This GUID + would be in the address from dbus_server_get_address(). On + connection to a server, the GUID would be provided as the first + thing in the auth protocol, and verified vs. the expected GUID if a + GUID was in the address used to connect. A hash from GUID to + connection would be kept, so attempts to connect to a GUID already + in the hash would return a shared existing connection. + + The purpose of all this is to allow a dbus_g_proxy_to_string() that + would convert the proxy to an "IOR" and dbus_g_proxy_from_string() + that would decode; using these, dbus-glib users could avoid + DBusConnection entirely. Of course the same applies to other kinds + of binding. + Important for 1.0 GLib Bindings === -- cgit
