Description

Most instant messaging protocols allow users to set a nickname or alias. This section documents the auto-generated C wrappers for the Aliasing interface, used with TpConnection objects.

Functions

tp_cli_connection_interface_aliasing_run_get_alias_flags ()

gboolean
tp_cli_connection_interface_aliasing_run_get_alias_flags
                               (TpConnection *proxy,
                                gint timeout_ms,
                                guint *out_Alias_Flags,
                                GError **error,
                                GMainLoop **loop);

tp_cli_connection_interface_aliasing_run_get_alias_flags is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Call the method GetAliasFlags and run the main loop until it returns. Before calling this method, you must add a reference to any borrowed objects you need to keep, and generally ensure that everything is in a consistent state.

Return a bitwise OR of flags detailing the behaviour of aliases on this connection.

Parameters

proxy	A TpConnection or subclass
timeout_ms	Timeout in milliseconds, or -1 for default
out_Alias_Flags	Used to return an 'out' argument if `TRUE` is returned: An integer with a bitwise OR of flags from ConnectionAliasFlags
error	If not `NULL`, used to return errors if `FALSE` is returned
loop	If not `NULL`, set before re-entering the main loop, to point to a GMainLoop which can be used to cancel this call with `g_main_loop_quit()`, causing a return of `FALSE` with `error` set to `TP_DBUS_ERROR_CANCELLED`

Returns

TRUE on success, FALSE and sets error on error

tp_cli_connection_interface_aliasing_run_request_aliases ()

                               (TpConnection *proxy,
                                gint timeout_ms,

                                GMainLoop **loop);

tp_cli_connection_interface_aliasing_run_request_aliases is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Call the method RequestAliases and run the main loop until it returns. Before calling this method, you must add a reference to any borrowed objects you need to keep, and generally ensure that everything is in a consistent state.

Request the value of several contacts' aliases at once.

Parameters

proxy	A TpConnection or subclass
timeout_ms	Timeout in milliseconds, or -1 for default
in_Contacts	Used to pass an 'in' argument: An array of handles representing contacts
out_Aliases	Used to return an 'out' argument if `TRUE` is returned: A list of aliases in the same order as the contact handles
error	If not `NULL`, used to return errors if `FALSE` is returned
loop	If not `NULL`, set before re-entering the main loop, to point to a GMainLoop which can be used to cancel this call with `g_main_loop_quit()`, causing a return of `FALSE` with `error` set to `TP_DBUS_ERROR_CANCELLED`

Returns

TRUE on success, FALSE and sets error on error

tp_cli_connection_interface_aliasing_run_get_aliases ()

gboolean
tp_cli_connection_interface_aliasing_run_get_aliases
                               (TpConnection *proxy,
                                gint timeout_ms,
                                const GArray *in_Contacts,
                                GHashTable **out_Aliases,
                                GError **error,
                                GMainLoop **loop);

tp_cli_connection_interface_aliasing_run_get_aliases is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Call the method GetAliases and run the main loop until it returns. Before calling this method, you must add a reference to any borrowed objects you need to keep, and generally ensure that everything is in a consistent state.

Request the value of several contacts' aliases at once. This SHOULD only return cached aliases, falling back on the contact identifier (i.e. the string corresponding to the handle) if none is present. Also if there was no cached alias, a request SHOULD be started of which the result is later signalled by <tp:member-ref>AliasesChanged</tp:member-ref>.

Parameters

proxy	A TpConnection or subclass
timeout_ms	Timeout in milliseconds, or -1 for default
in_Contacts	Used to pass an 'in' argument: An array of handles representing contacts
out_Aliases	Used to return an 'out' argument if `TRUE` is returned: A dictionary mapping contact handles to aliases
error	If not `NULL`, used to return errors if `FALSE` is returned
loop	If not `NULL`, set before re-entering the main loop, to point to a GMainLoop which can be used to cancel this call with `g_main_loop_quit()`, causing a return of `FALSE` with `error` set to `TP_DBUS_ERROR_CANCELLED`

Returns

TRUE on success, FALSE and sets error on error

                               (TpConnection *proxy,
                                gint timeout_ms,
                                GHashTable *in_Aliases,
                                GError **error,
                                GMainLoop **loop);

tp_cli_connection_interface_aliasing_run_set_aliases is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Call the method SetAliases and run the main loop until it returns. Before calling this method, you must add a reference to any borrowed objects you need to keep, and generally ensure that everything is in a consistent state.

Request that the alias of the given contact be changed. Success will be indicated by emitting an <tp:member-ref>AliasesChanged</tp:member-ref> signal. On connections where the CONNECTION_ALIAS_FLAG_USER_SET flag is not set, this method will only ever succeed if the contact is the user's own handle (as returned by <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy">Connection.GetSelfHandle</tp:dbus-ref>).

Parameters

proxy	A TpConnection or subclass
timeout_ms	Timeout in milliseconds, or -1 for default
in_Aliases	Used to pass an 'in' argument: A dictionary mapping integer handles of contacts to strings of the new alias to set.
error	If not `NULL`, used to return errors if `FALSE` is returned
loop	If not `NULL`, set before re-entering the main loop, to point to a GMainLoop which can be used to cancel this call with `g_main_loop_quit()`, causing a return of `FALSE` with `error` set to `TP_DBUS_ERROR_CANCELLED`

Returns

TRUE on success, FALSE and sets error on error
