### Function

# Gio DBusConnection new_for_address

since: 2.26

#### Declaration

    void
    g_dbus_connection_new_for_address (
      const gchar* address,
      GDBusConnectionFlags flags,
      GDBusAuthObserver* observer,
      GCancellable* cancellable,
      GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
      gpointer user_data
    )

#### Description

Asynchronously 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()` 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.

When the operation is finished, `callback` will be invoked. You can then call `g_dbus_connection_new_for_address_finish()` to get the result of the operation.

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

This is an asynchronous failable constructor. See `g_dbus_connection_new_for_address_sync()` for the synchronous version.

Available since: 2.26
