NAME

       Net::DBus::Binding::Bus - Handle to a well-known message bus instance

SYNOPSIS

	 use Net::DBus::Binding::Bus;

	 # Get a handle to the system bus
	 my $bus = Net::DBus::Binding::Bus->new(type => &Net::DBus::Binding::Bus::SYSTEM);

DESCRIPTION

       This is a specialization of the Net::DBus::Binding::Connection module providing convenience constructor for connecting to one of the well-
       known bus types. There is no reason to use this module directly, instead get a handle to the bus with the "session" or "system" methods in
       Net::DBus.

METHODS

       my $bus = Net::DBus::Binding::Bus->new(type => $type);
       my $bus = Net::DBus::Binding::Bus->new(address => $addr);
	   Open a connection to a message bus, either a well known bus type specified using the "type" parameter, or an arbitrary bus specified
	   using the "address" parameter. If the "private" parameter is set to a true value, then a private connection to the bus is obtained.
	   The caller must explicitly disconnect this bus instance before releasing the last instance of the object.

       $bus->request_name($service_name)
	   Send a request to the bus registering the well known name specified in the $service_name parameter. If another client already owns the
	   name, registration will be queued up, pending the exit of the other client.

       my $name = $bus->get_unique_name
	   Returns the unique name by which this processes' connection to the bus is known. Unique names are never re-used for the entire lifetime
	   of the bus daemon.

       $bus->add_match($rule)
	   Register a signal match rule with the bus controller, allowing matching broadcast signals to routed to this client.

       $bus->remove_match($rule)
	   Unregister a signal match rule with the bus controller, preventing further broadcast signals being routed to this client
