From a2012854f511c31504c52e9c90669c09ea5eb572 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lennart Poettering Date: Thu, 3 Feb 2022 15:57:00 +0100 Subject: man: systemd-stdio-bridge doesn't connect "two busses" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit In D-Bus, clients connect to a bus (the usual case), or use direct questions to each other (the unusual case). A bus is a program one can connect to and implemented by dbus-daemon or dbus-broker. HOwever, busses never connect between each other, that doesn't exist. Hence don't claim so. This is probably confusion about the fact that sd-bus calls D-Bus connection objects just "sd_bus" for simplicity, given they are used in 99% of the cases to connect to a bus — only in exceptional cases they are used for direct connections between peers without involving a bus.
