description

qdbus provides an interface to Qt-based applications communicating over D-Bus. See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ for more information about the big picture.

By default qdbus will list all service names of services that are running and you can manipulate at the moment. You can also manipulate and run several types of methods for each dbus-enabled application.
servicename

the service to connect to (e.g., org.freedesktop.DBus)

path

the path to the object (e.g., /)

method

the method to call, with or without the interface

args

arguments to pass to the call

options

--system

connect to the system bus

--literal

print replies literally

example

Here is an example of using qdbus to list all status information about a service:
% qdbus org.ktorrent.ktorrent
