General Structure

Most ibus message types are device-independent and can be used by all IBus Devices, where they make sense to that device.

Most ibus message types are only used once. Only very rarely will two different IBus Devices use the same message type number. Hence all ibus messages are listed on this page.

Example: many IBus Devices respond to the "Device status request" message. Some exceptions to this rule occur, however the exceptions are not many.

Generally, an odd message is a request, an even message is the reply.

Example 1:

Example 2:

  • 0x03: "Bus status request"
  • 0x04: "Bus status" (response to 0x03)

Example 3:

  • 0x79: "Doors/flaps status request"
  • 0x7A: "Doors/flaps status" (response to 0x79)
