=head1 NAME

Net::DBus::Binding::Message - Base class for messages

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Sending a message

  my $msg = new Net::DBus::Binding::Message::Signal;
  my $iterator = $msg->iterator;

  $iterator->append_byte(132);
  $iterator->append_int32(14241);

  $connection->send($msg);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Provides a base class for the different kinds of
message that can be sent/received. Instances of
this class are never instantiated directly, rather
one of the four sub-types L<Net::DBus::Binding::Message::Signal>,
L<Net::DBus::Binding::Message::MethodCall>, L<Net::DBus::Binding::Message::MethodReturn>,
L<Net::DBus::Binding::Message::Error> should be used.

=head1 CONSTANTS

The following constants are defined in this module. They are
not exported into the caller's namespace & thus must be referenced
with their fully qualified package names

Constant representing the signature value associated with the
array data type.

=item TYPE_BOOLEAN

=item TYPE_INT16

signed 16 bit integer data type.

=item TYPE_INT32

object path data type.

=item TYPE_STRING

UTF-8 string data type.

signature data type.

=item TYPE_STRUCT

Constant representing the signature value associated with the
struct data type.

=item TYPE_UINT16

=item my $msg = Net::DBus::Binding::Message->new(message => $rawmessage);

Creates a new message object, initializing it with the underlying C
message object given by the C<message> object. This constructor is
intended for internal use only, instead refer to one of the four
sub-types for this class for specific message types

=item my $type = $msg->get_type

Retrieves the type code for this message. The returned value corresponds
to one of the four C<Net::DBus::Binding::Message::MESSAGE_TYPE_*> constants.

=cut

sub get_type {
    my $self = shift;

    return $self->{message}->dbus_message_get_type;
}

=item my $interface = $msg->get_interface

Retrieves the name of the interface targetted by this message, possibly
an empty string if there is no applicable interface for this message.

=cut

sub get_interface {
    my $self = shift;

    return $self->{message}->dbus_message_get_interface;
}

=item my $path = $msg->get_path

Retrieves the object path associated with the message, possibly an
empty string if there is no applicable object for this message.

=cut

sub get_path {
    my $self = shift;

    return $self->{message}->dbus_message_get_path;
}

=item my $name = $msg->get_destination

Retrieves the uniqe or well-known bus name for client intended to be
the recipient of the message. Possibly returns an empty string if
the message is being broadcast to all clients.

=cut

sub get_destination {
    my $self = shift;

    return $self->{message}->dbus_message_get_destination;
}

=item my $name = $msg->get_sender

Retireves the unique name of the client sending the message

=cut

sub get_sender {
    my $self = shift;

    return $self->{message}->dbus_message_get_sender;
}

=item my $serial = $msg->get_serial

Retrieves the unique serial number of this message. The number
is guarenteed unique for as long as the connection over which
the message was sent remains open. May return zero, if the message
is yet to be sent.

=cut

sub get_serial {
    my $self = shift;

    return $self->{message}->dbus_message_get_serial;
}

=item my $name = $msg->get_member

For method calls, retrieves the name of the method to be invoked,
while for signals, retrieves the name of the signal.

=cut

sub get_member {
    my $self = shift;

    return $self->{message}->dbus_message_get_member;
}

=item my $sig = $msg->get_signature

Retrieves a string representing the type signature of the values
packed into the body of the message.

=cut

sub get_signature {
    my $self = shift;

    return $self->{message}->dbus_message_get_signature;
}

=item $msg->set_sender($name)

Set the name of the client sending the message. The name must
be the unique name of the client.

=cut

sub set_sender {
    my $self = shift;
    $self->{message}->dbus_message_set_sender(@_);
}

=item $msg->set_destination($name)

Set the name of the intended recipient of the message. This is
typically used for signals to switch them from broadcast to
unicast.

=cut

sub set_destination {
    my $self = shift;
    $self->{message}->dbus_message_set_destination(@_);
}

=item my $iterator = $msg->iterator;

Retrieves an iterator which can be used for reading or
writing fields of the message. The returned object is
an instance of the C<Net::DBus::Binding::Iterator> class.

=cut

sub iterator {
    my $self = shift;
    my $append = @_ ? shift : 0;

=item $boolean = $msg->get_no_reply()

Gets the flag indicating whether the message is expecting
a reply to be sent.

=cut

sub get_no_reply {
    my $self = shift;

    return $self->{message}->dbus_message_get_no_reply;
}

=item $msg->set_no_reply($boolean)

Toggles the flag indicating whether the message is expecting
a reply to be sent. All method call messages expect a reply
by default. By toggling this flag the communication latency
is reduced by removing the need for the client to wait

=cut


sub set_no_reply {
    my $self = shift;
    my $flag = shift;

    $self->{message}->dbus_message_set_no_reply($flag);
}

=item my @values = $msg->get_args_list

De-marshall all the values in the body of the message, using the
message signature to identify data types. The values are returned
as a list.

=cut

sub get_args_list {
    my $self = shift;

    my @ret;
    my $iter = $self->iterator;
    if ($iter->get_arg_type() != &Net::DBus::Binding::Message::TYPE_INVALID) {
    do {
        push @ret, $iter->get();
    } while ($iter->next);
    }

    return @ret;
}

=item $msg->append_args_list(@values)

Append a set of values to the body of the message. Values will
be encoded as either a string, list or dictionary as appropriate
to their Perl data type. For more specific data typing needs,
the L<Net::DBus::Binding::Iterator> object should be used instead.

=cut

    my $self = shift;
    my @args = @_;

    my $iter = $self->iterator(1);
