This means only valid UTF-8 can be used. Environment variables are normally ascii, but in theory have no specific encoding to them. This means that certain valid environment variables can't be sent to the bus for updating its activation environment. This commit just adds a note to the spec explaining this restriction. --- diff --git a/doc/dbus-specification.xml b/doc/dbus-specification.xml index 71574c0..250f6b8 100644 --- a/doc/dbus-specification.xml +++ b/doc/dbus-specification.xml @@ -3992,6 +3992,9 @@ Some bus instances, such as the standard system bus, may disable access to this method for some or all callers. + + Note, both the environment variable names and values must be valid UTF-8.
