DBusConnection.sendMessageWithReply

Asynchronously sends message to the peer represented by connection.

Unless flags contain the gio.types.DBusSendMessageFlags.PreserveSerial flag, the serial number will be assigned by connection and set on message via gio.dbus_message.DBusMessage.setSerial. If out_serial is not null, then the serial number used will be written to this location prior to submitting the message to the underlying transport. While it has a volatile qualifier, this is a historical artifact and the argument passed to it should not be volatile.

If connection is closed then the operation will fail with gio.types.IOErrorEnum.Closed. If cancellable is canceled, the operation will fail with gio.types.IOErrorEnum.Cancelled. If message is not well-formed, the operation fails with gio.types.IOErrorEnum.InvalidArgument.

This is an asynchronous method. When the operation is finished, callback will be invoked in the [thread-default main context][g-main-context-push-thread-default] of the thread you are calling this method from. You can then call gio.dbus_connection.DBusConnection.sendMessageWithReplyFinish to get the result of the operation. See gio.dbus_connection.DBusConnection.sendMessageWithReplySync for the synchronous version.

Note that message must be unlocked, unless flags contain the gio.types.DBusSendMessageFlags.PreserveSerial flag.

See this server[gdbus-server] and client[gdbus-unix-fd-client] for an example of how to use this low-level API to send and receive UNIX file descriptors.
