Feature request: support for variant maps in dbus-send

Submitted by Elizabeth Jones @ellyjones

Assigned to Havoc Pennington

Link to original bug (#43555)

Description

Created attachment 54159 Patch against dbus-1.4.12 to add this feature.

dbus-send(1) does not support nested containers at all. There is a common idiom of having a{sv} as the last argument of dbus API functions to support later extensions, but dbus-send(1) cannot call these functions. Therefore, add special-case support for a{sv}, which can be done without extending the dbus-send(1) syntax in a backward-incompatible way.

Patch attached.

Patch 54159, "Patch against dbus-1.4.12 to add this feature.":
dbus-1.4.12-send-variant-dict.patch

Version: 1.5
