storaged_client_settle ()

void
storaged_client_settle (StoragedClient *client);

Blocks until all pending D-Bus messages have been delivered. Also emits the (rate-limited) “changed” signal if changes are currently pending.

storaged_client_queue_changed ()

void
storaged_client_queue_changed (StoragedClient *client);

Queues up a “changed” signal and rate-limit it. See the documentation for the “changed” property for more information.

The “manager” property

  “manager”                  StoragedManager *

The “changed” signal

void
user_function (StoragedClient *client,
               gpointer        user_data)

This signal is emitted either when an object or interface is added or removed a when property has changed. Additionally, multiple received signals are coalesced into a single signal that is rate-limited to fire at most every 100ms.

Note that calling storaged_client_settle() will cause this signal to fire if any changes are outstanding.

For greater detail, connect to the “object-added”, “object-removed”, “interface-added”, “interface-removed”, “interface-proxy-properties-changed” and signals on the “object-manager” object.

Flags: Run Last
