Attempt to run and introspect the connection manager, asynchronously. Since 0.7.26 this function is not generally very useful, since the connection manager will now be activated automatically if necessary.
If the CM was already running, do nothing and return FALSE
.
On success, emit “activated” when the CM appears on the bus, and “got-info” when its capabilities have been (re-)discovered.
On failure, emit “exited” without first emitting activated.

TRUE
if activation was needed and is now in progress, FALSE
if the connection manager was already running and no additional signals
will be emitted.

Returns a list of protocol names supported by this connection manager. These are the internal protocol names used by the Telepathy specification (e.g. "jabber" and "msn"), rather than user-visible names in any particular locale.
If this function is called before the connection manager information has
been obtained, the result is always NULL

The result is copied and must be freed by the caller, but it is not necessarily still true after the main loop is re-entered.

if a permanently-valid copy is needed.

The method returns the bus name and the object path where the new Connection object can be found, which should have the status of Connection_Status_Disconnected, to allow signal handlers to be attached before connecting is started with the <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Connection">Connect</tp:dbus-ref> method.</p> <p><strong>Most applications should not use this method</strong>: they should instead use the the <tp:dbus-ref namespace="ofdT.Account">Connection</tp:dbus-ref> property on an <tp:dbus-ref namespace="ofdT">Account</tp:dbus-ref> object obtained from the <tp:dbus-ref namespace="ofdT">AccountManager</tp:dbus-ref>. This method is used internally by the account manager to create connections when needed.</p> <p>The parameters which must and may be provided in the parameters dictionary can be discovered with the <tp:member-ref>GetParameters</tp:member-ref> method. These parameters, their types, and their default values may be cached in files so that all available connection managers do not need to be started to discover which protocols are available.</p> <p>To request values for these parameters from the user, a client must have prior knowledge of the meaning of the parameter names, so the well-known names and types defined by the <tp:type>Connection_Parameter_Name</tp:type> type should be used where appropriate.</p> <p>Connection manager authors SHOULD avoid introducing parameters whose default values would not be serializable in a <code>.manager</code> file.</p> <tp:rationale> <p>The same serialization format is used in Mission Control to store accounts.</p> </tp:rationale> <p>Every successful RequestConnection call will cause the emission of a <tp:member-ref>NewConnection</tp:member-ref> signal for the same newly created connection. The requester can use the returned object path and service name independently of the emission of that signal. In that case this signal emission is most useful for, e.g. other processes that are monitoring the creation of new connections.</p>

struct TpConnectionManager;
A proxy object for a Telepathy connection manager.
This might represent a connection manager which is currently running (in which case it can be introspected) or not (in which case its capabilities can be read from .manager files in the filesystem). Accordingly, this object never emits “invalidated” unless all references to it are discarded.
Various fields and methods on this object do not work until
TP_CONNECTION_MANAGER_FEATURE_CORE
is prepared. Use
tp_proxy_prepare_async()
to wait for this to happen.
Since 0.19.1, accessing the fields of this struct is deprecated,
and they are no longer documented here.
Use the accessors tp_connection_manager_get_name()
,
tp_connection_manager_is_running()
,
tp_connection_manager_dup_protocols()
,
tp_connection_manager_get_info_source()
and the “always-introspect” property instead.
Since: 0.7.1
struct TpConnectionManagerClass { };
The class of a TpConnectionManager.
Since: 0.7.1
#define TP_CONNECTION_MANAGER_FEATURE_CORE
Expands to a call to a function that returns a quark for the "core" feature on a TpConnectionManager.
After this feature is prepared, basic information about the connection
manager's protocols (tp_connection_manager_dup_protocols()
), and their
available parameters, will have been retrieved, either by activating the
connection manager over D-Bus or by reading the .manager file in which
that information is cached.
Since 0.11.11, this feature also finds any extra interfaces that
this connection manager has, and adds them to “interfaces” (where
they can be queried with tp_proxy_has_interface()
).
(These are the same guarantees offered by the older
tp_connection_manager_call_when_ready()
mechanism.)
One can ask for a feature to be prepared using the
tp_proxy_prepare_async()
function, and waiting for it to callback.
Since: 0.11.3
Describes possible sources of information on connection managers' supported protocols.
Since 0.11.5, there is a corresponding GEnumClass type,
TP_TYPE_CM_INFO_SOURCE
.
Since: 0.7.1
#define TP_TYPE_CM_INFO_SOURCE (tp_cm_info_source_get_type ())
The GEnumClass type of a TpCMInfoSource.

struct TpConnectionManagerProtocol { gchar *name; TpConnectionManagerParam *params; };

“always-introspect”
property “always-introspect” gboolean
If TRUE
, always introspect the connection manager as it comes online,
even if we already have its info from a .manager file. Default FALSE
.
Owner: TpConnectionManager
Flags: Read / Write
Default value: FALSE
“cm-name”
property “cm-name” gchar *
The name of the connection manager, e.g. "gabble" (read-only).
Owner: TpConnectionManager
Flags: Read
Default value: NULL
Since: 0.19.3
“connection-manager”
property “connection-manager” gchar *
The name of the connection manager, e.g. "gabble" (read-only).
TpConnectionManager:connection-manager
is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.
Use “cm-name” instead.
Owner: TpConnectionManager
Flags: Read
Default value: NULL
“info-source”
property “info-source” guint
Where we got the current information on supported protocols (a TpCMInfoSource).
Since 0.7.26, the “notify” signal is emitted for this property.
(Note that this is of type G_TYPE_UINT
, not TP_TYPE_CM_INFO_SOURCE
,
for historical reasons.)
Owner: TpConnectionManager
Flags: Read
Allowed values: <= 2
Default value: 0
“manager-file”
property “manager-file” gchar *
The absolute path of the .manager file. If set to NULL
(the default),
the XDG data directories will be searched for a .manager file of the
correct name.
If set to the empty string, no .manager file will be read.

instead is recommended.
