vala-dbus-binding-tool - Create GObject interfaces from DBus introspection files
vala-dbus-binding-tool [--api-path=PATH] [--no-synced] [--dbus-timeout=TIMEOUT] [--directory=DIR] [--strip-namespace=NS]* [--rename-namespace=OLD_NS:NEW_NS]*
This package automates the creation of GObject interfaces out of DBus XML specifications. Given a well-formatted .xml introspection file, you get a corresponding .vala file that contains the GObject-interface.
Using autogenerated C-based GObject libraries you can rely on the DBus signatures and types to match – no more handconstructing the method calls.
vala-dbus-binding-tools creates both synchronous and asynchronous variants of your interfaces. The asynchronous interfaces will contain the suffix Async.
--help, -h
Show a brief help text.
--version
Print the current version of this command.
-v
Increase output verbosity.
--api-path, -p
Where the DBus XML specification files can be found.
--directory, -d
Where the output files should be placed.
--strip-namespace
Whether you want to strip a namespace prefix. Can be given multiple times.
--rename-namespace
When you want to rename a namespace. Can be given multiple times.
--dbus-timeout
The DBus timeout (in seconds) for asynchronous calls.
--no-synced
Only create asynchronous interfaces.
Create interfaces for the freesmartphone.org DBus specifications that have been installed at /usr/local/share/freesmartphone/xml:
vala-dbus-binding-tool --api-path=/usr/local/share/freesmartphone/xml --directory=../src --strip-namespace=org --rename-namespace=freedesktop:FreeDesktop --rename-namespace=freesmartphone:FreeSmartphone
