#initialize(path) ⇒ Connection

Create a new connection to the bus for a given connect path. path format is described in the D-Bus specification: dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#addresses and is something like: “transport1:key1=value1,key2=value2;transport2:key1=value1,key2=value2” e.g. “unix:path=/tmp/dbus-test” or “tcp:host=localhost,port=2687”

#introspect(dest, path) ⇒ Object

This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

Issues a call to the org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable.Introspect method dest is the service and path the object path you want to introspect If a code block is given, the introspect call in asynchronous. If not data is returned

FIXME: link to ProxyObject data definition The returned object is a ProxyObject that has methods you can call to issue somme METHOD_CALL messages, and to setup to receive METHOD_RETURN
