    Description

      Now that QDBusServer is getting usable for p2p connection, the following methods of DBusConnection can provide useful information (for example, combined with a security framework to check the peer's credentials):

       
dbus_bool_t 	dbus_connection_get_unix_fd (DBusConnection *connection, int *fd)
 	Get the UNIX file descriptor of the connection, if any.
dbus_bool_t 	dbus_connection_get_socket (DBusConnection *connection, int *fd)
 	Gets the underlying Windows or UNIX socket file descriptor of the connection, if any.
dbus_bool_t 	dbus_connection_get_unix_user (DBusConnection *connection, unsigned long *uid)
 	Gets the UNIX user ID of the connection if known.
dbus_bool_t 	dbus_connection_get_unix_process_id (DBusConnection *connection, unsigned long *pid)
 	Gets the process ID of the connection if any.

      Without these methods, one will have to resort to the undocumented QDBusConnection::internalPointer().

      I should be able to find some time to provide a patch, if requested.
