Description

Some instant messaging protocols allow searching for contacts by name or other details. In Telepathy, each search attempt is represented as a Channel.

This section documents the auto-generated C wrappers for the Contact Search channel type.

Functions

tp_cli_channel_type_contact_search1_call_more ()

TpProxyPendingCall *
tp_cli_channel_type_contact_search1_call_more
                               (TpChannel *proxy,
                                gint timeout_ms,
                                tp_cli_channel_type_contact_search1_callback_for_more callback,
                                gpointer user_data,
                                GDestroyNotify destroy,
                                GObject *weak_object);

Start a More method call.

<tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> Request that a search in <tp:member-ref>SearchState</tp:member-ref> <code>More_Available</code> move back to state <code>In_Progress</code> and continue listing up to <tp:member-ref>Limit</tp:member-ref> more results.

Parameters

proxy	the TpProxy
timeout_ms	the timeout in milliseconds, or -1 to use the default
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.

tp_cli_channel_type_contact_search1_call_search ()

TpProxyPendingCall *
tp_cli_channel_type_contact_search1_call_search
                               (TpChannel *proxy,
                                gint timeout_ms,
                                GHashTable *in_Terms,
                                tp_cli_channel_type_contact_search1_callback_for_search callback,
                                gpointer user_data,
                                GDestroyNotify destroy,
                                GObject *weak_object);

Start a Search method call.

Send a request to start a search for contacts on this connection. This may only be called while the <tp:member-ref>SearchState</tp:member-ref> is Not_Started; a valid search request will cause the <tp:member-ref>SearchStateChanged</tp:member-ref> signal to be emitted with the state In_Progress.

Parameters

proxy	the TpProxy
timeout_ms	the timeout in milliseconds, or -1 to use the default
in_Terms	Used to pass an 'in' argument: A dictionary mapping search key names to the desired values
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.

tp_cli_channel_type_contact_search1_call_stop ()

TpProxyPendingCall *
tp_cli_channel_type_contact_search1_call_stop
                               (TpChannel *proxy,
                                gint timeout_ms,
                                tp_cli_channel_type_contact_search1_callback_for_stop callback,
                                gpointer user_data,
                                GDestroyNotify destroy,
                                GObject *weak_object);

Start a Stop method call.

<tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> Stop the current search. This may not be called while the <tp:member-ref>SearchState</tp:member-ref> is Not_Started. If called while the SearchState is In_Progress, <tp:member-ref>SearchStateChanged</tp:member-ref> will be emitted, with the state Failed and the error <code>im.telepathy.v1.Error.<tp:error-ref>Cancelled</tp:error-ref></code>. Calling this method on a search in state Completed or Failed succeeds, but has no effect. <tp:rationale> Specifying Stop to succeed when the search has finished means that clients who call Stop just before receiving <tp:member-ref>SearchStateChanged</tp:member-ref> don't have to handle a useless error. </tp:rationale> Depending on the protocol, the connection manager may not be able to prevent the server from sending further results after this method returns; if this is the case, it MUST ignore any further results.

Parameters

proxy	the TpProxy
timeout_ms	the timeout in milliseconds, or -1 to use the default
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.

Connect a handler to the signal SearchResultReceived.

Emitted when a some search results are received from the server. This signal can be fired arbitrarily many times so clients MUST NOT assume they'll get only one signal.

Parameters

proxy	A TpChannel 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`
weak_object	A GObject which will be weakly referenced; if it is destroyed, this callback will automatically be disconnected
error	If not `NULL`, used to raise an error if `NULL` is returned

Returns

a TpProxySignalConnection containing all of the above, which can be used to disconnect the signal; or NULL if the proxy does not have the desired interface or has become invalid.
