## Description

Various utility routines related to D-Bus.

## Details

### g_dbus_generate_guid ()

    gchar *             g_dbus_generate_guid                (void);

Generate a D-Bus GUID that can be used with e.g. `g_dbus_connection_new()`.

See the D-Bus specification regarding what strings are valid D-Bus GUID (for example, D-Bus GUIDs are not RFC-4122 compliant).

Returns : | A valid D-Bus GUID. Free with `g_free()`.

Since 2.26

### g_dbus_is_guid ()

    gboolean            g_dbus_is_guid                      (const gchar *string);

Checks if `string` is a D-Bus GUID.

See the D-Bus specification regarding what strings are valid D-Bus GUID (for example, D-Bus GUIDs are not RFC-4122 compliant).

`string` : | The string to check.
Returns : | `TRUE` if `string` is a guid, `FALSE` otherwise.

Since 2.26

### g_dbus_is_name ()

    gboolean            g_dbus_is_name                      (const gchar *string);

Checks if `string` is a valid D-Bus bus name (either unique or well-known).

`string` : | The string to check.
Returns : | `TRUE` if valid, `FALSE` otherwise.

Since 2.26

### g_dbus_is_unique_name ()

    gboolean            g_dbus_is_unique_name               (const gchar *string);

Checks if `string` is a valid D-Bus unique bus name.

`string` : | The string to check.
Returns : | `TRUE` if valid, `FALSE` otherwise.

Since 2.26

### g_dbus_is_member_name ()

    gboolean            g_dbus_is_member_name               (const gchar *string);

Checks if `string` is a valid D-Bus member (e.g. signal or method) name.

`string` : | The string to check.
Returns : | `TRUE` if valid, `FALSE` otherwise.

Since 2.26

### g_dbus_is_interface_name ()

    gboolean            g_dbus_is_interface_name            (const gchar *string);

Checks if `string` is a valid D-Bus interface name.

`string` : | The string to check.
Returns : | `TRUE` if valid, `FALSE` otherwise.

Since 2.26
