D-Bus AT-SPI ------------ This version of at-spi is a major break from version 1.x. It has been completely rewritten to use D-Bus rather than ORBIT / CORBA for its transport protocol. An outdated page including instructions for testing, project status and TODO items is at: https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/accessibility/atk/at-spi/at-spi_on_d-bus The mailing list used for general questions is: https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/accessibility-atspi For bug reports, feature requests, patches or enhancements please use: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/at-spi2-core/ A git repository with the latest development code is available at: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/at-spi2-core/ More information ---------------- The project was started with a D-Bus performance review the results of which are available on the GNOME wiki. Keep in mind that the D-Bus AT-SPI design documents on this page have not been kept up to date. https://wiki.gnome.org/Accessibility/Documentation/GNOME2/ATSPI2-Investigation Other sources of relevant information about AT-SPI and Accessibility include: https://wiki.gnome.org/Accessibility https://community.kde.org/Accessibility Contents of this package ------------------------ This package includes the protocol definitions for the new D-Bus at-spi. Also included is the daemon necessary for forwarding device events and registering accessible applicaitions. Directory structure ------------------- The directories within this package are arranged as follows: xml This directory contains XML documents describing the D-Bus protocol in the format used for D-Bus introspection. idl The D-Bus specification in an idl-like format. This is likely not parseable by any existing tools, is not entirely up-to-date, and may by removed in a future release. registryd The registry daemon code. The registry daemon keeps a register of accessible applications and presents this to clients (ATs). It is also responsible for delivering device events. dbind Library to ease making D-Bus method calls, contains marshalling code to convert function arguments and a provided D-Bus signature into a D-Bus message. Used by libatspi. atspi C library for use by ATs. Wraps the various D-Bus calls, provides an interface for listening to events, and caches some information about accessible objects. Also contains some functions used by at-spi2-atk. bus A server that sits on the session bus and provides an interface allowing applications to find the accessibility bus daemon, launching it as needed. The accessibility bus is separate from the session bus because it may in fact span user sessions if a user, for instance, runs an application that escalates to run as root. The accessibility bus is thus tied to the X session rather than the D-Bus session. doc Contains infrastructure for creating libatspi documentation. test Contains files that may be useful for testing AT-SPI. m4 Some macros used for building the module. po Infrastructure used for translation.
