The daemon and <span class="application">KPilot</span> communicate using <span class="acronym">DCOP</span>
for several purposes: logging messages, changing the <span class="trademark">HotSync</span>
type, and exchanging configuration information.

The daemon has two important interfaces:
<span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="interface">LogIface</span></span>
and
<span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="interface">KPilotDaemonIface
</span></span>.
The <span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="interface">LogIface</span></span>
interface is used to record messages in the sync log
on the handheld, and is rarely used.
The <span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="interface">KPilotDaemonIface</span></span>
is the more important <span class="acronym">DCOP</span> interface,
and is used to control the kind of <span class="trademark">HotSync</span> that
<span class="application">KPilot</span> will do.

the daemon will do next:
