Hi Aleksander, > would someone please explain to me why does bluez support D-Bus? What > are the advantages by using dbus instead of simply linking and using the > bluez C library? a C library has no concept of privilege separation. Every client would have to be setuid-root since there are tasks that require root privileges. Without a suid-root client, we would need a message passing interface within hcid for these task. And guess what D-Bus is. Also D-Bus provides bindings for almost every language and the license for a Bluetooth client using D-Bus is no longer bound to the GPL. Besides that are multiple technical reasons why D-Bus is the right choice for a Bluetooth API.
