OBUS-DUMP(1)

✨ NAME ✨

obus-dump — bestie, it's literally a D-Bus message dumper 💅

Okay so this is obus-dump, part of the General Commands Manual (section 1, the cool section), and she's here to spy on your D-Bus traffic. Iconic behavior, no cap.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

obus-dump [ options ] command [ arguments ]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the vibe: obus-dump lets you run a command, and then it dumps all the messages that command tries to send through the session or system bus. 👑

Not me casually becoming the main character of your IPC debugging session. The way that it just watches everything your little program is yapping about on the bus… obsessed. 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -o output-file — uses output-file as the output file instead of stderr. Lowkey the glow-up your logs needed, fr fr. 💖
• -help or --help — display a short usage summary and exit. The "just tell me what to do" button, and honestly? Valid. ✨
