Can D-Bus be used over streams which aren’t Unix domain sockets?


I am using DBus in a project. I understand from DBus specification that for low level communication, it uses Unix domain sockets. I don't want to use Unix domain sockets for low level communication because I have a modified connect() call. Is there any other type of low level communication that DBus supports which does not use connect()? If yes then how to switch to that mode?


Solution

  • Judging from the D-Bus Tutorial, at the moment, D-Bus only supports sockets, which may be Unix-domain or TCP/IP.
