Ruby D-Bus provides an implementation of the D-Bus protocol such that the D-Bus system can be used in the Ruby programming language.
Ruby 1.8.7 or 1.9
gem install ruby-dbus
Ruby D-Bus currently supports the following features:
Connecting to local buses.
Accessing remote services, objects and interfaces.
Invoking methods on remote objects synchronously and asynchronously.
Catch signals on remote objects and handle them via callbacks.
Remote object introspection.
Walking object trees.
Creating services and registering them on the bus.
Exporting objects with interfaces on a bus for remote use.
Rubyish D-Bus object and interface syntax support that automatically allows for introspection.
Emitting signals on exported objects.
See some of the examples in the examples/ subdirectory of the tarball. Also, check out the included tutorial (in Markdown format) in doc/Tutorial.md or view it online on github.com/mvidner/ruby-dbus/blob/master/doc/Tutorial.md .
