28 * SECTION:gremoteactiongroup
29 * @title: GRemoteActionGroup
30 * @short_description: A GActionGroup that interacts with other processes
31 * @include: gio/gio.h
33 * The GRemoteActionGroup interface is implemented by #GActionGroup
34 * instances that either transmit action invocations to other processes
35 * or receive action invocations in the local process from other
36 * processes.
38 * The interface has `_full` variants of the two
39 * methods on #GActionGroup used to activate actions:
40 * g_action_group_activate_action() and
41 * g_action_group_change_action_state(). These variants allow a
42 * "platform data" #GVariant to be specified: a dictionary providing
43 * context for the action invocation (for example: timestamps, startup
44 * notification IDs, etc).
46 * #GDBusActionGroup implements #GRemoteActionGroup. This provides a
47 * mechanism to send platform data for action invocations over D-Bus.
49 * Additionally, g_dbus_connection_export_action_group() will check if
50 * the exported #GActionGroup implements #GRemoteActionGroup and use the
51 * `_full` variants of the calls if available. This
52 * provides a mechanism by which to receive platform data for action
53 * invocations that arrive by way of D-Bus.
55 * Since: 2.32
