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.)
