dbus-monitor

dbus-monitor(1) 						   User Commands						   dbus-monitor(1)

NAME

       dbus-monitor - debug probe to print message bus messages

SYNOPSIS

       dbus-monitor [--system | --session] [--profile | --monitor] [watch_expressions]

DESCRIPTION

       The dbus-monitor command is used to monitor messages going through a D-Bus message bus.

       There are two standard message buses:

	 o  systemwide message bus - Disabled and not supported on Solaris, but installed on many systems as the "messagebus" init service.

	 o  per-user-login-session message bus - Enabled and supported on Solaris, and started each time a user logs in.

       The --system and --session options direct dbus-monitor to monitor the system or session buses respectively.  If neither is specified, dbus-
       monitor monitors the session bus.

       dbus-monitor has two different output modes, the 'classic'-style monitoring mode and profiling mode. The profiling format is a compact for-
       mat with a single line per message and microsecond-resolution timing information.  The --profile and --monitor options select the profiling
       and monitoring output format respectively.  If neither is specified, dbus-monitor uses the monitoring output format.

       The message bus configuration may keep dbus-monitor from seeing all messages, especially if you run the monitor as a non-root user.

       See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ for more information.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       --monitor

	   Use the monitoring output format (this is the default).

       --profile

	   Use the profiling output format.

       --session

	   Monitor the session message bus (this is the default).

       --system

	   Monitor the system message bus.  The system bus is disabled and unsupported on Solaris.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       watch_expressions       In order to display the messages you are interested in, you should specify a set of watch_expressions as you  would
			       expect to be passed to the dbus_bus_add_watch function.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Application exited successfully

       >0	Application exited with failure

FILES

       The following files are used by this application:

       /usr/bin/dbus-monitor	       Executable for dbus-monitor
