curconvd

curconvd is another binary package that can be generated from KEuroCalc source package. curconvd is a daemon that acts as a currency conversion service over D-Bus.

It works as follows : the curconvd deamon is started in the background. An application that needs to convert monetary amounts "speaks" to curconvd via D-Bus. The fastest way to do that is to use the D-Bus API. However, a shell script, like the small example that is included with the program, can use an utility like qdbus to communicate with curconvd.

The full documentation of curconvd application programming interface is located in the file API.txt in curconvd directory.
