## Detailed Description

Parsing addresses of D-Bus servers.

## Function Documentation

## ◆ dbus_address_entries_free()

DBUS_EXPORT void dbus_address_entries_free | ( | DBusAddressEntry ** | entries | ) |

Frees a NULL-terminated array of address entries.

Parameters

  entries | the array.

Definition at line 192 of file dbus-address.c.

References dbus_free(), and NULL.

## ◆ dbus_address_entry_get_method()

DBUS_EXPORT const char * dbus_address_entry_get_method | ( | DBusAddressEntry * | entry | ) |

Returns the method string of an address entry.

For example, given the address entry "tcp:host=example.com" it would return the string "tcp"

Parameters

  entry | the entry.

Returns
  a string describing the method. This string must not be freed.

Definition at line 230 of file dbus-address.c.

## ◆ dbus_address_entry_get_value()

DBUS_EXPORT const char * dbus_address_entry_get_value | ( | DBusAddressEntry * | entry,
|  | const char * | key
| ) |  |

Returns a value from a key of an entry.

For example, given the address "tcp:host=example.com,port=8073" if you asked for the key "host" you would get the value "example.com"

The returned value is already unescaped.

Parameters

  entry | the entry.
  key | the key.

Returns
  the key value. This string must not be freed.

## ◆ dbus_address_escape_value()

DBUS_EXPORT char * dbus_address_escape_value | ( | const char * | value | ) |

Escapes the given string as a value in a key=value pair for a D-Bus address.

Parameters

  value | the unescaped value

Returns
  newly-allocated escaped value or NULL if no memory

Definition at line 586 of file dbus-address.c.

References _dbus_address_append_escaped(), _dbus_string_free(), _dbus_string_init(), _dbus_string_init_const(), _dbus_string_steal_data(), and NULL.

## ◆ dbus_address_unescape_value()

DBUS_EXPORT char * dbus_address_unescape_value | ( | const char * | value,
|  | DBusError * | error
| ) |  |

Unescapes the given string as a value in a key=value pair for a D-Bus address.

Note that dbus_address_entry_get_value() returns an already-unescaped value.

Parameters

  value | the escaped value
  error | error to set if the unescaping fails

Returns
  newly-allocated unescaped value or NULL if no memory

Definition at line 620 of file dbus-address.c.

References _dbus_string_init(), _dbus_string_init_const(), and NULL.

## ◆ dbus_parse_address()

DBUS_EXPORT dbus_bool_t dbus_parse_address | ( | const char * | address,
|  | DBusAddressEntry *** | entry_result,
|  | int * | array_len,
|  | DBusError * | error
| ) |  |

Parses an address string of the form:

method:key=value,key=value;method:key=value

See the D-Bus specification for complete docs on the format.

When connecting to an address, the first address entries in the semicolon-separated list should be tried first.

Parameters

  address | the address.
  entry_result | return location to an array of entries.
  array_len | return location for array length.
  error | address where an error can be returned.

Returns
  TRUE on success, FALSE otherwise.
