in_Account |
Used to pass an 'in' argument: The <tp:dbus-ref namespace="im.telepathy.v1">Account</tp:dbus-ref> with which the channel is associated. The well-known bus name to use is that of the <tp:dbus-ref namespace="im.telepathy.v1">AccountManager</tp:dbus-ref>. |

in_Connection |
Used to pass an 'in' argument: The <tp:dbus-ref namespace="im.telepathy.v1">Connection</tp:dbus-ref> with which the channel is associated. The well-known bus name to use can be derived from this object path by removing the leading '/' and replacing all subsequent '/' by '.'. |

in_Requests_Satisfied |
Used to pass an 'in' argument: The <tp:dbus-ref namespace="im.telepathy.v1">ChannelRequest</tp:dbus-ref>s satisfied by this channel. <tp:rationale> If the same process is an Observer and a Handler, it can be useful to be given this information as soon as possible (it will also be passed to <tp:dbus-ref namespace="im.telepathy.v1.Client">Handler.HandleChannel</tp:dbus-ref>). </tp:rationale> |

in_Observer_Info |
Used to pass an 'in' argument: <tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <p>Additional information about this channel. Currently defined keys are:</p> <dl> <dt><code>recovering</code> - b</dt> <dd><code>True</code> if ObserveChannel was called for an existing channel (due to the <tp:member-ref>Recover</tp:member-ref> property being <code>True</code>); <code>False</code> or omitted otherwise. <tp:rationale> This allows observers to distinguish between new channels (the normal case), and existing channels that were given to the observer in order to catch up on previous events (perhaps after a previous instance of the same observer crashed). </tp:rationale> </dd> </dl> <p>All defined keys for this dictionary are optional; observers MAY safely ignore any entry in this dictionary.</p> |
