## Known Implementations

TpSvcDBusProperties is implemented by TpDebugSender and TpBaseConnection.

## Signals

      "properties-changed"                             : Run Last / Has Details
      "property-flags-changed"                         : Run Last / Has Details

## Description

The D-Bus Properties interface associates named properties with any D-Bus object.

The D-Bus Introspectable interface provides introspection information.

The D-Bus Peer interface is exported by every D-Bus object.

The Telepathy Properties interface associates a number of named properties with a channel, connection or other D-Bus object. Signals are emitted when the properties or their flags (readable/writable) change.
