Overview

Package dbus implements interaction between snappy and dbus.

Snappy creates dbus configuration files that describe how various services on the system bus can communicate with other peers.

Each configuration is an XML file containing <busconfig>...</busconfig>. Particular security snippets define whole <policy>...</policy> entires. This is explained in detail in https://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-daemon.1.html

NOTE: This interacts with systemd. TODO: Explain how this works (security).

Functions

func SafePath

func SafePath(s string) string

Types

type Backend

type Backend struct{}

Backend is responsible for maintaining DBus policy files.

Name returns the name of the backend.

func (*Backend) Remove

func (b *Backend) Remove(snapName string) error

Remove removes dbus configuration files of a given snap.

This method should be called after removing a snap.

func (*Backend) Setup
