NAME

       Net::DBus::Binding::Server - A server to accept incoming connections

SYNOPSIS

       Creating a new server and accepting client connections

	 use Net::DBus::Binding::Server;

	 my $server = Net::DBus::Binding::Server->new(address => "unix:path=/path/to/socket");

	 $server->connection_callback(&new_connection);

	 sub new_connection {
	     my $connection = shift;

	     .. work with new connection...
	 }

       Managing the server and new connections in an event loop

	 my $reactor = Net::DBus::Binding::Reactor->new();

	 $reactor->manage($server);
	 $reactor->run();

	 sub new_connection {
	     my $connection = shift;

	     $reactor->manage($connection);
	 }

DESCRIPTION

       A server for receiving connection from client programs.	The methods defined on this module have a close correspondance to the
       dbus_server_XXX methods in the C API, so for further details on their behaviour, the C API documentation may be of use.

METHODS

       my $server = Net::DBus::Binding::Server->new(address => "unix:path=/path/to/socket");
	   Creates a new server binding it to the socket specified by the "address" parameter.

       $status = $server->is_connected();
	   Returns zero if the server has been disconnected, otherwise a positive value is returned.

       $server->disconnect()
	   Closes this server to the remote host. This method is called automatically during garbage collection (ie in the DESTROY method) if the
	   programmer forgets to explicitly disconnect.

       $server->set_watch_callbacks(&add_watch, &remove_watch, &toggle_watch);
	   Register a set of callbacks for adding, removing & updating watches in the application's event loop. Each parameter should be a code
	   reference, which on each invocation, will be supplied with two parameters, the server object and the watch object. If you are using a
	   "Net::DBus::Binding::Reactor" object as the application event loop, then the 'manage' method on that object will call this on your
	   behalf.

       $server->set_timeout_callbacks(&add_timeout, &remove_timeout, &toggle_timeout);
	   Register a set of callbacks for adding, removing & updating timeouts in the application's event loop. Each parameter should be a code
	   reference, which on each invocation, will be supplied with two parameters, the server object and the timeout object. If you are using a
	   "Net::DBus::Binding::Reactor" object as the application event loop, then the 'manage' method on that object will call this on your
	   behalf.

       $server->set_connection_callback(&handler)
	   Registers the handler to use for dealing with new incoming connections from clients. The code reference will be invoked each time a new
	   client connects and supplied with a single parameter which is the "Net::DBus::Binding::Connection" object representing the client.
