## Object Hierarchy

## Implemented Interfaces

GDBusObjectManagerServer implements GDBusObjectManager.

## Includes

    #include <gio/gio.h>

## Description

GDBusObjectManagerServer is used to export GDBusObject instances using the standardized org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager interface. For example, remote D-Bus clients can get all objects and properties in a single call. Additionally, any change in the object hierarchy is broadcast using signals. This means that D-Bus clients can keep caches up to date by only listening to D-Bus signals.

The recommended path to export an object manager at is the path form of the well-known name of a D-Bus service, or below. For example, if a D-Bus service is available at the well-known name `net.example.ExampleService1`, the object manager should typically be exported at `/net/example/ExampleService1`, or below (to allow for multiple object managers in a service).

It is not supported to export an object manager at the root path, `/`.

See GDBusObjectManagerClient for the client-side code that is intended to be used with GDBusObjectManagerServer or any D-Bus object implementing the org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager interface.

## Functions

### g_dbus_object_manager_server_new ()

    GDBusObjectManagerServer *
    g_dbus_object_manager_server_new (const gchar *object_path);

Creates a new GDBusObjectManagerServer object.

The returned server isn't yet exported on any connection. To do so, use `g_dbus_object_manager_server_set_connection()`. Normally you want to export all of your objects before doing so to avoid InterfacesAdded signals being emitted.

#### Parameters

object_path | The object path to export the manager object at, which should not be `/`. |

#### Returns

A GDBusObjectManagerServer object. Free with `g_object_unref()`.

Since: 2.30

### g_dbus_object_manager_server_get_connection ()

    GDBusConnection *
    g_dbus_object_manager_server_get_connection
                                   (GDBusObjectManagerServer *manager);

Gets the GDBusConnection used by `manager` .

#### Parameters

manager | A GDBusObjectManagerServer |

#### Returns

A GDBusConnection object or `NULL` if `manager` isn't exported on a connection. The returned object should be freed with `g_object_unref()`.

### g_dbus_object_manager_server_set_connection ()

    void
    g_dbus_object_manager_server_set_connection
                                   (GDBusObjectManagerServer *manager,
                                    GDBusConnection *connection);

Exports all objects managed by `manager` on `connection` . If `connection` is `NULL`, stops exporting objects.

#### Parameters

manager | A GDBusObjectManagerServer. |
connection | A GDBusConnection or `NULL`. | [allow-none]

### g_dbus_object_manager_server_export ()

    void
    g_dbus_object_manager_server_export (GDBusObjectManagerServer *manager,
                                         GDBusObjectSkeleton *object);

Exports `object` on `manager` .

If there is already a GDBusObject exported at the object path, then the old object is removed.

The object path for `object` must be in the hierarchy rooted by the object path for `manager` .

Note that `manager` will take a reference on `object` for as long as it is exported.

#### Parameters

manager | A GDBusObjectManagerServer. |
object | A GDBusObjectSkeleton. |

Since: 2.30

### g_dbus_object_manager_server_export_uniquely ()

    void
    g_dbus_object_manager_server_export_uniquely
                                   (GDBusObjectManagerServer *manager,
                                    GDBusObjectSkeleton *object);

Like `g_dbus_object_manager_server_export()` but appends a string of the form _N (with N being a natural number) to `object` 's object path if an object with the given path already exists. As such, the “g-object-path” property of `object` may be modified.

#### Parameters

manager | A GDBusObjectManagerServer. |
object | An object. |

Since: 2.30

### g_dbus_object_manager_server_is_exported ()

    gboolean
    g_dbus_object_manager_server_is_exported
                                   (GDBusObjectManagerServer *manager,
                                    GDBusObjectSkeleton *object);

Returns whether `object` is currently exported on `manager` .

#### Parameters

manager | A GDBusObjectManagerServer. |
object | An object. |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if `object` is exported

Since: 2.34

### g_dbus_object_manager_server_unexport ()

    gboolean
    g_dbus_object_manager_server_unexport (GDBusObjectManagerServer *manager,
                                           const gchar *object_path);

If `manager` has an object at `path` , removes the object. Otherwise does nothing.

Note that `object_path` must be in the hierarchy rooted by the object path for `manager` .

#### Parameters

manager | A GDBusObjectManagerServer. |
object_path | An object path. |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if object at `object_path` was removed, `FALSE` otherwise.

Since: 2.30

## Types and Values
