    \brief The QDBusContext class allows slots to determine the D-Bus context of the calls.

    When a slot is called in an object due to a signal delivery or due
    to a remote method call, it is sometimes necessary to know the
    context in which that happened. In particular, if the slot
    determines that it wants to send the reply at a later opportunity
    or if it wants to reply with an error, the context is needed.

    The QDBusContext class is an alternative to accessing the context
    that doesn't involve modifying the code generated by the \l
    {QtDBus XML Compiler (qdbusxml2cpp)}.

    QDBusContext is used by subclassing it from the objects being
    exported using QDBusConnection::registerObject(). The following
    example illustrates the usage:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_qdbus_qdbuscontext.cpp 0

    The example illustrates the two typical uses, that of sending
    error replies and that of delayed replies.

    Note: do not subclass QDBusContext and QDBusAbstractAdaptor at the
    same time. QDBusContext should appear in the real object, not the
    adaptor. If it's necessary from the adaptor code to determine the
    context, use a public inheritance and access the functions via
    QObject::parent().
