<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<a name="qtdbus"></a><p>The QtDBus module is a Unix-only library that you can use to make Inter-Process Communication using the D-BUS protocol.</p>
<p>Applications using the QtDBus module can provide services to other, remote applications by exporting objects, as well as use services exported by those applications by placing calls and accessing properties.</p>
<p>The QtDBus module provides an interface that extends the Qt <a href="signalsandslots.html">Signals and Slots</a> mechanism, allowing one to connect to a signal emitted remotely as well as to connect a local signal to remote slot.</p>
<p>To use this module, use the following code in your application:</p>
<pre> #include <QtDBus></pre>
<p>If you're using qmake to build your application, you can add this line to your .pro file to make it link against the QtDBus libraries:</p>
<pre> CONFIG += qdbus</pre>
<p>See the <a href="intro-to-dbus.html">Introduction to D-BUS</a> page for detailed information on how to use this module.</p>
<p>This module is part of all <a href="editions.html">Qt editions</a>.</p>
