Getting started with D-Bus using C++ and systemd


I'm trying to get up & running with systemd dbus on my Linux desktop machine. What is a good place to start ? Is there an exhaustive documentation of systemd dbus API ? My first goal is to enable simple communication between two processes I created.

I am aware of: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/dbus/

Your dbus implementation is likely to be heavily influenced by the Linux distribution you're using so without that information it's probably not productive to speculate.
Here's one thing you can try, open a terminal, make sure your in a bash shell ("echo $SHELL" normally answers that question), if your not, just type in "/bin/bash " and hit enter, you'll probably see the prompt switch over, if your unsure, try the "echo $SHELL" again.
Once you're in a bash shell, just type in dbus and hit tab ( a couple of times, real hard is my favored protocol).
You'll see all the distro specific tools relating to dbus laid out as command options.
Start working your way through the list typing in "man <first option>", read the manual page. Then "man <second option>" read the manual page.
In the manual pages (often near the bottom of the page) you will normally see references to the underlying libraries or atomic system calls. That's always been a productive place to start for me.
