Any cmdline tools to modify DBus

Any cmdline tools to modify DBus

Hi Team,

Is there any cmd to create/delete interface/property of existing DBus objects created by other services? Looking for an easier way to quickly do it for debugging in early development phase without coding.
Please advise.

Thanks,
Kun

I don't know of anything at this time.

Once I add the client bindings in sdbusplus, I considered it would be fairly
easy to write a small CLI that allowed interrogation of the dbus objects in a
friendlier way.  We could also allow that to use the server bindings to create
simple test executables.

Like anything in an open source project, it'll get done when it gets done.  If
you want to contribute code in that area, please let me know and I can point you
in the right direction.
