qdbus: List methods, signals and properties available on a specific object.

qdbus

$ qdbus ${service_name} ${-path-to-object}

try on your machine

The command you provided makes use of the "qdbus" tool, which is a command-line interface to interact with D-Bus. D-Bus is a message bus system that allows applications running on the same machine to communicate with each other.

The command has the following structure: qdbus ${service_name} ${-path-to-object}

${service_name}: This refers to the name of the D-Bus service that is running on your system. Services are identified by a unique name and provide specific functionality. For example, "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager" is the service responsible for managing network connections in a Linux system.
${-path-to-object}: This specifies the object path within the service that you want to interact with. Objects in D-Bus represent interfaces that provide certain functionality. For example, for the NetworkManager service, you may have an object path like "/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Settings" representing the settings interface.

When you run the command, it communicates with the specified service using D-Bus and performs certain operations or retrieves information based on the object path.

Note that the actual functionality of the command and the available object paths depend on the specific service you are interacting with.
