NAME

6       Net::DBus::Annotation - annotations for changing behaviour of APIs
7

SYNOPSIS

9         use Net::DBus::Annotation qw(:call);
10
11         my $object = $service->get_object("/org/example/systemMonitor");
12
13         # Block until processes are listed
14         my $processes = $object->list_processes("someuser");
15
16         # Just throw away list of processes, pretty pointless
17         # in this example, but useful if the method doesn't have
18         # a return value
19         $object->list_processes(dbus_call_noreply, "someuser");
20
21         # List processes & get on with other work until
22         # the list is returned.
23         my $asyncreply = $object->list_processes(dbus_call_async, "someuser");
24
25         ... some time later...
26         my $processes = $asyncreply->get_data;
27
28
29         # List processes, with a shorter 10 second timeout, instead of
30         # the default 60 seconds
31         my $object->list_processes(dbus_call_timeout, 10 * 1000, "someuser");

DESCRIPTION

34       This module provides a number of annotations which will be useful when
35       dealing with the DBus APIs. There are annotations for switching remote
36       calls between sync, async and no-reply mode. More annotations may be
37       added over time.

METHODS

40       dbus_call_sync
41           Requests that a method call be performed synchronously, waiting for
42           the reply or error return to be received before continuing.
43
44       dbus_call_async
45           Requests that a method call be performed a-synchronously, returning
46           a pending call object, which will collect the reply when it
47           eventually arrives.
48
49       dbus_call_noreply
50           Requests that a method call be performed a-synchronously,
51           discarding any possible reply or error message.
52
53       dbus_call_timeout
54           Indicates that the next parameter for the method call will specify
55           the time to wait for a reply in milliseconds. If omitted, then the
56           default timeout for the object will be used
