Is there any tool to query dbus interface property?

Hi All,

I would like to query a dbus property and make different actions based on the property.

Just like the pgood_wait.c in skeleton, but it only supports the pgood property. Is there any a common tool can support query/wait different dbus interface/objects?

If not, I would like to create one based on the pgood_wait.c

Thanks,

Yong

Thanks for your information.

What I want is to wait for a property to be an expected value. For example, wait for pgood to be 1, to make sure the power is on.

Let me check on the mapper wait command......

Thanks,
Yong

Just querying a property can be done via the busctl tool: busctl get-property xyz.openbmc_project.State.BMC /xyz/openbmc_project/state/bmc0 xyz.openbmc_project.State.BMC CurrentBMCState

Waiting on a dbus service can be done via the mapper tool: mapper wait /xyz/openbmc_project/state/bmc0

And this can also all be done in the application code itself using sdbusplus interfaces to mapper and the objects you're interested in.
