variant type provided by the D-Bus typesystem.</p>
<p>A D-Bus function that takes an integer, a D-Bus variant and a
string as parameters can be called with the following argument list
(see <a href="qdbusmessage.html#setArguments">QDBusMessage.setArguments</a>()):</p>
<pre class="cpp">
<span class="type"><a href="qlist.html">QList</a></span><span class="operator"><</span><span class="type"><a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a></span><span class="operator">></span> arguments;
arguments <span class="operator"><</span><span class="operator"><</span> <span class="type"><a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a></span>(<span class="number">42</span>) <span class="operator"><</span><span class="operator"><</span> <span class="type"><a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a></span><span class="operator">.</span>fromValue(<span class="type">QDBusVariant</span>(<span class="number">43</span>)) <span class="operator"><</span><span class="operator"><</span> <span class="type"><a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a></span>(<span class="string">"hello"</span>);
myDBusMessage<span class="operator">.</span>setArguments(arguments);
</pre>
<p>When a D-Bus function returns a D-Bus variant, it can be
retrieved as follows:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
<span class="comment">// call a D-Bus function that returns a D-Bus variant</span>
<span class="type"><a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a></span> v <span class="operator">=</span> callMyDBusFunction();
<span class="comment">// retrieve the D-Bus variant</span>
<span class="type">QDBusVariant</span> dbusVariant <span class="operator">=</span> qvariant_cast<span class="operator"><</span><span class="type">QDBusVariant</span><span class="operator">></span>(v);
<span class="comment">// retrieve the actual value stored in the D-Bus variant</span>
<span class="type"><a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a></span> result <span class="operator">=</span> dbusVariant<span class="operator">.</span>variant();
</pre>
<p>The <a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a> within a QDBusVariant
is required to distinguish between a normal D-Bus value and a value
within a D-Bus variant.</p>
