Hi all, I am in the process of considering using sd-bus to coordinate a
system-wide multicast messaging system between daemons. At this time I only
have resources to look into using libsystemd without system running. It seems
the sd-bus documentation is very sparse compared to sd-event - does this mean
sd-bus is more immature?
My initial goal is to be able to select() on dbus-signals. Unfortunately my
dbus experience is quite minimal, and I am not sure what this will take. Here
is my initial attempt adapted from Lennarts tutorial - I have no idea if this
is the right approach I was hoping if this list could perhaps provide some
guidance as I suspect I am doing a few things wrong.
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
sd_bus_slot *slot = NULL;
sd_bus *bus = NULL;
int r;
int fd;
fd_set rd_fdset;
int my_user_data;
/* Connect to the system bus this time */
r = sd_bus_open_system(&bus);
if (r < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Failed to connect to bus: %s\n", strerror(-r));
goto finish;
}
r = sd_bus_request_name(bus, "Test.Me", 0);
if (r < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Failed to acquire service name: %s\n",
strerror(-r));
goto finish;
}
r = sd_bus_add_match(
bus,
slot,
"type='signal',"
"sender='testsignal',"
"interface='Japan.Reset',"
"member='Test',"
"path='/Japan'",
my_signal_callback,
my_user_data);
fd = sd_bus_get_fd(bus);
if (fd < 0)
assert(0);
FD_ZERO(&rd_fdset);
FD_SET(fd, &rd_fdset);
for (;;) {
select(fd +1, &rd_fdset, NULL, NULL,NULL);
r = sd_bus_process(bus, NULL);
if (r < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Failed to process bus: %s\n",
strerror(-r));
goto finish;
}
}

It currently get errors about DBUs complaining that Test.Me was not provided in
any .service files when executing the above command. Any suggestion how to get
around that issue would be helpful. My initial attempt at copying:
http://kkaempf.blogspot.com/2009/03/d-bus-service-on-demand.html to create a
ini file was was unsuccessful. It seems busctl cannot send signals?

Brian
