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

SYNOPSIS
       dbus-monitor [--system | --session]


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.


       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.)
