dbus介绍与例子

本小妞迷上赌 提交于 2019-12-06 07:19:45

  D-bus是一个进程间通信的工具,优点不在这里赘述。


  网上很多关于dbus的帖子都是基于dbus-glib或者QT D-bus的,直接使用dbus的教程比较少。也难怪,因为连D-bus的官网都说:"If you use this low-level API directly, you're signing up for some pain."

  但实际上,直接使用D-bus也没有想象中难。本文将对直接使用D-bus做一个介绍。


本文参考了其他一些网站的帖子或者介绍

官网:http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus/

经典例子:http://www.matthew.ath.cx/articles/dbus

不错的帖子:http://blog.csdn.net/flowingflying/article/details/4527634


一、概念介绍

  这里虽然说是概念介绍,其实只是我个人对D-bus的一个理解,不一定完整准确。

 1.首先,D-bus可以分成三部分来看,

(1)dbus-daemon,一个dbus的后台守护程序,用于多个应用之间消息的转发;

(2)libdbus.so,dbus的功能接口,当你的程序需要使用dbus时,其实就是调用libdbus.so里面的接口;

(3)高层封装,如dbus-glib和QT D-bus,这些其实都对D-bus的再封装,让你使用起来更方便。

  从D-bus官网下载到源码,其实只包含上面所说的1和2两部分,libdbus.so里面的接口也就是官网说的low-level API。


2.关于address、bus name、path。。。。

  D-bus里面提到了一些概念,刚开始不太好理解,这些概念也很容易混淆。这些概念的权威解释可以看这里

  首先,运行一个dbus-daemon就是创建了一条通信的总线Bus。当一个application连接到这条Bus上面时,就产生了Connection。

  每个application里面会有不同的Object。这里Object的概念,可以简单地理解为C++里面一个类的实例。从D-bus的概念上说,通信双方是Object,不是application,一个application是可以包含很多个Object的。

  而一个Object里面又会有不同的Interface,这个Interface我把它理解为Object里面的一个类的成员。这些Interface其实是通信方式的集合。

  这里又牵扯出来一个通信方式,D-bus里面支持的通信方式有两种,一种叫signal,一种叫method。signal简单地讲,其实就是广播,就是一对多的通信方式,可以从app1向其他所有的app发消息,但其他的app是不会对signal进行回复的。method则是一对一的通信,一问一答。这种方式有点像远程调用,app1调用app2的method并传递参数给这个method,获取到这个method返回的结果。

  上面把D-bus通信里面的几个重要元素都介绍了一下,大概的关系是这样的:


  几个重要的元素之间的关系都画出来了,那么在程序里面怎么去标识这些元素呢?这里又提出来了一些名词address、bus name、path、Interface name。

(1)address是用来标识dbus-daemon的。当一个dbus-daemon运行以后,其他的app该怎么连接到这个dbus-daemon,靠的就是address。address的格式要求像这样:unix:path=/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket

(2)bus name是用来标识application的。当一个app1连接上dbus-daemon以后,相当于有了一个Connection,但其他的app2、app3怎么找到app1,靠的就是bus name。这个bus name标识了app1的Connection,也就相当于标识了app1。bus name由两种,一种是已冒号开头的唯一标识,像:34-907这样;另一种是通用的标识,是方便人看的,像com.mycompany.TextEditor

(3)path用于标识Object。当app1的Object1要跟app2的Object2通信时,Object1要和Object2通信时,就要告诉dbus-daemon,Object2的path。path的格式像这样,/com/mycompany/TextFileManager,已“/”开头。

(4)每个Interface都会有自己的名字,也就是interface name,我们通过这个interface name就可以找到这个interface。interface name像这样org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager

(5)Signal和Method也有自己的名字,这个名字没什么特别的格式要求,随便改个名字就可以了。

  官网上对这些标识列了一个表,如下:

A... is identified by a(n)... which looks like... and is chosen by...
Bus address unix:path=/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket system configuration
Connection bus name :34-907 (unique) or com.mycompany.TextEditor (well-known) D-Bus (unique) or the owning program (well-known)
Object path /com/mycompany/TextFileManager the owning program
Interface interface name org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager the owning program
Member member name ListNames the owning program

    {
        usage();
    }

    return 0;
}


三、运行

  想要运行上面的例子,还需要一些步骤。

(1)运行dbus-daemon

dbus-daemon的运行需要一个配置文件,这个配置文件稍微有点复杂,这里提供一个最简单的,无任何权限检查的例子debug-allow-all.conf

<!-- Bus that listens on a debug pipe and doesn't create any restrictions -->

<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"
 "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd">
<busconfig>
  <type>session</type>

  <listen>unix:tmpdir=/tmp</listen>

  <standard_session_servicedirs />

  <policy context="default">
    <!-- Allow everything to be sent -->
    <allow send_destination="*" eavesdrop="true"/>
    <!-- Allow everything to be received -->
    <allow eavesdrop="true"/>
    <!-- Allow anyone to own anything -->
    <allow own="*"/>
    <allow user="*"/>
  </policy>

</busconfig>
  

执行下面的命令

./dbus-daemon --config-file=/path/to/debug-allow-all.conf --fork --print-address
此时,dbus-daemon就会打印出一句类似这样的话

unix:path=/tmp/dbus-UXeqD3TJHE,guid=88e7712c8a5775ab4599725500000051

其实这个就是dbus-daemon的地址,我们需要把这个地址设置到环境变量里面,当你运行app的时候,libdbus.so就会读取这个环境变量,然后连接到这个dbus-daemon上。

设置环境变量

export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/tmp/dbus-UXeqD3TJHE,guid=88e7712c8a5775ab4599725500000051

(2)这个时候你就可以运行上面例子编译出来的程序

./dbus-app
此时,会打印出一些参数信息。这个例子程序其实既可收也可以发,

作为接收方时运行

./dbus-app receive &
可以运行多个dbus-app作为接收方,这样测试signal时就可以看到多个dbus-app同时受到这个signal了。

作为发送方时,发送signal


./dbus-app send SIGNAL STRING hello

作为发送方时,调用method

/dbus-app send METHOD INT32 30

  至此,一个dbus的例子就可以运行起来了,想详细了解这个例子需要自己去看例子的源码。
