NAME

Net::DBus::Binding::Message - Base class for messages

SYNOPSIS

Sending a message

  my $msg = new Net::DBus::Binding::Message::Signal;
  my $iterator = $msg->iterator;

  $iterator->append_byte(132);
  $iterator->append_int32(14241);

  $connection->send($msg);

DESCRIPTION

Provides a base class for the different kinds of message that can be sent/received. Instances of this class are never instantiated directly, rather one of the four sub-types Net::DBus::Binding::Message::Signal, Net::DBus::Binding::Message::MethodCall, Net::DBus::Binding::Message::MethodReturn, Net::DBus::Binding::Message::Error should be used.

METHODS

my $iterator = $msg->iterator;

Retrieves an iterator which can be used for reading or writing fields of the message. The returned object is an instance of the Net::DBus::Binding::Iterator class.
