please refer to this link [https://github.com/openbmc/sdbusplus] for
documentation and examples.
or you can use busctrl to find out it.

example:
    busctl tree xyz.openbmc_project.LED.GroupManager
    busctl introspect   xyz.openbmc_project.LED.GroupManager
/xyz/openbmc_project/led/groups/enclosure_fault

Linux uses device tree to describe the hardware component,you can
refer to https://elinux.org/Device_Tree_Usage
This link[https://github.com/openbmc/docs/blob/master/LED-architecture.md]
tells you how openbmc controls led.

Can be roughly described:
          phosphor-led-manager(strategy) -->
phosphor-led->sysfs(action)  --> linux led subsystem

 linux led subsystem :
https://github.com/openbmc/linux/blob/dev-4.19/Documentation/leds/leds-class.txt
