DBusConnection.guid

The GUID of the peer performing the role of server when

authenticating.

If you are constructing a #GDBusConnection and pass [gio.types.DBusConnectionFlags.AuthenticationServer] in the #GDBusConnection:flags property then you must also set this property to a valid guid.

If you are constructing a #GDBusConnection and pass [gio.types.DBusConnectionFlags.AuthenticationClient] in the #GDBusConnection:flags property you will be able to read the GUID of the other peer here after the connection has been successfully initialized.

Note that the

D-Bus specification

uses the term ‘UUID’ to refer to this, whereas GLib consistently uses the term ‘GUID’ for historical reasons.

Despite its name, the format of #GDBusConnection:guid does not follow

RFC 4122 or the Microsoft

GUID format.
