dbus_call
Description:
public async Variant dbus_call (string object_path, string interface_name, string method_name, Variant? parameters, VariantType? reply_type, int timeout_msec, Cancellable? cancellable) throws Error
Call call on the current name owner with the specified arguments.
Most importantly, this invokes call with the client's MainContext, so that the response is always in order with other events D-Bus events. Of course, the call uses Task and will invoke the callback on the current get_thread_default.
This API is merely a convenient wrapper for call. You can also use call directly, with the same effect.
