChanged` signal (on the org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties interface) or set using g_dbus_proxy_set_cached_property() with a type signature mismatch are ignored and a warning is logged via Glib::warning().

Note that these checks are never done on methods, signals and properties that are not referenced in the given DBusInterfaceInfo, since extending a D-Bus interface on the service-side is not considered an ABI break.

void Gio::DBus::Proxy::set_cached_property | ( | const Glib::ustring& | property_name,
|  | const Glib::VariantBase& | value
| ) |  |

If value is not `nullptr`, sets the cached value for the property with name property_name to the value in value.

If value is `nullptr`, then the cached value is removed from the property cache.

If proxy has an expected interface (see DBusProxy::property_g_interface_info()) and property_name is referenced by it, then value is checked against the type of the property.

If the value Variant is floating, it is consumed. This allows convenient 'inline' use of Glib::variant_new(), e.g.

[C example ellipted]

Normally you will not need to use this method since proxy is tracking changes using the `org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.PropertiesChanged` D-Bus signal. However, for performance reasons an object may decide to not use this signal for some properties and instead use a proprietary out-of-band mechanism to transmit changes.

As a concrete example, consider an object with a property `ChatroomParticipants` which is an array of strings. Instead of transmitting the same (long) array every time the property changes, it is more efficient to only transmit the delta using e.g. signals `ChatroomParticipantJoined(String name)` and `ChatroomParticipantParted(String name)`.

Since glibmm 2.26:

Parameters

  property_name | Property name.
  value | Value for the property or `nullptr` to remove it from the cache.

void Gio::DBus::Proxy::set_default_timeout | ( | int | timeout_msec = `-1` | ) |

Sets the timeout to use if -1 (specifying default timeout) is passed as timeout_msec in the g_dbus_proxy_call() and g_dbus_proxy_call_sync() functions.

See the DBusProxy::property_g_default_timeout() property for more details.

Since glibmm 2.26:

Parameters

  timeout_msec | Timeout in milliseconds.

void Gio::DBus::Proxy::set_interface_info | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< InterfaceInfo >& | info | ) |

Ensure that interactions with proxy conform to the given interface.

See the DBusProxy::property_g_interface_info() property for more details.

Since glibmm 2.26:

Parameters

  info | Minimum interface this proxy conforms to or `nullptr` to unset.

Glib::SignalProxy< void,const MapChangedProperties&,const std::vector<Glib::ustring>& > Gio::DBus::Proxy::signal_properties_changed | ( |  | ) |

Slot Prototype:
  `void on_my_properties_changed(const MapChangedProperties& changed_properties, const std::vector<Glib::ustring>& invalidated_properties)`

Emitted when one or more D-Bus properties on proxy changes. The local cache has already been updated when this signal fires. Note that both changed_properties and invalidated_properties are guaranteed to never be `nullptr` (either may be empty though).

If the proxy has the flag DBUS_PROXY_FLAGS_GET_INVALIDATED_PROPERTIES set, then invalidated_properties will always be empty.

This signal corresponds to the `PropertiesChanged` D-Bus signal on the `org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties` interface.

Since glibmm 2.26:

Parameters

  changed_properties | A Variant containing the properties that changed.
  invalidated_properties | A `nullptr` terminated array of properties that was invalidated.

Glib::SignalProxy< void,const Glib::ustring&,const Glib::ustring&,const Glib::VariantContainerBase& > Gio::DBus::Proxy::signal_signal | ( |  | ) |

Slot Prototype:
  `void on_my_signal(const Glib::ustring& sender_name, const Glib::ustring& signal_name, const Glib::VariantContainerBase& parameters)`

Emitted when a signal from the remote object and interface that proxy is for, has been received.

Since glibmm 2.26:

Parameters

  sender_name | The sender of the signal or `nullptr` if the connection is not a bus connection.
  signal_name | The name of the signal.
  parameters | A Variant tuple with parameters for the signal.
