try on your machine
The command "busctl status ${select}" is a command-line instruction used to display the current status of D-Bus bus objects based on a specified selection criteria.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "busctl" is a command-line tool in Linux systems that allows interaction with the D-Bus message bus.
- "status" is a subcommand of "busctl" that is used to query and display information about the status of bus objects.
- "${select}" is a placeholder representing the selection criteria that you need to specify. It can be used to filter the objects based on various parameters such as service name, object path, interface, member, etc.
To use the command, you should replace "${select}" with the appropriate selection criteria. For example, if you want to display the status of all objects belonging to a specific service, you can replace "${select}" with the service name.
Once executed, the command will query the D-Bus message bus and provide information about the status of the selected bus objects, such as whether they are accessible, active, or inactive.
