DBUS-MONITOR(1)			 User Commands		       DBUS-MONITOR(1)

NAME
       dbus-monitor - debug probe to print message bus messages

SYNOPSIS
       dbus-monitor [--system | --session | --address ADDRESS] [--profile |
		    --monitor] [watch expressions]

DESCRIPTION
       The dbus-monitor command is used to monitor messages going through a
       D-Bus message bus. See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ for
       more information about the big picture.

       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 dbus-monitor to monitor the
       system or session buses respectively. If neither is specified,
       dbus-monitor monitors the session bus.

       dbus-monitor 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,
       dbus-monitor uses the monitoring output format.

       In order to get dbus-monitor 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 dbus_bus_add_match function.

       The message bus configuration may keep dbus-monitor from seeing all
       messages, especially if you run the monitor as a non-root user.

OPTIONS
       --system
	   Monitor the system message bus.

       --session
	   Monitor the session message bus. (This is the default.)

       --address ADDRESS
	   Monitor an arbitrary message bus given at ADDRESS.

       --profile
	   Use the profiling output format.

       --monitor
	   Use the monitoring output format. (This is the default.)

EXAMPLE
       Here is an example of using dbus-monitor to watch for the gnome typing
       monitor to say things

	     dbus-monitor "type='signal',sender='org.gnome.TypingMonitor',interface='org.gnome.TypingMonitor'"

AUTHOR
       dbus-monitor was written by Philip Blundell. The profiling output mode
       was added by Olli Salli.
