nih-dbus-tool(1)					      General Commands Manual						  nih-dbus-tool(1)

NAME

       nih-dbus-tool - D-Bus binding code generator

SYNOPSIS

       nih-dbus-tool [OPTIONS]...  [-o FILE] [XMLFILE]
       nih-dbus-tool [OPTIONS]...  -o FILE --system|--session --dest=NAME OBJECT-PATH

DESCRIPTION

OVERVIEW

       The  D-Bus  introspection format is an XML document describing the interfaces implemented by a particular object, including the methods and
       signals of that interface along with their arguments and the properties of that interface.

       A single document describes a single object, represented by the root <node> tag.  Interfaces implemented by that object	are  specified	by
       <interface>  tags  within  it.  Methods, signals and properties defined by the interface are described by <method>, <signal> and <property>
       tags within the interface.  Arguments to methods and signals are defined by <arg> tags within them.  Names and other values  are  specified
       as attributes to the tag.

       Additional  properties for external tools or software may be given in <annotation> tags.  These may appear within interfaces, methods, sig-
       nals, properties and arguments.	nih-dbus-tool makes use of many of these.  Note that argument annotations are an  nih-dbus-tool  extension
       to the format.

       nih-dbus-tool's	parser is reasonably liberal, to allow for future expansion of the D-Bus introspection format.	Any unknown tag, attribute
       or annotation, or any tag not in an expected location, will be  ignored	with  a  warning.   However  a	missing  root  node  tag,  missing
       attributes, illegal or invalid format values for defined attributes or non well-formed XML will result in an error.

       Character data and comments are not considered part of description, and are not parsed.
