Gio.DBusConnection.new_for_address_sync
Description: Reference for Gio.DBusConnection.new_for_address_sync

### Constructor

# Gio DBusConnectionnew_for_address_sync

since: 2.26

#### Declaration

    GDBusConnection*
    g_dbus_connection_new_for_address_sync (
      const gchar* address,
      GDBusConnectionFlags flags,
      GDBusAuthObserver* observer,
      GCancellable* cancellable,
      GError** error
    )

#### Description

Synchronously connects and sets up a D-Bus client connection for exchanging D-Bus messages with an endpoint specified by `address` which must be in the D-Bus address format.

This constructor can only be used to initiate client-side connections - use `g_dbus_connection_new_sync()` if you need to act as the server. In particular, `flags` cannot contain the `G_DBUS_CONNECTION_FLAGS_AUTHENTICATION_SERVER`, `G_DBUS_CONNECTION_FLAGS_AUTHENTICATION_ALLOW_ANONYMOUS` or `G_DBUS_CONNECTION_FLAGS_AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRE_SAME_USER` flags.

This is a synchronous failable constructor. See `g_dbus_connection_new_for_address()` for the asynchronous version.

If `observer` is not `NULL` it may be used to control the authentication process.

Available since: 2.26

#### Parameters

`address`

  Type: `const gchar*`

  A D-Bus address.

  The data is owned by the caller of the function.
  The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.

`flags`

  Type: `GDBusConnectionFlags`

  Flags describing how to make the connection.

`observer`

  Type: `GDBusAuthObserver`

  A `GDBusAuthObserver` or `NULL`.

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  The data is owned by the caller of the function.

`cancellable`

  Type: `GCancellable`

  A `GCancellable` or `NULL`.

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  The data is owned by the caller of the function.

`error`

  Type: `GError **`

  The return location for a recoverable error.

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  If the return location is not `NULL`, then you must initialize it to a `NULL` `GError*`.
  The argument will be left initialized to `NULL` by the constructor if there are no errors.
  In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated `GError`; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

#### Return value

Type: `GDBusConnection`

A `GDBusConnection` or `NULL` if `error` is set. Free with g_object_unref().

The caller of the function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
