		D-Bus is a simple, message-based protocol for inter-process
		communication, which allows applications to interact with other parts of
		the machine and the user's session using remote procedure calls.
		
		D-Bus is a essential part of the modern Linux desktop, where it replaces
		earlier protocols such as CORBA and DCOP.
		
		This library is an implementation of the D-Bus protocol in Haskell. It
		can be used to add D-Bus support to Haskell applications, without the
		awkward interfaces common to foreign bindings.
		
		Example: connect to the session bus, and get a list of active names.
		
		@
		&amp;#x7b;-\# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings \#-&amp;#x7d;
		
		import Data.List (sort)
		import DBus
		import DBus.Client
		
		main = do
		&amp;#x20;   client &lt;- connectSession
		&amp;#x20;   //
		&amp;#x20;   \-- Request a list of connected clients from the bus
		&amp;#x20;   reply &lt;- call_ client (methodCall \"\/org\/freedesktop\/DBus\" \"org.freedesktop.DBus\" \"ListNames\")
		&amp;#x20;       &amp;#x7b; methodCallDestination = Just \"org.freedesktop.DBus\"
		&amp;#x20;       &amp;#x7d;
		&amp;#x20;   //
		&amp;#x20;   \-- org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames() returns a single value, which is
		&amp;#x20;   \-- a list of names (here represented as [String])
		&amp;#x20;   let Just names = fromVariant (methodReturnBody reply !! 0)
		&amp;#x20;   //
		&amp;#x20;   \-- Print each name on a line, sorted so reserved names are below
		&amp;#x20;   \-- temporary names.
