DESCRIPTION

OVERVIEW
15       The D-Bus introspection format is an XML document describing the inter‐
16       faces  implemented  by  a  particular object, including the methods and
17       signals of that interface along with their arguments and the properties
18       of that interface.
19
20       A  single  document  describes a single object, represented by the root
21       <node> tag.  Interfaces implemented by that  object  are  specified  by
22       <interface> tags within it.  Methods, signals and properties defined by
23       the interface are described by <method>, <signal> and  <property>  tags
24       within  the interface.  Arguments to methods and signals are defined by
25       <arg> tags within them.   Names  and  other  values  are  specified  as
26       attributes to the tag.
27
28       Additional  properties  for  external tools or software may be given in
29       <annotation> tags.  These may appear within interfaces,  methods,  sig‐
30       nals,  properties  and  arguments.   nih-dbus-tool makes use of many of
31       these.  Note that argument annotations are an  nih-dbus-tool  extension
32       to the format.
33
34       nih-dbus-tool's  parser  is  reasonably  liberal,  to  allow for future
35       expansion  of  the  D-Bus  introspection  format.   Any  unknown   tag,
36       attribute  or  annotation, or any tag not in an expected location, will
37       be ignored with a warning.  However a missing root  node  tag,  missing
38       attributes,  illegal or invalid format values for defined attributes or
39       non well-formed XML will result in an error.
40
41       Character data and comments are not considered part of description, and
42       are not parsed.
