# systemd-stdio-bridge > Implement a proxy between `stdin`/`stdout` and a D-Bus. > Note: It expects to receive an open connection via `stdin`/`stdout` when started, and will create a new connection to the specified bus. > More information: . - Forward `stdin`/`stdout` to the local system bus: `systemd-stdio-bridge` - Forward `stdin`/`stdout` to a specific user's D-Bus: `systemd-stdio-bridge --{{user}}` - Forward `stdin`/`stdout` to the local system bus within a specific container: `systemd-stdio-bridge --machine={{mycontainer}}` - Forward `stdin`/`stdout` to a custom D-Bus address: `systemd-stdio-bridge --bus-path=unix:path={{/custom/dbus/socket}}`
