Summary	D-Bus is a message bus system for interprocess communication (IPC)
Description	D-Bus is a message bus system, a simple way for applications to talk to one another. In addition to interprocess communication, D-Bus helps coordinate process lifecycle; it makes it simple and reliable to code a 'single instance' application or daemon, and to launch applications and daemons on demand when their services are needed. D-Bus supplies both a system daemon (for events such as 'new hardware device added' or 'printer queue changed') and a per-user-login-session daemon (for general IPC needs among user applications).
