Trying to know if the device is locked using dbus-send

Hi!

Here is my question : how to check if the device is locked using dbus. I don't want to trigger an action when the signal "locked" is send, I just want to check the current state using dbus-send.

So the following code locks the device :

Code:

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_tklock_mode_change string:"locked"

Which makes dbus send the following signal :

Code:

signal sender=:1.9 -> dest=(null destination) serial=342 path=/com/nokia/mce/signal; interface=com.nokia.mce.signal; member=tklock_mode_ind

   string "locked"

But I have no idea which method to call to get the status. I would like to run something like :

Code:

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/ string:"com.nokia.mce.signal.tklock_mode_ind"

Any idea ? Thanks

Despite being closed source, MCE does have a nice page listing the signals it'll emit and the D-Bus methods that are available for you to call: http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/5.0-fi...-names_8h.html
