This patch adds methods for sending DBus messages to the class
RawDBusConnection. There are 3 types of interfaces.
- Send Sends a message over DBus. No error checking or
handling of replies is performed. These methods
do not block the sending thread.
- SendWithReply Sends a message over DBus and runs a call-back
function for the reply. This should be the default
case for most scenarios. These methods do not
block the sending thread.
- SendWithError Sends a message over DBus and waits for the reply
or an error. This interface has only been added for
some existing code that can safely block the sending
thread. Don't use it in new code.
These 3 types of interfaces represent what is currently used of the
existing send functions in DBusUtils. When all users have been converted
to the new methods, the interfaces in DBusUtils can be removed.
