;;; Commentary:

;; This package provides language bindings for the D-Bus API.  D-Bus
;; is a message bus system, a simple way for applications to talk to
;; one another.  See <http://dbus.freedesktop.org/> for details.

;; Low-level language bindings are implemented in src/dbusbind.c.

;;; Code:

(require 'xml)

(defconst dbus-service-dbus "org.freedesktop.DBus"
  "The bus name used to talk to the bus itself.")

(defconst dbus-path-dbus "/org/freedesktop/DBus"
  "The object path used to talk to the bus itself.")

(defconst dbus-interface-dbus "org.freedesktop.DBus"
  "The interface exported by the object with `dbus-service-dbus' and `dbus-path-dbus'.")

(defconst dbus-interface-introspectable "org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable"
  "The interface supported by introspectable objects.")
