SYNOPSIS
Creating a new server and accepting client connections
use Net::DBus::Binding::Server;
my $server = Net::DBus::Binding::Server->new(address => "unix:path=/path/to/socket");
$server->connection_callback(\&new_connection);
sub new_connection {
my $connection = shift;
.. work with new connection...
}
Managing the server and new connections in an event loop
my $reactor = Net::DBus::Binding::Reactor->new();
$reactor->manage($server);
$reactor->run();
sub new_connection {
my $connection = shift;
$reactor->manage($connection);
}
DESCRIPTION
A server for receiving connection from client programs. The methods defined on this module have a close correspondence to the dbus_server_XXX methods in the C API, so for further details on their behaviour, the C API documentation may be of use.METHODS
- my $server = Net::DBus::Binding::Server->new(address => "unix:path=/path/to/socket");
- Creates a new server binding it to the socket specified by the "address" parameter.
- $status = $server->is_connected();
- Returns zero if the server has been disconnected, otherwise a positive value is returned.
- $server->disconnect()
- Closes this server to the remote host. This method is called automatically during garbage collection (ie in the DESTROY method) if the programmer forgets to explicitly disconnect.
- $server->set_watch_callbacks(\&add_watch, \&remove_watch, \&toggle_watch);
- Register a set of callbacks for adding, removing & updating watches in the application's event loop. Each parameter should be a code reference, which on each invocation, will be supplied with two parameters, the server object and the watch object. If you are using a "Net::DBus::Binding::Reactor" object as the application event loop, then the 'manage' method on that object will call this on your behalf.
- $server->set_timeout_callbacks(\&add_timeout, \&remove_timeout, \&toggle_timeout);
- Register a set of callbacks for adding, removing & updating timeouts in the application's event loop. Each parameter should be a code reference, which on each invocation, will be supplied with two parameters, the server object and the timeout object. If you are using a "Net::DBus::Binding::Reactor" object as the application event loop, then the 'manage' method on that object will call this on your behalf.
- $server->set_connection_callback(\&handler)
- Registers the handler to use for dealing with new incoming connections from clients. The code reference will be invoked each time a new client connects and supplied with a single parameter which is the "Net::DBus::Binding::Connection" object representing the client.
