newForAddress

fun newForAddress(address: String, flags: DBusConnectionFlags, observer: DBusAuthObserver? = null, cancellable: Cancellable? = null, callback: AsyncReadyCallback)

Asynchronously connects and sets up a D-Bus client connection for exchanging D-Bus messages with an endpoint specified by @address which must be in the D-Bus address format.

This constructor can only be used to initiate client-side connections - use g_dbus_connection_new() if you need to act as the server. In particular, @flags cannot contain the %G_DBUS_CONNECTION_FLAGS_AUTHENTICATION_SERVER, %G_DBUS_CONNECTION_FLAGS_AUTHENTICATION_ALLOW_ANONYMOUS or %G_DBUS_CONNECTION_FLAGS_AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRE_SAME_USER flags.

When the operation is finished, @callback will be invoked. You can then call g_dbus_connection_new_for_address_finish() to get the result of the operation.

If @observer is not null it may be used to control the authentication process.

This is an asynchronous failable constructor. See g_dbus_connection_new_for_address_sync() for the synchronous version.
