    \brief The QDBusAbstractInterface class is the base class for all D-Bus interfaces in the QtDBus binding, allowing access to remote interfaces

    Generated-code classes also derive from QDBusAbstractInterface,
    all methods described here are also valid for generated-code
    classes. In addition to those described here, generated-code
    classes provide member functions for the remote methods, which
    allow for compile-time checking of the correct parameters and
    return values, as well as property type-matching and signal
    parameter-matching.

    by the function call. Optionally, it may have a QDBusMessage
