D-Bus (short for "Desktop Bus"[4]) is a message-oriented middleware mechanism that allows communication between multiple processes running concurrently on the same machine.[5][6] D-Bus was developed as part of the freedesktop.org project, initiated by GNOME developer Havoc Pennington to standardize services provided by Linux desktop environments such as GNOME and KDE.[7][8][dead link]
The freedesktop.org project also developed a free and open-source software library called libdbus, as a reference implementation of the specification. This library should not be confused with D-Bus itself, as other implementations of the D-Bus specification also exist, such as GDBus (GNOME),[9] QtDBus (Qt/KDE),[10] dbus-java[11] and sd-bus (part of systemd).[12]

One of the most important developments to come out of the Linux desktop is the Desktop Bus (D-Bus), a message-passing system. D-Bus is important because it serves as an interprocess communication mechanism that allows desktop applications to talk to each other [...].
