+<para>The <command>dbus-monitor</command> command is used to monitor messages going
+through a D-Bus message bus.  See
+<ulink url='http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/'>http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/</ulink> for more information about
+the big picture.</para>
+
+
+<para>There are two well-known message buses: the systemwide message bus
+(installed on many systems as the "messagebus" service) and the
+per-user-login-session message bus (started each time a user logs in).
+The --system and --session options direct <command>dbus-monitor</command> to
+monitor the system or session buses respectively.  If neither is
+specified, <command>dbus-monitor</command> monitors the session bus.</para>
+
+
+<para><command>dbus-monitor</command> has two different output modes, the 'classic'-style
+monitoring mode and profiling mode. The profiling format is a compact
+format with a single line per message and microsecond-resolution timing
+information. The --profile and --monitor options select the profiling
+and monitoring output format respectively. If neither is specified,
+<command>dbus-monitor</command> uses the monitoring output format.</para>
+
+
+<para>In order to get <command>dbus-monitor</command> to see the messages you are interested
+in, you should specify a set of watch expressions as you would expect to
+be passed to the <emphasis remap='I'>dbus_bus_add_match</emphasis> function.</para>
+
+
+<para>The message bus configuration may keep <command>dbus-monitor</command> from seeing
+all messages, especially if you run the monitor as a non-root user.</para>
