NAME

       mdbus2 - Mickey's DBus introspection and interaction utility

SYNOPSIS

       mdbus2 [OPTIONS...] [ busname [ objectpath [ method [ params... ] ] ] ]

DESCRIPTION

       The mdbus2 command is used to explore and interact with DBus services on your system bus and session bus. Called without any parameters, it
       will show the available services on the selected bus. Given a service name, it will show the available objects  exported  by  the  service.
       Given a service name and an object path, it will show the exposed methods, signals, and properties of that object.

       There  are  two	well-known  message buses: the systemwide message bus (installed on many systems as the "messagebus" service) and the per-
       user-login-session message bus (started each time a user logs in).  The --system option directs mdbus2 to operate on the system bus  rather
       than the session bus.

       mdbus2  has  three  modes:  The	introspection mode, the listening mode (-l), and the interactive mode (-i).  The interactive mode features
       readline command completion and history.

       The message bus configuration may keep mdbus2 from seeing all messages, especially if you run it as a non-root user.

OPTIONS

       --show-anonymous
	      Include unique DBus names (:1.xyz) in the output.

       --show-pids
	      Include PIDs in the output. (Only valid in introspection mode)

       --listen
	      Start in listening mode.

       --system
	      Use the system bus rather than the session bus.

       --interactive
	      Start in interactive mode.

EXAMPLE

       Here is an example of using mdbus2 to listen to all signals on the session bus.

	 mdbus2 -s -l
