7 dbus-monitor \- debug probe to print message bus messages
11 [\-\-system | \-\-session]
15 The \fIdbus-monitor\fP command is used to monitor messages going
16 through a D-BUS message bus. See
17 http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ for more information about
21 There are two well-known message buses: the systemwide message bus
22 (installed on many systems as the "messagebus" service) and the
23 per-user-login-session message bus (started each time a user logs in).
24 The \-\-system and \-\-session options direct \fIdbus-monitor\fP to
25 monitor the system or session buses respectively. If neither is
26 specified, \fIdbus-monitor\fP monitors the session bus.
29 The message bus configuration may keep \fIdbus-monitor\fP from seeing
30 all messages, especially if you run the monitor as a non-root user.
35 Monitor the system message bus.
38 Monitor the session message bus. (This is the default.)
