    \since 4.2

    \brief The QDBusReply class stores the reply for a method call to a remote object.

    A QDBusReply object is a subset of the QDBusMessage object that represents a method call's
    reply. It contains only the first output argument or the error code and is used by
    QDBusInterface-derived classes to allow returning the error code as the function's return
    argument.

    It can be used in the following manner:
    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_qdbus_qdbusreply.cpp 0

    If the remote method call cannot fail, you can skip the error checking:
    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_qdbus_qdbusreply.cpp 1

    However, if it does fail under those conditions, the value returned by QDBusReply::value() is
    a default-constructed value. It may be indistinguishable from a valid return value.

    QDBusReply objects are used for remote calls that have no output
    arguments or return values (i.e., they have a "void" return
    type). Use the isValid() function to test if the reply succeeded.
