See -http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ for more information about -the big picture. - -.PP -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 \fIdbus\-monitor\fP to -monitor the system or session buses respectively. If neither is -specified, \fIdbus\-monitor\fP monitors the session bus. - -.PP -\fIdbus\-monitor\fP 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, -\fIdbus\-monitor\fP uses the monitoring output format. - -.PP -In order to get \fIdbus\-monitor\fP 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 \fIdbus_bus_add_match\fP function. - -.PP -The message bus configuration may keep \fIdbus\-monitor\fP from seeing -all messages, especially if you run the monitor as a non\-root user. - -.SH OPTIONS -.TP -.I "\-\-system" -Monitor the system message bus. -.TP -.I "\-\-session" -Monitor the session message bus.
