SYNOPSIS
dbus-daemon [options]
DESCRIPTION
dbus-daemon is the D-Bus message bus daemon that enables inter-process communication between applications. It routes messages between connected programs using the D-Bus protocol.
Two main bus types exist: the session bus (per-user) for desktop applications, and the system bus (systemwide) for system services.
PARAMETERS
--config-file file

Listen address override--print-pid
Print PID to stdout--print-address
Print address to stdout--syslog
Force syslog logging--fork

CAVEATS
Usually started automatically by systemd or session managers. Direct invocation is rarely needed. System bus requires root privileges. Configuration affects security and available services.
