      5 // This file provides a way to call D-Bus methods on objects in remote processes
      6 // as if they were native C++ function calls.
      7 
      8 // CallMethodAndBlock (along with CallMethodAndBlockWithTimeout) lets you call
      9 // a D-Bus method synchronously and pass all the required parameters as C++
     10 // function arguments. CallMethodAndBlock relies on automatic C++ to D-Bus data
     11 // serialization implemented in brillo/dbus/data_serialization.h.
     12 // CallMethodAndBlock invokes the D-Bus method and returns the Response.
     13 
     14 // The method call response should be parsed with ExtractMethodCallResults().
     15 // The method takes an optional list of pointers to the expected return values
     16 // of the D-Bus method.
     17 
     18 // CallMethod and CallMethodWithTimeout are similar to CallMethodAndBlock but
     19 // make the calls asynchronously. They take two callbacks: one for successful
     20 // method invocation and the second is for error conditions.
     21 
     22 // Here is an example of synchronous calls:
     23 // Call "std::string MyInterface::MyMethod(int, double)" over D-Bus:
     24 
     25 //  using brillo::dbus_utils::CallMethodAndBlock;
     26 //  using brillo::dbus_utils::ExtractMethodCallResults;
     27 //
     28 //  brillo::ErrorPtr error;
     29 //  auto resp = CallMethodAndBlock(obj,
     30 //                                 "org.chromium.MyService.MyInterface",
     31 //                                 "MyMethod",
     32 //                                 &error,
     33 //                                 2, 8.7);
     34 //  std::string return_value;
     35 //  if (resp && ExtractMethodCallResults(resp.get(), &error, &return_value)) {
     36 //    // Use the |return_value|.
     37 //  } else {
     38 //    // An error occurred. Use |error| to get details.
     39 //  }
     40 
     41 // And here is how to call D-Bus methods asynchronously:
     42 // Call "std::string MyInterface::MyMethod(int, double)" over D-Bus:
     43 
     44 //  using brillo::dbus_utils::CallMethod;
     45 //  using brillo::dbus_utils::ExtractMethodCallResults;
     46 //
     47 //  void OnSuccess(const std::string& return_value) {
     48 //    // Use the |return_value|.
     49 //  }
     50 //
     51 //  void OnError(brillo::Error* error) {
     52 //    // An error occurred. Use |error| to get details.
     53 //  }
