Overview
A native Dart implementation of the D-Bus message bus client, enabling Dart applications to directly communicate with Linux desktop services. This package provides low-level access to D-Bus, allowing interaction with system and application services such as session management, hardware events, and desktop integration. It is designed for developers building desktop applications on Linux, with support for Windows and macOS through compatible D-Bus implementations. The library offers a clean, Dart-native API for sending and receiving messages over D-Bus.
