dbus-glib comes with <span class="command"><strong>dbus-binding-tool</strong></span>, which
can produce somewhat nice client- and server-side wrappers for a D-Bus interface.
With GDBus, <span class="command"><strong>gdbus-codegen</strong></span> is used and like
its counterpart, it also takes D-Bus Introspection XML as input:

then two files <code class="filename">generated-code.h</code> and
<code class="filename">generated-code.c</code> are
generated. Additionally, two XML files
<code class="filename">generated-docs-org.gtk.GDBus.Example.ObjectManager.Animal</code> and
<code class="filename">generated-docs-org.gtk.GDBus.Example.ObjectManager.Cat</code>
with Docbook XML are generated.

<p>
While the contents of <code class="filename">generated-code.h</code> and
<code class="filename">generated-code.c</code> are best described by the
<span class="command"><strong>gdbus-codegen</strong></span> manual
