Per the documentation in for dbus-register-signal in dbus.el:
SERVICE, PATH, INTERFACE and SIGNAL can be nil. This is
interpreted as a wildcard for the respective argument.
I wrote a little test, cribbed from dbus-test05-register-signal in dbus-test.el. Where dbus-test-wildcards.el is the attached file:
$ emacs -Q -batch -l ert -l ~/dbus-test-wildcards.el -f ert-run-tests-batch-and-exit
Running 1 tests (2024-03-20 18:11:55-0700, selector ‘t’)
