Net::DBus::Annotation - annotations for changing behaviour of APIs
use Net::DBus::Annotation qw(:call); my $object = $service->get_object("/org/example/systemMonitor"); # Block until processes are listed my $processes = $object->list_processes("someuser"); # Just throw away list of processes, pretty pointless # in this example, but useful if the method doesnt have # a return value $object->list_processes(dbus_call_noreply, "someuser"); # List processes & get on with other work until # the list is returned. my $asyncreply = $object->list_processes(dbus_call_async, "someuser"); ... some time later... my $processes = $asyncreply->get_data; # List processes, with a shorter 10 second timeout, instead of # the default 60 seconds my $object->list_processes(dbus_call_timeout, 10 * 1000, "someuser");
This module provides a number of annotations which will be useful when dealing with the DBus APIs. There are annotations for switching remote calls between sync, async and no-reply mode. More annotations may be added over time.
Requests that a method call be performed synchronously, waiting for the reply or error return to be received before continuing.
Requests that a method call be performed a-synchronously, returning a pending call object, which will collect the reply when it eventually arrives.
Requests that a method call be performed a-synchronously, discarding any possible reply or error message.
Indicates that the next parameter for the method call will specify the time to wait for a reply in milliseconds. If omitted, then the default timeout for the object will be used
