category: System sdesc: "Freedesktop message bus system" ldesc: "D-BUS is a message bus system, a simple way for applications to talk to one another. D-BUS supplies both a system daemon (for events such as 'new hardware device added' or 'printer queue changed') and a per-login-session daemon (for general IPC needs among user applications). Also, the message bus is built on top of a general one-to-one message passing framework, which can be used by any two apps to communicate directly (without going through the message bus daemon)." homepage: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus
