abus

A D-Bus implementation in Rust, built specifically for Tokio.

Most of the existing Rust D-Bus work supports multiple async runtimes. That flexibility is useful if you need it, but the cost is real: a larger dependency surface, extra abstraction layers, and a library that doesn't quite fit anywhere. abus skips all of that. Tokio only, nothing else.

Note: abus is under active development. The roadmap below describes what this project is working toward, not what is necessarily implemented today.

Design

abus is written specifically for Tokio. The connection uses AsyncFd directly, FD passing goes through sendmsg/recvmsg, and message framing is built on tokio_util::codec. No adapter layers.

The dependency tree is kept deliberately small. The goal is something shallow enough to actually audit, where each crate is there for a concrete reason.

The API aims to be idiomatic async Rust: async methods, standard AsyncRead/AsyncWrite traits, and eventually typed message construction so you are not manually assembling wire bytes.
