+BlueZ D-Bus Mesh API description
+********************************
+
+Mesh Network Hierarchy
+======================
+Service		org.bluez.mesh1
+Interface	org.bluez.mesh1.Network
+Object path	/org/bluez/mesh1
+
+Methods:
+		uint64 Join(object provision_agent,
+							array{string} capabilities,
+							array{byte}[16] uuid,
+							array{string} oob_info,
+							uint32 uri_hash,
+							array{byte} composition)
+
+			This is the first method that an application has to call to become
+			a node on a mesh network.
+
+			The provision_agent parameter is the object that implements
+			org.bluez.mesh.ProvisionAgent interface.
+
+			The capabilities parameter is an array of strings with the following
+			allowed values:
+			"blink", "beep", "vibrate", "out-numeric", "out-alpha", "push",
+			"twist", "in-numeric", "in-alpha", "public-oob", "static-oob".
+
+			The uuid parameter is a 16-byte array that contains Device UUID.
+
+			The oob_info parameter is an array of strings with the following
+			allowed values:
+			"other", "uri", "machine-code-2d", "bar-code", "nfc", "number",
+			"string", "on-box", "in-box", "on-paper", "in-manual", "on-device"
+			The array can be empty if oob data is not available.
+
+			The uri_hash parameter is a 4-octet value that contains URI Hash
+			data that is gnnerated as described in Mesh Profile. If no URI is,
+			available, the passed in value shall be zero.
+
+			The composition parameter is a byte array whose layout
+			follows that of the composition data as defined by Mesh Profile
+			specification. The daemon implements Configuration Server model.
+			The composition data array may not include the Configuration Server
+			model id in which case the model id will be implicitly aded by the
+			daemon.
+
+			In case of success, the method returns a 64-bit token. The token
+			must be preserved by the application in order to authenticate itself
+			to the mesh daemon and attach to the network as a mesh node or
+			permanently remove the identity of the mesh node.
+
+			After the successful completion of this method, the application
+			should call Attach() method to obtain access to mesh network.
+			The meshd daemon retains persistent information about the node
+			identified by the token.
+
+			PossibleErrors:
+				org.bluez.mesh1.Error.Failed,
+				org.bluez.mesh1.Error.Canceled,
+				org.bluez.mesh1.Error.InvalidArguments
+				org.bluez.mesh1.Error.Timeout
+
+		void Cancel(void)
+			Cancels an outstanding Join method. Join will return with
+			org.bluez.mesh1.Error.Canceled
+
+		(object node, array{byte, array{(uint16, dict}} configuration) Attach(
+									object app_defined_root, uint64 token)
+
+			After successful Provisioning/Joining (i.e., after the initial
+			successful Join call), this is the first method that an application
+			must call to obtain access to mesh node functionalities.
+			The daemon verifies whether the application is authorized to
+			use this mesh node based on the value of the 64-bit token, which has
+			been assigned to the application when it first joined mesh network.
+
+			The app_defined_root parameter is a D-Bus object root path of the
+			node where child mesh elements have their own objects that implement
+			the org.bluez.mesh.Access interface. The standard DBus.ObjectManager
+			interface must be available on the app_defined_root path. The
+			app_defined_root tree must conform to the naming convention
+			described in the Mesh Application Hierarchy.
+
+			The token parameter is a 64-bit number that has been obtained
+			as a result of successful Join() method call.
+
+			In case of success, the method call returns mesh node object (see
+			Mesh Node Hierarchy section) and current configuration settings.
+			The configuration parameter is an array, where each entry is a
+			configuration per node element:
+				index (byte) - element index
+				array of model configurations:
+					model_id (uint16) - SIG Model Identifier
+					model_config - dictionary with the following keys defined:
+
+						array{uint16} Bindings : Indices of application keys
+									bound to the model
+						uint32 PublicationPeriod : Model publication period in
+									milliseconds
+						uint16 Vendor: a 16-bit Bluetooth-assigned Company
+									Identifier of the vendor as defined by
+									Bluetooth SIG
+
+			PossibleErrors:
+				org.bluez.mesh1.Error.InvalidArguments
+				org.bluez.mesh1.Error.NotFound,
+				org.bluez.mesh1.Error.Failed
+
+		void Leave(uint64 token)
+
+			This removes the configuration information about the mesh node
+			identified by the 64-bit token parameter. The token parameter
+			has been obtained as a result of successful Join() method call.
+
+			PossibleErrors:
+				org.bluez.mesh1.Error.NotFound
+
+Mesh Node Hierarchy
+===================
+Service		org.bluez.mesh1
+Interface	org.bluez.mesh1.Node
+Object path	/org/bluez/mesh1/node<xxxx>
+		where xxxx is a 4-digit hexadecimal number generated by meshd daemon
+
+Methods:
+
+		void Send(object element_path, uint16_t destination, uint16 key_index,
+								array{byte} data)
+
+			This method is used to send a message originated by a local model.
+
+			The element_path parameter is the object path of an element from
+			a collection of the application elements (see Mesh Application
+			Hierarchy section).
+
+			The destination parameter contains the destination address. This
+			destination must be a uint16 to a unicast address, or a well known
+			group address.
+
+			The key_index parameter determines which application key to use for
+			encrypting the message. The key_index must be valid for that
+			element, i.e., the application key must be bound to a model on this
+			element. Otherwise, org.bluez.mesh1.Error.NotAuthorized will be
+			returned.
+
+			The data parameter is an outgoing message to be encypted by the
+			meshd daemon and sent on.
+
+			Possible errors:
+				org.bluez.mesh1.Error.NotAuthorized
+				org.bluez.mesh1.Error.InvalidArguments
+				org.bluez.mesh1.Error.NotFound
+
+		void Publish(object element_path, uint16 model, array{byte} data)
+
+			This method is used to send a publication originated by a local
+			model. If the model does not exist, or it has no publication record,
+			the method returns org.bluez.mesh1.Error.DoesNotExist error.
+
+			The element_path parameter is the object path of an element from
+			a collection of the application elements (see Mesh Application
+			Hierarchy section).
+
+			The model parameter contains a model ID, as defined by the
+			Bluetooth SIG.
+
+			Since only one Publish record may exist per element-model, the
+			destination and key_index are obtained from the Publication
+			record cached by the daemon.
+
+			Possible errors:
+				org.bluez.mesh1.Error.DoesNotExist
+				org.bluez.mesh1.Error.InvalidArguments
+				org.bluez.mesh1.Error.NotFound
+
+		void VendorPublish(object element_path, uint16 vendor, uint16 model_id,
+								array{byte} data)
+
+			This method is used to send a publication originated by a local
+			vendor model. If the model does not exist, or it has no publication
+			record, the method returns org.bluez.mesh1.Error.DoesNotExist error.
+
+			The element_path parameter is the object path of an element from
+			a collection of the application elements (see Mesh Application
+			Hierarchy section).
+
+			The vendor parameter is a 16-bit Bluetooth-assigned Company
+			Identifier.
+
+			The model_id parameter is a 16-bit vendor-assigned Model Identifier.
+
+			Since only one Publish record may exist per element-model, the
+			destination and key_index are obtained from the Publication
+			record cached by the daemon.
+
+			Possible errors:
+				org.bluez.mesh1.Error.DoesNotExist
+				org.bluez.mesh1.Error.InvalidArguments
+				org.bluez.mesh1.Error.NotFound
+
+Properties:
+		dict Features [read-only]
+
+			The following keys are defined:
+					uint16 Friend
+					uint16 LowPower
+					uint16 Proxy
+					uint16 Beaconing
+			with following  enumerated values:
+					0 - feature is disabled
+					1 - feature is enabled
+					2 - feature is unsupported
+
+		uint32 SecondsSinceLastHeard [read-only]
+			This property may be read at any time to determine the number of
+			seconds since mesh network layer traffic was last detected on this
+			node's network.
+
+		uint16 unicast [read-only] : Primary unicast address assigned to
+			this node
+
+Mesh Application Hierarchy
+==========================
+Service		unique name
+
+An applcation is a collection of elements that host SIG defined and vendor
+specific models. It is expected that an application implements
+org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager interface.
+
+An example mesh application hierarchy may look like this:
+
+		-> /com/example
+			|   - org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager
+			|   - org.bluez.mesh1.Attention (optional)
+			|
+			-> /com/example/ele00
+			| |   - org.bluez.mesh1.Element
+			-> /com/example/ele01
+			| |   - org.bluez.mesh1.Element
+			...
+			-> /com/example/elexx
+			| |   - org.bluez.mesh1.Element
+
+Mesh Element Hierarchy
+======================
+Service		unique name
+Interface	org.bluez.mesh1.Element
+Object path	/<app_defined_root>/ele<yy>
+		where yy is a 2-digit zero relative hexadecimal index of the element
+
+Methods:
+
+		void MessageReceived(uint16 source, uint16 key_index, bool subscription,
+									array{byte} data)
+
+			This method is called by meshd daemon when a message arrives
+			addressed to the application.
+
+			The source parameter is unicast address of the remote node-element
+			that sent the message.
+
+			The key_index parameter indicates which application key has been
+			used to decode the incoming message. The same key_index should be
+			used by the application when sending a response to this message
+			(in case a response is expected).
+
+			The subscription parameter is a boolean that is set to true if
+			the message is received as a part of the subscription (i.e., the
+			destination is either a well known group address or a virtual
+			label.
+
+			The data parameter is the incoming message.
+
+		void UpdateModelConfiguration(uint16 model_id, dict config)
+
+			This method is called by meshd daemon when a model's configuration
+			is updated.
+
+			The model_id parameter contains BT SIG Model Identifier.
+
+			The config parameter is a dictionary with the following keys
+			defined:
+
+				array{uint16} Bindings : Indices of application keys
+									bound to the model
+				uint32 PublicationPeriod : Model publication period in
+									milliseconds
+				uint16 Vendor: a 16-bit Bluetooth-assigned Company
+									Identifier of the vendor as defined by
+									Bluetooth SIG
+
+Mesh Attention Hierarchy
+========================
+Service		unique name
+Interface	org.bluez.mesh1.Attention
+Object path	freely definable
+
+This is an optional interface that implements health attention timer.
+
+Methods:
+		void SetTimer(uint8 element_index,  uint16 time)
+
+			The element_index parameter is the element's index within the node
+			where the health server model is hosted.
+
+			The time parameter indicates how many seconds the attention state
+			shall be on.
+
+			PossibleErrors:
+				org.bluez.mesh1.Error.NotSupported
+
+		uint16 GetTimer(uint16 element)
+
+			The element parameter is the unicast address within the node
+			where the health server model is hosted.
+
+			Returns the number of seconds for how long the attention action
+			remains staying on.
+
+			PossibleErrors:
+				org.bluez.mesh1.Error.NotSupported
+
+
+Provisioning Agent Hierarchy
+============================
+Service		unique name
+Interface	org.bluez.mesh1.ProvisionAgent
+Object path	freely definable
+
+Methods:
+		array{byte} PrivateKey()
+
+			This method is called during provisioning if the Provisioner
+			has requested Out-Of-Band ECC key exchange. The Private key
+			is returned to the Daemon, and the Public Key is delivered to
+			the remote Provisioner using a method that does not involve
+			the Bluetooth Mesh system. The Private Key returned must be
+			32 octets in size, or the Provisioning procedure will fail
+			and be canceled.
+
+			This function will only be called if the Provisioner has
+			requested pre-determined keys to be exchanged Out-of-Band,
+			and the local role is Unprovisioned device.
+
+		array{byte} PublicKey()
+
+			This method is called during provisioning if the local device
+			is the Provisioner, and is requestng Out-Of-Band ECC key
+			exchange. The Public key is returned to the Daemon
+			that is the matched pair of the Private key of the remote
+			device. The Public Key returned must be 64 octets in
+			size, or the Provisioning procedure will fail and be canceled.
+
+			This function will only be called if the Provisioner has
+			requested pre-determined keys to be exchanged Out-of-Band,
+			and the local role is Provisioner.
+
+		void DisplayString(string display)
+			This method is called when the Daemon has something important
+			for the Agent to Display, but does not require any additional
+			input locally. For instance: "Enter "ABCDE" on remote device".
+
+		void DisplayNumeric(uint8 type, uint32 number)
+
+			This method is called when the Daemon has something important
+			for the Agent to Display, but does not require any additional
+			input locally. For instance: "Enter 149264 on remote device".
+
+			The type parameter indicates the display method. An enumeration
+			of "Blink", "Beep", "Vibrate", or "OutNumeric".
+
+			The number parameter is the specific value represented by
+			the Prompt.
+
+		uint32 PromptNumeric(uint8 type)
+
+			This method is called when the Daemon has requires the user to
+			enter a 1-9 digit decimal value.
+
+			The type parameter indicates the input method. An enumeration
+			of "Push", "Twist", or "InNumeric".
+
+			This agent should prompt the user for specific input. For instance:
+			"Enter value being displayed by remote device".
+
+		array{byte} PromptStatic(uint8 type)
+
+			This method is called when the Daemon requires a 16 octet
+			byte array, as an Out-of-Band authentication.
+
+			The type parameter indicates the input method. An enumeration
+			of "Static", or "InAlpha".
+
+			The Static data returned must be 16 octets in size, or the
+			Provisioning procedure will fail and be canceled. If input is
+			an InAlpha String, the printable charactors should be left
+			justified, with trailing 0x00 octets filling the remaining bytes.
+
+		void Cancel()
+
+			This method gets called by the daemon to cancel any existing
+			Agent Requests. When called, any pending user input should be
+			canceled.
