+(installed on many systems as the "messagebus" service) and the
per-user-login-session message bus (started each time a user logs in).
The <option>--system</option> and <option>--session</option> options direct
<command>dbus-send</command> to send messages to the system or session buses respectively.
<para>The object path and the name of the message to send must always be
specified. Following arguments, if any, are the message contents
-(message arguments). These are given as type-specified values and
+(message arguments). These are given as type-specified values and
may include containers (arrays, dicts, and variants) as described below.</para>
