darling-dbuskit/Headers/DKNotificationCenter.h
Niels Grewe 6188a008b3 Finish support for posting notifications/signals to D-Bus.
This also changes the behaviour of DKPort: If a local receive
port is requested, we now cache it and always return the
same instance. This makes sense because the underlying 
DKEndpoint is shared anyways, and it fixes a bug where
multiple ports were exposing different parts of the object
graph without knowing about each other (this only became
apparent when the notification center class started looking
up the proxies and couldn't find them eventhough they were
properly exported).

Also contains some debugging and example improvements.

/**
* The DKNotificationCenter class allows Objective-C objects to watch for
* notifications from other D-Bus objects ('signals' in the D-Bus dialect) or to
* post notifications to D-Bus themselves. You can use this class just as you
* would use an NSNotificationCenter. Notification names will be mapped to
* signals as follows: If the introspection data for theD-Bus signal carries an
* <code>org.gnustep.openstep.notification</code> annotation ,the value of this
* annotation will be used as the name of the notification. Otherwise, the
* notification name will be
* <code>DKSignal_&lt;InterfaceName&gt;_&lt;SignalName&gt;</code>.
*
* Additionally, D-Bus provides a rather sophisticated matching mechanism to
* catch only signal emissions with a specific signature. This mechanism is
* available to applications through the
* -addObserver:selector:signal:interface:sender:destination: method and its
* more specific variants. Unfortunately, at this time, you need to specify
* identical match rules when removing the observer again.
*
* Every notification from D-Bus carries a reference to a proxy for the object
* emitting the signal and also guarantees that the following keys are present
* in the dictionary:
* <deflist>
* <term>member</term><desc>The name of the signal being emitted (e.g.
* "NameOwnerChanged"</desc>
* <term>interface</term><desc>The name of the interface to which the signal
* belongs. (e.g. "org.freedesktop.DBus").</desc>
* <term>sender</term><desc>The service emitting the signal (e.g.
* "org.freedesktop.DBus"). This will always be the unique name of the service,
* even if you registered the signal for another name.</desc>
* <term>path</term><desc>The path to the object emitting the signal (e.g
* "/org/freedesktop/DBus").</desc>
* <term>destination</term><desc>The intended receiver of the signal, might be
* empty if the signal was broadcast, which is usually the case.</desc>
* </deflist>
* Additionally the userInfo dictionary will contain keys for every argument
* specified in the signal, named "arg<em>N</em>". The dictionary might also
* contain further keys if <code>org.gnustep.openstep.notification.key</code>
* annotations were available.
