Overview

Represents a message sent over or received from another application over the bus.

A message has a type (DBusMessage#get_type) field indicating the nature of the message, and this can be used to decide which additional fields will contain useful data.

In addition, a message can have application-specific values added to it, these are called values or arguments. The order and type of the appended values define the message type signature (see DBusMessage#get_signature).

.new_error(request_message, error_name, error_message) ⇒ Object

Creates a new DBusMessage of type MESSAGE_TYPE_ERROR.

Messages of this type are sent when a request fails for some reason. The error name has to be in a valid D-BUS error name format, meaning it has to contain at least one period.
