* @brief Functions for communicating with the message bus
*
* dbus_bus_get() allows all modules and libraries in a given
* process to share the same connection to the bus daemon by storing
* the connection globally.
*
* All other functions in this module are just convenience functions;
* most of them invoke methods on the bus daemon, by sending method
* call messages to #DBUS_SERVICE_DBUS. These convenience functions
* often make blocking method calls. If you don't want to block,
* you can send the method call messages manually in the same way
* you would any other method call message.
*
* This module is the only one in libdbus that's specific to
* communicating with the message bus daemon. The rest of the API can
* also be used for connecting to another application directly.
*
* @todo right now the default address of the system bus is hardcoded,
* so if you change it in the global config file suddenly you have to
* set DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS env variable. Might be nice if the
* client lib somehow read the config file, or if the bus on startup
* somehow wrote out its address to a well-known spot, but might also
* not be worth it.

/**
* Asks the bus to assign the given name to this connection by invoking
* the RequestName method on the bus. This method is fully documented
* in the D-Bus specification. For quick reference, the flags and
* result codes are discussed here, but the specification is the
* canonical version of this information.
*
* First you should know that for each bus name, the bus stores
* a queue of connections that would like to own it. Only
* one owns it at a time - called the primary owner. If the primary
* owner releases the name or disconnects, then the next owner in the
* queue atomically takes over.
*
* So for example if you have an application org.freedesktop.TextEditor
* and multiple instances of it can be run, you can have all of them
* sitting in the queue. The first one to start up will receive messages
* sent to org.freedesktop.TextEditor, but if that one exits another
* will become the primary owner and receive messages.
*
* The queue means you don't need to manually watch for the current owner to
* disappear and then request the name again.
*
* When requesting a name, you can specify several flags.
*
* #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT and #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_DO_NOT_QUEUE
* are properties stored by the bus for this connection with respect to
* each requested bus name. These properties are stored even if the
* connection is queued and does not become the primary owner.
* You can update these flags by calling RequestName again (even if
* you already own the name).
*
* #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT means that another requestor of the
* name can take it away from you by specifying #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING.
*
* #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_DO_NOT_QUEUE means that if you aren't the primary owner,
* you don't want to be queued up - you only care about being the
* primary owner.
*
* Unlike the other two flags, #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING is a property
* of the individual RequestName call, i.e. the bus does not persistently
* associate it with the connection-name pair. If a RequestName call includes
* the #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING flag, and the current primary
* owner has #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT set, then the current primary
* owner will be kicked off.
*
* If no flags are given, an application will receive the requested
* name only if the name is currently unowned; and it will NOT give
* up the name if another application asks to take it over using
* #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING.
*
* This function returns a result code. The possible result codes
* are as follows.
*
* #DBUS_REQUEST_NAME_REPLY_PRIMARY_OWNER means that the name had no
* existing owner, and the caller is now the primary owner; or that
* the name had an owner, and the caller specified
* #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING, and the current owner
* specified #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT.
*
* #DBUS_REQUEST_NAME_REPLY_IN_QUEUE happens only if the caller does NOT
* specify #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_DO_NOT_QUEUE and either the current owner
* did NOT specify #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT or the caller did NOT
* specify #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING. In this case the caller ends up
* in a queue to own the name after the current owner gives it up.
*
* #DBUS_REQUEST_NAME_REPLY_EXISTS happens if the name has an owner
* already and the caller specifies #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_DO_NOT_QUEUE
* and either the current owner has NOT specified
* #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT or the caller did NOT specify
* #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING.
*
* #DBUS_REQUEST_NAME_REPLY_ALREADY_OWNER happens if an application
* requests a name it already owns. (Re-requesting a name is useful if
* you want to change the #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT or
* #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_DO_NOT_QUEUE settings.)
*
* When a service represents an application, say "text editor," then
* it should specify #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT if it wants
* the last editor started to be the user's editor vs. the first one
* started. Then any editor that can be the user's editor should
* specify #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING to either take over
* (last-started-wins) or be queued up (first-started-wins) according
* to whether #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT was given.
*
* Conventionally, single-instance applications often offer a command
* line option called --replace which means to replace the current
* instance. To implement this, always set
* #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT when you request your
* application's bus name. When you lose ownership of your bus name,
* you need to exit. Look for the signal "NameLost" from
* #DBUS_SERVICE_DBUS and #DBUS_INTERFACE_DBUS (the signal's first
* argument is the bus name that was lost). If starting up without
* --replace, do not specify #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING, and
* exit if you fail to become the bus name owner. If --replace is
* given, ask to replace the old owner.
*
* @param connection the connection
* @param name the name to request
* @param flags flags
* @param error location to store the error
* @returns a result code, -1 if error is set

* Adds a match rule to match messages going through the message bus.
* The "rule" argument is the string form of a match rule.
*
* If you pass #NULL for the error, this function will not
* block; the match thus won't be added until you flush the
* connection, and if there's an error adding the match
* (only possible error is lack of resources in the bus),
* you won't find out about it.
*
* If you pass non-#NULL for the error this function will
* block until it gets a reply.
*
* Normal API conventions would have the function return
* a boolean value indicating whether the error was set,
* but that would require blocking always to determine
* the return value.
*
* The AddMatch method is fully documented in the D-Bus
* specification. For quick reference, the format of the
* match rules is discussed here, but the specification
* is the canonical version of this information.
*
* Rules are specified as a string of comma separated
* key/value pairs. An example is
* "type='signal',sender='org.freedesktop.DBus',
* interface='org.freedesktop.DBus',member='Foo',
* path='/bar/foo',destination=':452345.34'"
*
* Possible keys you can match on are type, sender,
* interface, member, path, destination and numbered
* keys to match message args (keys are 'arg0', 'arg1', etc.).
* Omitting a key from the rule indicates
* a wildcard match. For instance omitting
* the member from a match rule but adding a sender would
* let all messages from that sender through regardless of
* the member.
*
* Matches are inclusive not exclusive so as long as one
* rule matches the message will get through. It is important
* to note this because every time a message is received the
* application will be paged into memory to process it. This
* can cause performance problems such as draining batteries
* on embedded platforms.
*
* If you match message args ('arg0', 'arg1', and so forth)
* only string arguments will match. That is, arg0='5' means
* match the string "5" not the integer 5.
*
* Currently there is no way to match against non-string arguments.
*
* Matching on interface is tricky because method call
* messages only optionally specify the interface.
* If a message omits the interface, then it will NOT match
* if the rule specifies an interface name. This means match
* rules on method calls should not usually give an interface.
*
* However, signal messages are required to include the interface
* so when matching signals usually you should specify the interface
* in the match rule.
*
* For security reasons, you can match arguments only up to
* #DBUS_MAXIMUM_MATCH_RULE_ARG_NUMBER.
*
* Match rules have a maximum length of #DBUS_MAXIMUM_MATCH_RULE_LENGTH
* bytes.
*
* Both of these maximums are much higher than you're likely to need,
* they only exist because the D-Bus bus daemon has fixed limits on
* all resource usage.
