+The focus of this document is an overview of the low-level, native kernel D-Bus +transport called kdbus. Kdbus exposes its functionality via files in a +filesystem called 'kdbusfs'. All communication between processes takes place +via ioctls on files exposed through the mount point of a kdbusfs. The default +mount point of kdbusfs is /sys/fs/kdbus.
Does this mean the bus does not enforce the correctness of the D-Bus introspection metadata? That's really unfortunate. Classic D-Bus does not do this, either, and combined with the variety of approaches used to implement D-Bus endpoints, it makes it really difficult to figure out what D-Bus services, exactly, a process provides.
