Hi Alan,
If a do a "busctl list" before and after starting the
"example-gatt-server" I can see that there is a new service started.
The way the example is coded it doesn't get given a nice service name
but I can see it is called (in my case) ":1.20"
I can now see the tree of services created.
$ busctl tree ":1.20"
└─/org
└─/org/bluez
└─/org/bluez/example
├─/org/bluez/example/service0
│ ├─/org/bluez/example/service0/char0
│ ├─/org/bluez/example/service0/char1
│ └─/org/bluez/example/service0/char2
├─/org/bluez/example/service1
│ └─/org/bluez/example/service1/char0
└─/org/bluez/example/service2
├─/org/bluez/example/service2/char0
│ ├─/org/bluez/example/service2/char0/desc0
│ └─/org/bluez/example/service2/char0/desc1
├─/org/bluez/example/service2/char1
│ ├─/org/bluez/example/service2/char1/desc2
│ └─/org/bluez/example/service2/char1/desc3
└─/org/bluez/example/service2/char2
├─/org/bluez/example/service2/char2/desc2
└─/org/bluez/example/service2/char2/desc3
While the object path is the same as "org.bluez", they are stored
under a different service. So if I do "org.bluez" I can see they are
not there:
$ busctl tree "org.bluez"
└─/org
└─/org/bluez
├─/org/bluez/hci0
│ └─/org/bluez/hci0/dev_E3_AC_D2_F8_EB_B9
└─/org/bluez/test
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Barry
