@chapter Readme

The DBusKit framework provides Objective-C applications with bindings
for the D-Bus inter-process communication system. It allows Objective-C
applications to transparently access services exposed via D-Bus. 

@section Build and Install

Please refer to the @samp{INSTALL} file for information about
dependencies and instructions about installing the library.

@section Mac OS X Support

DBusKit makes use of the typed selectors feature of the Objective-C
runtime. Since typed selectors are not available in Apple's libobjc,
Mac OS X is not supported by DBusKit.

@section Test suite
Execute @kbd{make test=yes} to compile and run the test suite. This
requires the UnitKit framework from Étoilé and a working D-Bus
installation.
