- OVERVIEW
- ========
-
- The udisks project provides
-
- o A storage daemon that implements well-defined D-Bus interfaces
- that can be used to query and manipulate storage devices.
-
- o a command-line tool, udisks(1), that can be used to query and
- use the daemon

- VERSIONING and ABI STABILITY
- ============================
-
- The udisks version number consists of three numbers separated by a .
-
- o Major number indicating the feature version
-
- o Minor number indicating the ABI for the current feature version
-
- o Sub number indicating ABI additions
-
- The ABI is guaranteed to be stable only when the major and minor
- number does not change. For example, an application expecting version
- 1.0.12 will work with any 1.0.x release (such as 1.0.99) as long as
- e.g. x >= 12.
-
- The udisks version number can be obtained at compile time using
- pkg-config(1):
-
- $ pkg-config --modversion udisks
- 1.0.0
-
- or any of the autoconf macros.
-
- At run-time, the udisks version number can be obtained by querying the
- DaemonVersion property (of type 's') on the org.freedesktop.UDisks
- interface on the object /org/freedesktop/UDisks owned by the
- well-known name org.freedesktop.UDisks on the D-Bus system message
- bus. This property is guaranteed to always exist and contain the
- version number no matter what the ABI version is:
-
- $ dbus-send --system \
- --print-reply \
- --dest=org.freedesktop.UDisks \
- /org/freedesktop/UDisks \
- org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get \
- string:org.freedesktop.UDisks \
- string:DaemonVersion
- method return sender=:1.172 -> dest=:1.186 reply_serial=2
- variant string "1.0.0"
