# CreateInterface(1)

Create a Java Interface definition from DBus introspection data.

## NAME

CreateInterface — Create a Java Interface definition from DBus  introspection data.

## SYNOPSIS

**CreateInterface** \[*introspection.xml\]  \[busname* *objectname\]  \[***-y** *\]  \[***--system** *\]  \[***-s** *\]  \[***--session** *\]  \[***-f** *\]  \[***--create-files** *\]  \[***-h** *\]  \[***--help***\]*

## DESCRIPTION

*This manual page documents briefly the*  **CreateInterface** command.

**CreateInterface** takes DBus introspection data,   either as an XML file or by calling the Introspect() method on the Bus,  and converts it into a Java interface file. This is either written  to the standard output or to the correct file structure for the  Java packages.

## OPTIONS

These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax,  with long options starting with two dashes (\`-').  A summary of  options is included below.

- **-s** **--session**

  Use the Session Bus to query introspection data   (This is the Default)

- **-y** **--system**

  Use the System Bus to query introspection data   (Default is Session)

- **-f** **--create-files**

  Writes introspection data into files rather than to stdout.

- **--no-ignore-builtin**
