                                TpDBusPropertiesMixinIfaceInfo *info);

Declare that g_interface implements the given D-Bus interface, with the given properties. This may only be called once per GInterface, usually from a section of its base_init function that only runs once.

This is typically only used within generated code; there is normally no reason to call it manually.

                               (GType g_interface);

Retrieves the D-Bus property metadata for the given interface, if any. This function is typically not useful outside telepathy-glib itself, but may be useful for domain-specific variations on the theme of SetProperty. If in doubt, you probably don't need this function.

Signature of a callback used to get the value of a property.

For simplicity, in this mixin we don't allow getting a property to fail; implementations must always be prepared to return *something*.

tp_dbus_properties_mixin_class_init ()

void
tp_dbus_properties_mixin_class_init (GObjectClass *cls,
                                     gsize offset);

Initialize the class cls to use the D-Bus Properties mixin. The given struct member, of size sizeof(TpDBusPropertiesMixinClass), will be used to store property implementation information.

Each property and each interface must have been declared as a member of a GInterface implemented by cls , using tp_svc_interface_set_dbus_properties_info().

Before calling this function, the array interfaces must have been placed in the TpDBusPropertiesMixinClass structure; if it would be empty, it may instead be NULL.

This function should be called from the class_init callback in such a way that it will only be called once, even if the class is subclassed.

Changed in 0.7.9: TpDBusPropertiesMixinClass::interfaces may now be NULL, which means that only interfaces whose properties are set up using tp_dbus_properties_mixin_implement_interface() will be used.

Changed in 0.7.15: offset may now be 0, in which case the TpDBusPropertiesMixinClass can be omitted from cls . It is treated as if it were present, but with all fields (including TpDBusPropertiesMixinClass::interfaces) being NULL, so only interfaces whose properties are set using tp_dbus_properties_mixin_implement_interface() will be used.

                                TpDBusPropertiesMixinPropImpl *props);

Declare that, in addition to any interfaces set in tp_dbus_properties_mixin_class_init(), the given class (and its subclasses) will implement the properties of the interface iface using the callbacks getter and setter and the properties given by props .

This function should be called from the class_init callback in such a way that it will only be called once, even if the class is subclassed.

Typically, the static array interfaces in the TpDBusPropertiesMixinClass should be used for interfaces whose properties are implemented directly by the class cls , and this function should be used for interfaces whose properties are implemented by mixins.

It is an error for the same interface to appear in the array interfaces in the TpDBusPropertiesMixinClass, and also be set up by this function.

If a class C and a subclass S both implement the properties of the same interface, only the implementations from the subclass S will be used, regardless of whether the implementations in C and/or S were set up by this function or via the array interfaces in the TpDBusPropertiesMixinClass.

                              GError **error);

Initialize value with the type of the property property_name on interface_name , and write the value of that property into it as if by calling the D-Bus method org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get.

If Get would return a D-Bus error, value remains unset and error is filled in instead.

tp_dbus_properties_mixin_dup_all (GObject *self,

Sets a property to the value specified by value , as if by calling the D-Bus method org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set.

If Set would return a D-Bus error, sets error and returns FALSE

                                ...);

Retrieves the values of several D-Bus properties from an object, and adds them to a hash mapping the fully-qualified name of the property to its value. This is equivalent to calling tp_dbus_properties_mixin_get() for each property and adding it to the table yourself, with the proviso that this function will g_assert() if retrieving a property fails (for instance, because it does not exist).

Note that in particular, table does not have the same memory-allocation model as the hash tables required by tp_asv_set_string() and similar functions.

                                ...);

Retrieves the values of several D-Bus properties from an object, and builds a hash mapping the fully-qualified name of the property to its value. This is equivalent to calling tp_dbus_properties_mixin_get() for each property and building the table yourself, with the proviso that this function will g_assert() if retrieving a property fails (for instance, because it does not exist).

Additional keys and values can be inserted into the returned hash table; if this is done, the inserted keys and values will be freed when the hash table is destroyed. The keys must be allocated with g_strdup() or equivalent, and the values must be slice-allocated (for instance with tp_g_value_slice_new_string() or a similar function).

Note that in particular, tp_asv_set_string() and similar functions should not be used with this hash table.

Emits the PropertiesChanged signal for the provided properties. Depending on the EmitsChangedSignal annotations in the introspection XML, either the new value of the property will be included in the signal, or merely the fact that the property has changed.

For example, the MPRIS specification defines a TrackList interface with two properties, one of which is annotated with EmitsChangedSignal=true and one annotated with EmitsChangedSignal=invalidates. The following call would include the new value of CanEditTracks and list Tracks as invalidated:

1
2

const gchar *properties[] = { "CanEditTracks", "Tracks", NULL };

tp_dbus_properties_mixin_emit_properties_changed (G_OBJECT (self),

It is an error to pass a property to this function if the property is annotated with EmitsChangedSignal=false, or is unannotated.
