Object Hierarchy

  GInterface
   +----McpDispatchOperation

Prerequisites

McpDispatchOperation requires GObject.

Description

This object represents a Telepathy ChannelDispatchOperation object, as used by Approvers. A ChannelDispatchOperation represents a bundle of one or more Telepathy Channels being dispatched to user interfaces or other clients.

The virtual method mcd_dispatch_operation_policy_check() receives an object provided by Mission Control that implements this interface. It can be used to inspect the channels, delay dispatching of the bundle until the plugin is ready to continue, or close the channels in various ways.

Only Mission Control should implement this interface.

Attempt to find a channel matching the given handle type and channel type in the bundle. This is an easy way to test whether the bundle contains any channels of interest to a particular plugin.

self :

a dispatch operation

start_from :

index at which to start searching, usually 0

handle_type :

the handle type to match

channel_type :

the channel type to match

ret_index :

if not NULL, used to return the index of the first matching channel, suitable for use with mcp_dispatch_operation_get_nth_channel_path() etc.

ret_dup_path :

if not NULL, used to return the object path of the first matching channel, which must be freed with g_free()

ret_ref_immutable_properties :

if not NULL, used to return a reference to immutable properties, as if via mcp_dispatch_operation_ref_nth_channel_properties(), which must be released with g_hash_table_unref()

ret_ref_channel :

if not NULL, used to return a TpChannel, which is not guaranteed to be ready immediately, and must be released with g_object_unref()

Returns :

TRUE if a matching channel was found, or FALSE (without touching ret_index, ret_dup_path, ret_ref_immutable_properties or ret_ref_channel) if not

self :

a dispatch operation

Returns :

mcp_dispatch_operation_get_cm_name ()

const gchar *       mcp_dispatch_operation_get_cm_name  (McpDispatchOperation *self);

self :

a dispatch operation

Returns :

the short name of the Telepathy connection manager, such as 'gabble' or 'haze' (the Connection_Manager_Name type in telepathy-spec). The string is owned by self and must not be freed; it is only valid as long as a reference to self is held.

Return a TpChannel object. It is not guaranteed to be ready immediately; use tp_channel_call_when_ready().

self :

a dispatch operation

n :

index of the channel to inspect

Returns :

a reference to a TpChannel, which must be released with g_object_unref() by the caller, or NULL if n is too large

mcp_dispatch_operation_ref_nth_channel_properties ()

GHashTable *        mcp_dispatch_operation_ref_nth_channel_properties
                                                        (McpDispatchOperation *self,

Return the immutable properties of the n'th channel (starting from 0), or NULL if n is greater than or equal to mcp_dispatch_operation_get_n_channels().

The keys of the hash table are strings and the values are in GValue structures, using the same representation as dbus-glib, tp_asv_get_string() etc. Do not add or remove entries in this hash table.

self :

a dispatch operation

n :

index of the channel to inspect

Returns :

a reference to a hash table, which must be released with g_hash_table_unref() by the caller

mcp_dispatch_operation_start_delay ()

McpDispatchOperationDelay * mcp_dispatch_operation_start_delay
                                                        (McpDispatchOperation *self);

Start to delay the dispatch operation, for instance while waiting for an asynchronous operation to finish. The returned token must be passed to mcp_dispatch_operation_end_delay() exactly once, at which point dispatching will continue and the token becomes invalid.

This is similar to an Observer delaying the return from ObserveChannels, except that there is no time limit - a dispatch operation policy plugin can delay the dispatch operation indefinitely.

self :

a dispatch operation

Returns :

a token which can be used to end the delay
