## Functions

### g_dbus_interface_skeleton_flush ()

    void
    g_dbus_interface_skeleton_flush (GDBusInterfaceSkeleton *interface_);

If `interface_` has outstanding changes, request for these changes to be emitted immediately.

For example, an exported D-Bus interface may queue up property changes and emit the `org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties::PropertiesChanged` signal later (e.g. in an idle handler). This technique is useful for collapsing multiple property changes into one.

#### Parameters

interface_ | A GDBusInterfaceSkeleton. |

Since: 2.30

### g_dbus_interface_skeleton_get_info ()

    GDBusInterfaceInfo *
    g_dbus_interface_skeleton_get_info (GDBusInterfaceSkeleton *interface_);

Gets D-Bus introspection information for the D-Bus interface implemented by `interface_` .

#### Parameters

interface_ | A GDBusInterfaceSkeleton. |

#### Returns

A GDBusInterfaceInfo (never `NULL`). Do not free.

[transfer none]

Since: 2.30

### g_dbus_interface_skeleton_get_vtable ()

    GDBusInterfaceVTable *
    g_dbus_interface_skeleton_get_vtable (GDBusInterfaceSkeleton *interface_);

Gets the interface vtable for the D-Bus interface implemented by `interface_` . The returned function pointers should expect `interface_` itself to be passed as `user_data` .

[skip]

#### Parameters

interface_ | A GDBusInterfaceSkeleton. |

#### Returns

A GDBusInterfaceVTable (never `NULL`).

Since: 2.30

### g_dbus_interface_skeleton_get_properties ()

    GVariant *
    g_dbus_interface_skeleton_get_properties
                                   (GDBusInterfaceSkeleton *interface_);

Gets all D-Bus properties for `interface_` .

                                      GError **error);

Exports `interface_` at `object_path` on `connection` .

This can be called multiple times to export the same `interface_` onto multiple connections however the `object_path` provided must be the same for all connections.

### g_dbus_interface_skeleton_unexport ()

    void
    g_dbus_interface_skeleton_unexport (GDBusInterfaceSkeleton *interface_);

## Property Details

### The `“g-flags”` property

      “g-flags”                  GDBusInterfaceSkeletonFlags

Flags from the GDBusInterfaceSkeletonFlags enumeration.

Flags: Read / Write

Since: 2.30

## Signal Details

### The `“g-authorize-method”` signal

    gboolean
    user_function (GDBusInterfaceSkeleton *interface,
                   GDBusMethodInvocation  *invocation,
                   gpointer                user_data)

Emitted when a method is invoked by a remote caller and used to determine if the method call is authorized.

Note that this signal is emitted in a thread dedicated to handling the method call so handlers are allowed to perform blocking IO. This means that it is appropriate to call e.g. `polkit_authority_check_authorization_sync()` with the POLKIT_CHECK_AUTHORIZATION_FLAGS_ALLOW_USER_INTERACTION flag set.

If `FALSE` is returned then no further handlers are run and the signal handler must take a reference to `invocation` and finish handling the call (e.g. return an error via `g_dbus_method_invocation_return_error()`).

Otherwise, if `TRUE` is returned, signal emission continues. If no handlers return `FALSE`, then the method is dispatched. If `interface` has an enclosing GDBusObjectSkeleton, then the “authorize-method” signal handlers run before the handlers for this signal.

The default class handler just returns `TRUE`.

Please note that the common case is optimized: if no signals handlers are connected and the default class handler isn't overridden (for both `interface` and the enclosing GDBusObjectSkeleton, if any) and “g-flags” does not have the `G_DBUS_INTERFACE_SKELETON_FLAGS_HANDLE_METHOD_INVOCATIONS_IN_THREAD` flags set, no dedicated thread is ever used and the call will be handled in the same thread as the object that `interface` belongs to was exported in.

#### Parameters

interface | The GDBusInterfaceSkeleton emitting the signal. |
invocation | A GDBusMethodInvocation. |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if the call is authorized, `FALSE` otherwise.
