Net::DB...dingCall(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, you're reading Net::DBus::Binding::PendingCall(3) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation — manual name folded in like a lil name tag 🎀 — and it is literally a handler for pending method replies 💖.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the whole vibe is: make the call, wait for it, grab the reply 💅

my $call = Net::DBus::Binding::PendingCall->new(method_call => $call,
                                                pending_call => $reply);

# Wait for completion
$call->block;

# And get the reply message
my $msg = $call->get_reply;

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This object is used when it is necessary to make asynchronous method calls ✨. It provides the means to be notified when the reply is finally received. no cap, that's the whole point 🫶.

💅 METHODS 💅

new — constructor

my $call = Net::DBus::Binding::PendingCall->new(method_call =>
$method_call, pending_call => $pending_call);

Creates a new pending call object 💖. The method_call parameter is a reference to the Net::DBus::Binding::Message::MethodCall object whose reply is being waited for. The pending_call parameter is a reference to the raw C pending call object 🧚.

• $call->cancel — Cancel the pending call, causing any reply that is later received to be discarded. bye-bye reply 👋💀.
• my $boolean = $call->get_completed — Returns a true value if the pending call has received its reply, or a timeout has occurred. so you can check the vibe ✅.
• $call->block — Block the caller until the reply is received or a timeout occurs. yes bestie, it will sit there and wait 🫠.
• my $msg = $call->get_reply; — Retrieves the Net::DBus::Binding::Message object associated with the complete call. that's the message, bestie 📨.
• $call->set_notify($coderef); — Sets a notification function to be invoked when the pending call completes. The callback will be passed a single argument which is this pending call object 🎀.
