/* Implements a D-Bus service that automatically reconnects when the system bus is restarted.

* Compile with 'cc sd_bus_service_reconnect.c $(pkg-config --libs --cflags libsystemd)'
*
* To allow the program to take ownership of the name 'org.freedesktop.ReconnectExample',
* add the following as /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.ReconnectExample.conf
* and then reload the broker with 'systemctl reload dbus':
*
* To get the property via busctl:
*
* $ busctl --user get-property org.freedesktop.ReconnectExample \
* /org/freedesktop/ReconnectExample \
* org.freedesktop.ReconnectExample \
* Example
* s "example"
