Description

TpConnection objects represent Telepathy instant messaging connections accessed via D-Bus.

TpConnection objects should be obtained from a TpAccount, unless you are implementing a lower-level Telepathy component (such as the account manager service itself).

Since 0.16, TpConnection always has a non-NULL “factory”, and its “factory” will be propagated to its TpChannel objects (if any). Similarly, the “factory”'s features will be used for TpContact objects. If a TpConnection is created without going via the TpAccount or specifying a “factory”, the default is to use a new TpAutomaticClientFactory.

Functions

TpConnectionNameListCb ()

void
(*TpConnectionNameListCb) (const gchar * const *names,
                           gsize n,
                           const gchar * const *cms,

                           GObject *weak_object);

Signature of the callback supplied to tp_list_connection_names().

Parameters

names

NULL-terminated array of n connection bus names, or NULL on error.

[array zero-terminated=1]

n

number of names (not including the final NULL), or 0 on error

 

cms

NULL-terminated array of n connection manager names (e.g. "gabble") in the same order as names , or NULL on error.

[array zero-terminated=1]

protocols

NULL-terminated array of n protocol names as defined in the Telepathy spec (e.g. "jabber") in the same order as names , or NULL on error.

[array zero-terminated=1]

error

NULL on success, or an error that occurred

 

user_data

user-supplied data

 

weak_object

user-supplied weakly referenced object

 

Since: 0.7.1


tp_list_connection_names ()

void
tp_list_connection_names (TpDBusDaemon *bus_daemon,
                          TpConnectionNameListCb callback,
                          gpointer user_data,
                          GDestroyNotify destroy,
                          GObject *weak_object);

List the bus names of all the connections that currently exist, together with the connection manager name and the protocol name for each connection. Call the callback when done.

The bus names passed to the callback can be used to construct TpConnection objects for any connections that are of interest.

Parameters

bus_daemon

proxy for the D-Bus daemon

 

callback

callback to be called when listing the connections succeeds or fails; not called if the D-Bus connection fails completely or if the weak_object goes away

 

user_data

user-supplied data for the callback

 

destroy

callback to destroy the user-supplied data, called after callback , but also if the D-Bus connection fails or if the weak_object goes away

 

weak_object

if not NULL, will be weakly referenced; the callback will not be called if the object has vanished.

[allow-none]

Since: 0.7.1


tp_connection_new ()

TpConnection *
tp_connection_new (TpDBusDaemon *dbus,
                   const gchar *bus_name,
                   const gchar *object_path,
                   GError **error);

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

Use tp_simple_client_factory_ensure_connection() instead.

Parameters

dbus

a D-Bus daemon; may not be NULL

 

bus_name

the well-known or unique name of the connection process; if well-known, this function will make a blocking call to the bus daemon to resolve the unique name. May be NULL if object_path is not, in which case a well-known name will be derived from object_path .

[allow-none]

object_path

the object path of the connection process. May be NULL if bus_name is a well-known name, in which case the object path will be derived from bus_name .

[allow-none]

error

used to indicate the error if NULL is returned

 

Returns

a new connection proxy, or NULL if unique-name resolution fails or on invalid arguments

Since: 0.7.1


tp_connection_run_until_ready ()

gboolean
tp_connection_run_until_ready (TpConnection *self,
                               gboolean connect,
                               GError **error,
                               GMainLoop **loop);

tp_connection_run_until_ready has been deprecated since version 0.11.0 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use tp_proxy_prepare_async() and re-enter the main loop yourself, or restructure your program in such a way as to avoid re-entering the main loop.

If self is connected and ready for use, return immediately. Otherwise, call Connect() (unless connect is FALSE) and re-enter the main loop until the connection becomes invalid, the connection connects successfully and is introspected, or the main loop stored via loop is cancelled.

[skip]

Parameters

self

a connection

 

connect

if TRUE, call Connect() if it appears to be necessary; if FALSE, rely on Connect() to be called by another client

 

error

if not NULL and FALSE is returned, used to raise an error

 

loop

if not NULL, a GMainLoop is placed here while it is being run (so calling code can call g_main_loop_quit() to abort), and NULL is placed here after the loop has been run

 

Returns

TRUE if the connection is now connected and ready for use, FALSE if the connection has become invalid.

Since: 0.7.1


TpConnectionWhenReadyCb ()

void
(*TpConnectionWhenReadyCb) (TpConnection *connection,
                            const GError *error,
                            gpointer user_data);

TpConnectionWhenReadyCb has been deprecated since version 0.17.6 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Signature of a callback passed to tp_connection_call_when_ready(), which will be called exactly once, when the connection becomes ready or invalid (whichever happens first)

Parameters

connection

the connection (which may be in the middle of being disposed, if error is non-NULL, error->domain is TP_DBUS_ERRORS and error->code is TP_DBUS_ERROR_PROXY_UNREFERENCED)

 

error

NULL if the connection is ready for use, or the error with which it was invalidated if it is now invalid

 

user_data

whatever was passed to tp_connection_call_when_ready()

 

tp_connection_call_when_ready ()

void
tp_connection_call_when_ready (TpConnection *self,
                               TpConnectionWhenReadyCb callback,
                               gpointer user_data);

tp_connection_call_when_ready has been deprecated since version 0.17.6 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use tp_proxy_prepare_async()

If self is ready for use or has been invalidated, call callback immediately, then return. Otherwise, arrange for callback to be called when self either becomes ready for use or becomes invalid.

Note that if the connection is not in state CONNECTED, the callback will not be called until the connection either goes to state CONNECTED or is invalidated (e.g. by going to state DISCONNECTED or by becoming unreferenced). In particular, this method does not call Connect(). Call tp_cli_connection_call_connect() too, if you want to do that.

[skip]

Parameters

self

a connection

 

callback

called when the connection becomes ready or invalidated, whichever happens first

 

user_data

arbitrary user-supplied data passed to the callback

 

Since: 0.7.7


tp_connection_is_ready ()

gboolean
tp_connection_is_ready (TpConnection *self);

tp_connection_is_ready has been deprecated since version 0.17.6 and should not be used in newly-written code.

use tp_proxy_is_prepared() with TP_CONNECTION_FEATURE_CONNECTED

Returns the same thing as the “connection-ready” property.

[skip]

Parameters

self

a connection

 

Returns

TRUE if introspection has completed

Since: 0.7.17


tp_connection_disconnect_async ()

void
tp_connection_disconnect_async (TpConnection *self,

                                gpointer user_data);

Disconnect the connection.

This method is intended for use by AccountManager implementations, such as Mission Control. To disconnect a connection managed by an AccountManager, either use tp_account_request_presence_async() or tp_account_set_enabled_async(), depending whether the intention is to put the account offline temporarily, or disable it longer-term.

Parameters

self

a TpConnection

 

callback

a callback to call when the request is satisfied

 

user_data

data to pass to callback

 

Since: 0.17.5


tp_connection_disconnect_finish ()

                                 GAsyncResult *result,
                                 GError **error);

Interpret the result of tp_connection_disconnect_async().

Parameters

self

a TpConnection

 

result

a GAsyncResult

 

error

a GError to fill

 

Returns

TRUE if the call was successful, otherwise FALSE

Since: 0.17.5


tp_connection_get_account ()

TpAccount *
tp_connection_get_account (TpConnection *self);

Return the the TpAccount associated with this connection. Will return NULL if self was not acquired from a TpAccount via tp_account_get_connection(), or if the account object got finalized in the meantime (TpConnection does not keep a strong ref on its TpAccount).

Parameters

self

a connection

 

Returns

the account associated with this connection, or NULL.

[transfer none]

Since: 0.15.5


tp_connection_get_status ()

TpConnectionStatus
tp_connection_get_status (TpConnection *self,
                          TpConnectionStatusReason *reason);

If reason is not NULL it is set to the reason why "status" changed to its current value, or TP_CONNECTION_STATUS_REASON_NONE_SPECIFIED if unknown.

Parameters

self

a connection

 

reason

a TpConnectionStatusReason, or NULL.

[out]

Returns

This connection's status, or TP_UNKNOWN_CONNECTION_STATUS if we don't know yet.

Since: 0.7.14


tp_connection_get_connection_manager_name ()

const gchar *
tp_connection_get_connection_manager_name
                               (TpConnection *self);

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

Use tp_connection_get_cm_name() instead.

Parameters

self

a TpConnection

 

Returns

the same as the “connection-manager-name” property

Since: 0.13.16


tp_connection_get_cm_name ()

const gchar *
tp_connection_get_cm_name (TpConnection *self);

Parameters

self

a TpConnection

 

Returns

the same as the “cm-name” property

Since: 0.19.3


tp_connection_get_protocol_name ()

const gchar *
tp_connection_get_protocol_name (TpConnection *self);

Parameters

self

a TpConnection

 

Returns

the same as the “protocol-name” property

Since: 0.13.16


tp_connection_get_self_contact ()

TpContact *
tp_connection_get_self_contact (TpConnection *self);

Return a TpContact representing the local user on this connection.

The returned object is not necessarily valid after the main loop is re-entered; ref it with g_object_ref() if you want to keep it.

Parameters

self

a connection

 

Returns

the value of the TpConnection:self-contact property, which may be NULL.

[transfer none]

Since: 0.13.9


tp_connection_get_self_handle ()

TpHandle
tp_connection_get_self_handle (TpConnection *self);

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

Use tp_connection_get_self_contact() instead.

Return the TP_HANDLE_TYPE_CONTACT handle of the local user on this connection, or 0 if the self-handle is not known yet or the connection has become invalid (the TpProxy::invalidated signal).

The returned handle is not necessarily valid forever (the notify::self-handle signal will be emitted if it changes, which can happen on protocols such as IRC). Construct a TpContact object if you want to track the local user's identifier in the protocol, or other information like their presence status, over time.

Parameters

self

a connection

 

Returns

the value of the TpConnection:self-handle property

Since: 0.7.26


tp_connection_has_immortal_handles ()

gboolean
tp_connection_has_immortal_handles (TpConnection *self);

Return TRUE if this connection is known to not destroy handles (TpHandle) until it disconnects.

On such connections, if you know that a handle maps to a particular identifier now, then you can rely on that handle mapping to that identifier for the whole lifetime of the connection.

Parameters

self

a connection

 

Returns

TRUE if handles last as long as the connection itself


TpConnectionRequestHandlesCb ()

void
(*TpConnectionRequestHandlesCb) (TpConnection *connection,
                                 TpHandleType handle_type,
                                 guint n_handles,
                                 const TpHandle *handles,
                                 const gchar * const *ids,
                                 const GError *error,
                                 gpointer user_data,
                                 GObject *weak_object);

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

See tp_connection_request_handles().

Signature of the callback called when tp_connection_request_handles() succeeds or fails.

On success, the caller has a reference to each handle in handles .

Since telepathy-glib version 0.13.8, the handles will remain valid until connection becomes invalid (signalled by “invalidated”). In earlier versions, they could be released with tp_connection_unref_handles().

For convenience, the handle type and IDs requested by the caller are passed through to this callback, so the caller does not have to include them in user_data .

Parameters

connection

the connection

 

handle_type

the handle type that was passed to tp_connection_request_handles()

 

n_handles

the number of IDs that were passed to tp_connection_request_handles() on success, or 0 on failure

 

handles

the n_handles handles corresponding to ids , in the same order, or NULL on failure.

[element-type uint][array length=n_handles]

ids

a copy of the array of n_handles IDs that was passed to tp_connection_request_handles() on success, or NULL on failure.

[element-type utf8][array length=n_handles]

error

NULL on success, or an error on failure

 

user_data

the same arbitrary pointer that was passed to tp_connection_request_handles()

 

weak_object

the same object that was passed to tp_connection_request_handles()

 

tp_connection_request_handles ()

void
tp_connection_request_handles (TpConnection *self,
                               gint timeout_ms,
                               TpHandleType handle_type,
                               const gchar * const *ids,
                               TpConnectionRequestHandlesCb callback,
                               gpointer user_data,
                               GDestroyNotify destroy,
                               GObject *weak_object);

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

If handle_type is TP_HANDLE_TYPE_CONTACT, use tp_connection_dup_contact_by_id_async() instead. For channel requests, use tp_account_channel_request_set_target_id() instead.

Request the handles corresponding to the given identifiers, and if they are valid, hold (ensure a reference to) the corresponding handles.

If they are valid, the callback will later be called with the given handles; if not all of them are valid, the callback will be called with an error.

Parameters

self

a connection

 

timeout_ms

the timeout in milliseconds, or -1 to use the default

 

handle_type

the handle type

 

ids

an array of string identifiers for which handles are required, terminated by NULL (must not be NULL or empty).

[array zero-terminated=1]

callback

called on success or failure (unless weak_object has become unreferenced)

 

user_data

arbitrary user-supplied data

 

destroy

called to destroy user_data after calling callback , or when weak_object becomes unreferenced (whichever occurs sooner)

 

weak_object

if not NULL, an object to be weakly referenced: if it is destroyed, callback will not be called

 

TpConnectionHoldHandlesCb ()

void

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

See tp_connection_hold_handles().

Signature of the callback called when tp_connection_hold_handles() succeeds or fails.

On success, the caller has a reference to each handle in handles .

Since telepathy-glib version 0.13.8, the handles will remain valid until connection becomes invalid (signalled by “invalidated”). In earlier versions, they could be released with tp_connection_unref_handles().

For convenience, the handle type and handles requested by the caller are passed through to this callback on success, so the caller does not have to include them in user_data .

Parameters

connection

the connection

 

handle_type

the handle type that was passed to tp_connection_hold_handles()

 

n_handles

the number of handles that were passed to tp_connection_hold_handles() on success, or 0 on failure

 

handles

a copy of the array of n_handles handles that was passed to tp_connection_hold_handles() on success, or NULL on failure

 

error

NULL on success, or an error on failure

 

user_data

the same arbitrary pointer that was passed to tp_connection_hold_handles()

 

weak_object

the same object that was passed to tp_connection_hold_handles()

 

tp_connection_get_contact_attributes ()

void
tp_connection_get_contact_attributes (TpConnection *self,
                                      gint timeout_ms,
                                      guint n_handles,
                                      const TpHandle *handles,
                                      const gchar * const *interfaces,
                                      gboolean hold,
                                      tp_cli_connection_interface_contacts_callback_for_get_contact_attributes callback,
                                      gpointer user_data,
                                      GDestroyNotify destroy,
                                      GObject *weak_object);

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

Use tp_simple_client_factory_ensure_contact() instead.

Return (via a callback) any number of attributes of the given handles.

Since telepathy-glib version 0.13.8, the handles will remain valid until connection becomes invalid (signalled by “invalidated”). In earlier versions, if hold was TRUE, the callback would hold a reference to them which could be released with tp_connection_unref_handles().

This is a thin wrapper around the GetContactAttributes D-Bus method, and should be used in preference to tp_cli_connection_interface_contacts_call_get_contact_attributes(); mixing this function, tp_connection_hold_handles(), tp_connection_unref_handles(), and TpContact with direct use of the RequestHandles, HoldHandles and GetContactAttributes D-Bus methods is unwise, as TpConnection and TpContact perform client-side reference counting of handles. The TpContact API provides a higher-level abstraction which should usually be used instead.

callback will later be called with the attributes of those of the given handles that were valid. Invalid handles are simply omitted from the parameter to the callback.

If hold is TRUE, the callback is given one reference to each handle that appears as a key in the callback's attributes parameter.

Parameters

self

a connection

 

timeout_ms

the timeout in milliseconds, or -1 to use the default

 

n_handles

the number of handles in handles (must be at least 1)

 

handles

an array of handles.

[array length=n_handles]

interfaces

a GStrv of interfaces

 

hold

if TRUE, the callback will hold one reference to each valid handle

 

callback

called on success or failure (unless weak_object has become unreferenced).

[type GObject.Callback]

user_data

arbitrary user-supplied data

 

destroy

called to destroy user_data after calling callback , or when weak_object becomes unreferenced (whichever occurs sooner)

 

weak_object

if not NULL, an object to be weakly referenced: if it is destroyed, callback will not be called

 

tp_connection_get_contact_list_attributes ()

void
tp_connection_get_contact_list_attributes
                               (TpConnection *self,
                                gint timeout_ms,
                                const gchar * const *interfaces,
                                gboolean hold,

                                GObject *weak_object);

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

Use tp_connection_dup_contact_list() instead.

Return (via a callback) the contacts on the contact list and any number of their attributes.

Since telepathy-glib version 0.13.8, the handles will remain valid until connection becomes invalid (signalled by “invalidated”). In earlier versions, if hold was TRUE, the callback would hold a reference to them which could be released with tp_connection_unref_handles().

This is a thin wrapper around the RequestContactList D-Bus method, and should be used in preference to lower-level functions; it is similar to tp_connection_get_contact_attributes().

The TpContact API provides a higher-level abstraction which should usually be used instead.

If hold is TRUE, the callback is given a reference to each handle that appears as a key in the callback's attributes parameter.

Parameters

self

a connection

 

timeout_ms

the timeout in milliseconds (using a large timeout is recommended)

 

interfaces

a GStrv of interfaces

 

hold

if TRUE, the callback will hold one reference to each handle it receives

 

callback

called on success or failure (unless weak_object has become unreferenced).

[type GObject.Callback]

user_data

arbitrary user-supplied data

 

destroy

called to destroy user_data after calling callback , or when weak_object becomes unreferenced (whichever occurs sooner)

 

weak_object

if not NULL, an object to be weakly referenced: if it is destroyed, callback will not be called

 

tp_connection_hold_handles ()

void
tp_connection_hold_handles (TpConnection *self,
                            gint timeout_ms,
                            TpHandleType handle_type,
                            guint n_handles,
                            const TpHandle *handles,
                            TpConnectionHoldHandlesCb callback,
                            gpointer user_data,
                            GDestroyNotify destroy,
                            GObject *weak_object);

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

Holding handles is not needed with Connection Managers having immortal handles (any Connection Manager using telepathy-glib >= 0.13.8). Other Connection Managers are considered deprecated, clients wanting to still support them should continue using this deprecated function.

Hold (ensure a reference to) the given handles, if they are valid.

If they are valid, the callback will later be called with the given handles; if not all of them are valid, the callback will be called with an error.

This function, along with tp_connection_unref_handles(), tp_connection_get_contact_attributes() and TpContact, keeps a client-side reference count of handles; you should not use the RequestHandles, HoldHandles and GetContactAttributes D-Bus methods directly as well as these functions.

Parameters

self

a connection

 

timeout_ms

the timeout in milliseconds, or -1 to use the default

 

handle_type

the handle type

 

n_handles

the number of handles in handles (must be at least 1)

 

handles

an array of handles.

[array length=n_handles]

callback

called on success or failure (unless weak_object has become unreferenced)

 

user_data

arbitrary user-supplied data

 

destroy

called to destroy user_data after calling callback , or when weak_object becomes unreferenced (whichever occurs sooner)

 

weak_object

if not NULL, an object to be weakly referenced: if it is destroyed, callback will not be called

 

tp_connection_unref_handles ()

                             const TpHandle *handles);

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

This is no-op so can be safely removed.

Do nothing. In versions of telepathy-glib prior to 0.13.8, this released a reference to the handles in handles .

Parameters

self

a connection

 

handle_type

a handle type

 

n_handles

the number of handles in handles

 

handles

an array of n_handles handles.

[array length=n_handles]

tp_connection_init_known_interfaces ()

void
tp_connection_init_known_interfaces (void);

Ensure that the known interfaces for TpConnection have been set up. This is done automatically when necessary, but for correct overriding of library interfaces by local extensions, you should call this function before calling tp_proxy_or_subclass_hook_on_interface_add() with first argument TP_TYPE_CONNECTION.

                                gboolean invert);

Binds the :status of self to the boolean property of another object using a GBinding such that the target_property will be set to TRUE when self is connected (and invert is FALSE).

target_property will be synchronised immediately (G_BINDING_SYNC_CREATE). invert can be interpreted as analogous to G_BINDING_INVERT_BOOLEAN.

For instance, this function can be used to bind the GtkWidget:sensitive property to only make a widget sensitive when the account is connected.

See g_object_bind_property() for more information.

Parameters

self

a TpConnection

 

target

the target GObject

 

target_property

the property on target to bind (must be G_TYPE_BOOLEAN)

 

invert

TRUE if you wish to invert the value of target_property (i.e. FALSE if connected)

 

Returns

the GBinding instance representing the binding between the self and the target . The binding is released whenever the GBinding reference count reaches zero.

                           GStrv field_value);

Parameters

field_name

The name of the field; this is the lowercased name of a vCard field. For example, a field representing a contact's address would be named "adr".

 

parameters

A list of vCard type parameters applicable to this field, with their values. The type parameter names, and any values that are case-insensitive in vCard, MUST be in lower case. For example, a contact's preferred home address would have parameters 'type=home' and 'type=pref'.

 

field_value

For unstructured vCard fields (such as 'fn', a formatted name field), a single-element array containing the field's value. For structured fields (such as 'adr', an address field), an array corresponding to the semicolon-separated elements of the field (with empty strings for empty elements).

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

Call the method GetStatus 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.

Get the current status as defined in the <tp:member-ref>StatusChanged</tp:member-ref> signal.

Parameters

proxy

A TpConnection or subclass

 

timeout_ms

Timeout in milliseconds, or -1 for default

 

out_Status

Used to return an 'out' argument if TRUE is returned: The value of the <tp:member-ref>Status</tp:member-ref> property

 

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

user_data

user-supplied data passed to the callback; must be NULL if callback is NULL

 

destroy

called with the user_data as argument, after the call has succeeded, failed or been cancelled; must be NULL if callback is NULL

 

weak_object

If not NULL, a GObject which will be weakly referenced; if it is destroyed, this call will automatically be cancelled. Must be NULL if callback is NULL

 

Returns

a TpProxyPendingCall representing the call in progress. It is borrowed from the object, and will become invalid when the callback is called, the call is cancelled or the TpProxy becomes invalid.

Parameters

proxy

the TpProxy

 

timeout_ms

the timeout in milliseconds, or -1 to use the default

 

in_Type

Used to pass an 'in' argument: A D-Bus interface name representing base channel type

 

in_Handle_Type

Used to pass an 'in' argument: An integer representing the handle type, or Handle_Type_None if no handle is specified (TpHandleType)

 

in_Handle

Used to pass an 'in' argument: A nonzero integer handle representing a contact, room, list etc. according to handle_type, or zero if the handle_type is Handle_Type_None (TpHandle)

 

in_Suppress_Handler

Used to pass an 'in' argument: <p>Clients SHOULD always set this to true.</p> <tp:rationale> <p>The historical meaning was that clients that did not intend to take responsibility for displaying the channel to the user could set this to FALSE, in which case the channel dispatcher would launch an appropriate channel handler.</p> <p>However, clients whose functionality relies on having a working channel dispatcher should obtain that functionality by calling methods on the channel dispatcher, so that they will get an appropriate error if the channel dispatcher is missing or not working.</p> <p>The channel dispatcher itself should set this to true too, so that it will ignore the <tp:member-ref>NewChannel</tp:member-ref> signal that results from the creation of the channel. It can then dispatch the channel returned from this method to an appropriate handler.</p> <p>So, there is no sensible use-case for setting this to false, and setting it to false can result in unhandled channels (in the case where clients assume that a channel dispatcher is present, but it isn't).</p> </tp:rationale>

 

callback

called when the method call succeeds or fails; may be NULL to make a "fire and forget" call with no reply tracking

 

user_data

user-supplied data passed to the callback; must be NULL if callback is NULL

 

destroy

called with the user_data as argument, after the call has succeeded, failed or been cancelled; must be NULL if callback is NULL

 

weak_object

If not NULL, a GObject which will be weakly referenced; if it is destroyed, this call will automatically be cancelled. Must be NULL if callback is NULL

 

Returns

a TpProxyPendingCall representing the call in progress. It is borrowed from the object, and will become invalid when the callback is called, the call is cancelled or the TpProxy becomes invalid.

Parameters

proxy

A TpConnection or subclass

 

callback

Callback to be called when the signal is received

 

user_data

User-supplied data for the callback

 

destroy

Destructor for the user-supplied data, which will be called when this signal is disconnected, or before this function returns NULL

Parameters

proxy

The proxy on which tp_cli_connection_connect_to_connection_error() was called

 

arg_Error

The name of a D-Bus error describing the error that occurred, which may correspond to a <tp:type>Connection_Status_Reason</tp:type>, or may be a more specific Telepathy error (such as <code>org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Error.ConnectionRefused</code> for Connection_Status_Reason_Network_Error) or a protocol-specific or connection-manager-specific error in a suitable namespace. <tp:rationale> For instance, a SIP connection manager could signal &quot;402 Payment Required&quot; as an error in a connection-manager-specific namespace, or a link-local XMPP implementation that used Avahi could provide the error given to it by the avahi-daemon. </tp:rationale>

 

arg_Details

Connect a handler to the signal ConnectionError.

<tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <p>Emitted when an error occurs that renders this connection unusable. </p> <p>Whenever this signal is emitted, it MUST immediately be followed by a <tp:member-ref>StatusChanged</tp:member-ref> signal with status Connection_Status_Disconnected and an appropriate reason code.</p> <p>Connection managers SHOULD emit this signal on disconnection, but need not do so. Clients MUST support connection managers that emit StatusChanged(Disconnected, ...) without first emitting ConnectionError.</p> <tp:rationale> <p>This signal provides additional information about the reason for disconnection. The reason for connection is always straightforward - it was requested - so it does not need further explanation. However, on errors, it can be useful to provide additional information.</p> <p>The <tp:type>Connection_Status_Reason</tp:type> is not given here, since it will be signalled in <tp:member-ref>StatusChanged</tp:member-ref>. A reasonable client implementation would be to store the information given by this signal until StatusChanged is received, at which point the information given by this signal can be used to supplement the StatusChanged signal.</p> </tp:rationale>

Parameters

tp_cli_connection_call_add_client_interest ()

TpProxyPendingCall *
tp_cli_connection_call_add_client_interest
                               (TpConnection *proxy,
                                gint timeout_ms,

                                GObject *weak_object);

Start a AddClientInterest method call.

<tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <p>Register a client's interest in notifications related to one or more interfaces.</p> <p>Groups of notifications are identified by a token which is either a D-Bus interface name, or a string that starts with a D-Bus interface name. The meaning of each token is given by that D-Bus interface, which MUST define it in its documentation.</p> <tp:rationale> <p>Initially, all interests are in entire interface, but allowing other strings allows subscription to part of an interface; for instance, an interest in ...MailNotification/count could track the number of messages without caring about their detailed content.</p> </tp:rationale> <p>For each token with which this method interacts, the Connection tracks an &quot;interest count&quot; (like a reference count) for each unique bus name that has called this method. When a client calls this method, for each token, the interest count for its unique bus name is incremented; when <tp:member-ref>RemoveClientInterest</tp:member-ref> is called, all interest counts for that unique bus name are decremented. If the unique bus name leaves the bus (for instance, if the client crashes or exits), all interest counts for that unique bus name are set to zero.</p> <p>The Connection can then use these reference counts to avoid subscribing to protocol-level notifications unless at least one client has a non-zero interest count for the relevant token.</p> <tp:rationale> <p>This method exists to reduce memory and network overhead when there is no active subscription.</p> <p>One situation where this is useful is <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Connection.Interface">Location</tp:dbus-ref>: on XMPP, location updates are received over PEP. If the Connection advertises the <code>geoloc+notify</code> capability, it will be sent location updates for all contacts. To avoid consuming resources for this, the connection should avoid advertising that capability until a client has expressed an interest in contacts' locations.</p> <p>Another example of a protocol that benefits from this method is the Google XMPP Mail Notification extension, which can be used to implement <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Connection.Interface">MailNotification</tp:dbus-ref>. In this protocol, the CM receives a notification that something has changed, but to get more information, the CM must request this information. Knowing that nobody is currently interested in this information, the CM can avoid generating useless network traffic. Similarly, the CM may free the list of unread messages to reduce memory overhead.</p> </tp:rationale> <p>If this method is called for an interface that might require protocol-level subscription, but the connection cannot set up that subscription yet (for instance because the <tp:member-ref>Status</tp:member-ref> is not Connected yet), the Connection MUST remember the client's interest, and attempt to subscribe to the appropriate protocol feature when this becomes possible.</p> <p>Clients MAY ignore any errors raised by this method; it is intended to be called with the reply ignored.</p> <tp:rationale> <p>The only reason it could fail is if it's unimplemented, in which case the only thing the client can usefully do is to proceed as if it had succeeded.</p> </tp:rationale>

Parameters

proxy

the TpProxy

 

timeout_ms

the timeout in milliseconds, or -1 to use the default

 

in_Tokens

Used to pass an 'in' argument: <tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <p>Interfaces or parts of interfaces in which to register an interest, represented by either a <tp:type>DBus_Interface</tp:type>, or a string prefixed with a <tp:type>DBus_Interface</tp:type>.</p> <p>If the Connection does not support one of these tokens, this is not considered to be an error; the unsupported token is simply ignored.</p>

 

callback

called when the method call succeeds or fails; may be NULL to make a "fire and forget" call with no reply tracking

 

user_data

user-supplied data passed to the callback; must be NULL if callback is NULL

 

destroy

called with the user_data as argument, after the call has succeeded, failed or been cancelled; must be NULL if callback is NULL

 

weak_object

If not NULL, a GObject which will be weakly referenced; if it is destroyed, this call will automatically be cancelled. Must be NULL if callback is NULL

 

Returns

a TpProxyPendingCall representing the call in progress. It is borrowed from the object, and will become invalid when the callback is called, the call is cancelled or the TpProxy becomes invalid.

Start a RemoveClientInterest method call.

<tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <p>Release an interest registered using <tp:member-ref>AddClientInterest</tp:member-ref>. See that method's documentation for details.</p> <p>Clients MAY ignore any errors raised by this method; it is intended to be called with the reply ignored.</p> <tp:rationale> <p>The only reasons it could fail are if it's unimplemented, or if the client's reference-counting is wrong and it has tried to remove a client interest that it did not add. In both cases, there's nothing the client could do about it.</p> </tp:rationale>

Parameters

proxy

the TpProxy

TP_CONNECTION_FEATURE_CORE

#define             TP_CONNECTION_FEATURE_CORE

Expands to a call to a function that returns a quark for the "core" feature on a TpConnection.

When this feature is prepared, the basic properties of the Connection have been retrieved and are available for use, and change-notification has been set up for those that can change.

Specifically, this implies that:

prepared does not imply connected

Unlike the older “connection-ready” mechanism, this feature does not imply that the connection has successfully connected. It only implies that an initial status (disconnected, connecting or connected) has been discovered. TP_CONNECTION_FEATURE_CONNECTED is the closest equivalent of “connection-ready”.

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


TP_CONNECTION_FEATURE_CONNECTED

#define             TP_CONNECTION_FEATURE_CONNECTED

Expands to a call to a function that returns a GQuark representing the "connected" feature.

When this feature is prepared, it means that the connection has become connected to the appropriate real-time communications service, and all information requested via other features has been updated accordingly. In particular, the following aspects of TP_CONNECTION_FEATURE_CORE will be up to date:

Someone still has to call Connect()

Requesting this feature via tp_proxy_prepare_async() means that you want to wait for the connection to connect, but it doesn't actually start the process of connecting. For connections associated with a TpAccount, the account manager service is responsible for doing that, but if you are constructing connections directly (e.g. if you are implementing an account manager), you must tp_cli_connection_call_connect() separately.

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


TP_CONNECTION_FEATURE_CAPABILITIES

#define             TP_CONNECTION_FEATURE_CAPABILITIES

Expands to a call to a function that returns a GQuark representing the "capabilities" feature.

When this feature is prepared, the Requests.RequestableChannelClasses property of the Connection has been retrieved. In particular, the TpConnection:capabilities property has been set.

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


TP_CONNECTION_FEATURE_AVATAR_REQUIREMENTS

One can ask for a feature to be prepared using the tp_proxy_prepare_async() function, and waiting for it to callback.

Since: 0.11.7


TP_CONNECTION_FEATURE_BALANCE

#define             TP_CONNECTION_FEATURE_BALANCE

Expands to a call to a function that returns a GQuark representing the "balance" feature.

When this feature is prepared, the Balance.AccountBalance and Balance.ManageCreditURI properties of the Connection have been retrieved. In particular, the TpConnection:balance, TpConnection:balance-scale, TpConnection:balance-currency and TpConnection:balance-uri properties have been set and the TpConnection::balance-changed: will be emitted when they are changed.

One can ask for a feature to be prepared using the tp_proxy_prepare_async() function, and waiting for it to callback.

Since: 0.15.1


TP_CONNECTION_FEATURE_CONTACT_LIST

#define             TP_CONNECTION_FEATURE_CONTACT_LIST

Expands to a call to a function that returns a GQuark representing the "contact-list" feature.

When this feature is prepared, the TP_CONNECTION_FEATURE_CONTACT_LIST_PROPERTIES has been prepared, so the contact list properties of the Connection has been retrieved. If “contact-list-state” is TP_CONTACT_LIST_STATE_SUCCESS, all TpContact objects will also be created and prepared with the desired features. See tp_connection_dup_contact_list() to get the list of contacts, and tp_simple_client_factory_add_contact_features() to define which features needs to be prepared on them.

This feature will fail to prepare when using obsolete Telepathy connection managers which do not implement the ContactList interface.

One can ask for a feature to be prepared using the tp_proxy_prepare_async() function, and waiting for it to callback.

TP_CONNECTION_FEATURE_CONTACT_BLOCKING

#define             TP_CONNECTION_FEATURE_CONTACT_BLOCKING

Expands to a call to a function that returns a GQuark representing the "contact-blocking" feature.

When this feature is prepared, “blocked-contacts” will contain an up-to-date list of TpContacts the user has blocked, and “can-report-abusive” will indicate whether abusive contacts can be reported to the server administrator.

One can ask for a feature to be prepared using the tp_proxy_prepare_async() function, and waiting for it to callback.

Since: 0.17.0


TP_CONNECTION_FEATURE_ALIASING
