934 * @brief Message to be sent or received over a #DBusConnection.
936 * A DBusMessage is the most basic unit of communication over a
937 * DBusConnection. A DBusConnection represents a stream of messages
938 * received from a remote application, and a stream of messages
939 * sent to a remote application.
941 * A message has a message type, returned from
942 * dbus_message_get_type(). This indicates whether the message is a
943 * method call, a reply to a method call, a signal, or an error reply.
945 * A message has header fields such as the sender, destination, method
946 * or signal name, and so forth. DBusMessage has accessor functions for
947 * these, such as dbus_message_get_member().
949 * Convenience functions dbus_message_is_method_call(), dbus_message_is_signal(),
950 * and dbus_message_is_error() check several header fields at once and are
951 * slightly more efficient than checking the header fields with individual
952 * accessor functions.
954 * Finally, a message has arguments. The number and types of arguments
955 * are in the message's signature header field (accessed with
956 * dbus_message_get_signature()). Simple argument values are usually
957 * retrieved with dbus_message_get_args() but more complex values such
958 * as structs may require the use of #DBusMessageIter.
960 * The D-Bus specification goes into some more detail about header fields and
967 * @typedef DBusMessage
969 * Opaque data type representing a message received from or to be
970 * sent to another application.
974 * Returns the serial of a message or 0 if none has been specified.
975 * The message's serial number is provided by the application sending
976 * the message and is used to identify replies to this message.
978 * All messages received on a connection will have a serial provided
979 * by the remote application.
981 * For messages you're sending, dbus_connection_send() will assign a
982 * serial and return it to you.

1617 * @warning in C, given "int array[]", "&array == array" (the
