// This file provides a way to call D-Bus methods on objects in remote processes
// as if they were native C++ function calls.

// CallMethodAndBlock (along with CallMethodAndBlockWithTimeout) lets you call
// a D-Bus method synchronously and pass all the required parameters as C++
// function arguments. CallMethodAndBlock relies on automatic C++ to D-Bus data
// serialization implemented in brillo/dbus/data_serialization.h.
// CallMethodAndBlock invokes the D-Bus method and returns the Response.

// The method call response should be parsed with ExtractMethodCallResults().
// The method takes an optional list of pointers to the expected return values
// of the D-Bus method.

// CallMethod and CallMethodWithTimeout are similar to CallMethodAndBlock but
// make the calls asynchronously. They take two callbacks: one for successful
// method invocation and the second is for error conditions.

// Here is an example of synchronous calls:
// Call "std::string MyInterface::MyMethod(int, double)" over D-Bus:

//  using brillo::dbus_utils::CallMethodAndBlock;
//  using brillo::dbus_utils::ExtractMethodCallResults;
//
//  brillo::ErrorPtr error;
//  auto resp = CallMethodAndBlock(obj,
//                                 "org.chromium.MyService.MyInterface",
//                                 "MyMethod",
//                                 &error,
//                                 2, 8.7);
//  std::string return_value;
//  if (resp && ExtractMethodCallResults(resp.get(), &error, &return_value)) {
//    // Use the |return_value|.
//  } else {
//    // An error occurred. Use |error| to get details.
//  }

// And here is how to call D-Bus methods asynchronously:
// Call "std::string MyInterface::MyMethod(int, double)" over D-Bus:

//  using brillo::dbus_utils::CallMethod;
//  using brillo::dbus_utils::ExtractMethodCallResults;
//
//  void OnSuccess(const std::string& return_value) {
//    // Use the |return_value|.
//  }
//
//  void OnError(brillo::Error* error) {
//    // An error occurred. Use |error| to get details.
//  }
//
//  brillo::dbus_utils::CallMethod(obj,
//                                   "org.chromium.MyService.MyInterface",
//                                   "MyMethod",
//                                   base::Bind(OnSuccess),
//                                   base::Bind(OnError),
//                                   2, 8.7);
