7 dbus-monitor \- debug probe to print message bus messages
14 The \fIdbus-monitor\fP command is used to monitor messages going
15 through a D-BUS message bus. See
16 http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ for more information about
20 There are two well-known message buses: the systemwide message bus
21 (installed on many systems as the "messagebus" service) and the
22 per-user-login-session message bus (started each time a user logs in).
23 Right now, \fIdbus-monitor\fP is hardcoded to only work with the
24 systemwide message bus. It should really be extended to have a
25 \-\-session command line option as with \fIdbus-send\fP.
28 The message bus configuration may keep \fIdbus-monitor\fP from seeing
29 all messages, especially if you run the monitor as a non-root user.
32 No options are currently supported.
