the introspection for you and list all possible “interfaces” and their members. All you have to do is click on a specific property/method/.. provide the input and get the required output.

Though, it should be noted that there has been some extensions made to<br>
the D-Bus interface without the documentation file getting updated and<br>
as such, this is not fully up-to-date.<br>
<br>
I have not been enforcing a requirement to update the doc/dbus.doxygen<br>
file for commits that modify the D-Bus interface, but maybe I should<br>
start doing that.. Anyway, patches to update the documentation to match<br>
with the current implementation (mainly, the new P2P mechanisms) would<br>
be very much appreciated.<br>
