Package: libdbus-1-3 Source: dbus Version: 1.16.2-2 Architecture: amd64 Maintainer: Utopia Maintenance Team Installed-Size: 445 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.38), libsystemd0 Recommends: dbus Section: libs Priority: optional Multi-Arch: same Homepage: https://dbus.freedesktop.org/ Description: simple interprocess messaging system (library) D-Bus is a message bus, used for sending messages between applications. Conceptually, it fits somewhere in between raw sockets and CORBA in terms of complexity. . D-Bus supports broadcast messages, asynchronous messages (thus decreasing latency), authentication, and more. It is designed to be low-overhead; messages are sent using a binary protocol, not using XML. D-Bus also supports a method call mapping for its messages, but it is not required; this makes using the system quite simple. . It comes with several bindings, including GLib, Python, Qt and Java. . The message bus daemon can be found in the dbus-daemon package.
