TpConnectionManagerListCb ()

void                (*TpConnectionManagerListCb)        (TpConnectionManager * const *cms,
                                                         gsize n_cms,

                                                         GObject *weak_object);

Signature of the callback supplied to tp_list_connection_managers().

Since 0.11.3, tp_list_connection_managers() will wait for TP_CONNECTION_MANAGER_FEATURE_CORE to be prepared on each connection manager passed to callback, unless an error occurred while launching that connection manager.

cms :

 NULL-terminated array of TpConnectionManager (the objects will be unreferenced and the array will be freed after the callback returns, so the callback must reference any CMs it stores a pointer to), or NULL on error. [array zero-terminated=1]

n_cms :

 number of connection managers in cms (not including the final NULL)

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_managers_async ()

void                tp_list_connection_managers_async   (TpDBusDaemon *dbus_daemon,
                                                         GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                                                         gpointer user_data);

List the available (running or installed) connection managers, asynchronously, and wait for their TP_CONNECTION_MANAGER_FEATURE_CORE feature to be ready.

dbus_daemon :

 a TpDBusDaemon, or NULL to use tp_dbus_daemon_dup(). [allow-none]

callback :

 a callback to call with a list of CMs

user_data :

 data to pass to callback

Since 0.17.6

tp_list_connection_managers_finish ()

GList *             tp_list_connection_managers_finish  (GAsyncResult *result,
                                                         GError **error);

Finish listing the available connection managers.

Free the list after use, for instance with g_list_free_full (list, g_object_unref).

result :

 the result of tp_list_connection_managers_async()

error :

 used to raise an error if the operation failed

Returns :

 a newly allocated list of references to TpConnectionManager objects. [transfer full][element-type TelepathyGLib.ConnectionManager]

Since 0.17.6

tp_list_connection_managers ()

void                tp_list_connection_managers         (TpDBusDaemon *bus_daemon,
                                                         TpConnectionManagerListCb callback,

Warning

tp_list_connection_managers is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. since 0.19.1, use tp_list_connection_managers_async()

List the available (running or installed) connection managers. Call the callback when done.

Since 0.7.26, this function will wait for each TpConnectionManager to be ready, so all connection managers passed to callback will have their TP_CONNECTION_MANAGER_FEATURE_CORE feature prepared, unless an error occurred while launching that connection manager.

bus_daemon :

 proxy for the D-Bus daemon

callback :

 callback to be called when listing the CMs succeeds or fails; not called 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 weak_object goes away

weak_object :

 if not NULL, will be weakly referenced; the callback will not be called, and the call will be cancelled, if the object has vanished. [allow-none]

Since 0.7.1

struct TpConnectionManager

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

struct TpConnectionManagerClass {
};

The class of a TpConnectionManager.

Since 0.7.1

tp_connection_manager_new ()

TpConnectionManager * tp_connection_manager_new         (TpDBusDaemon *dbus,
                                                         const gchar *name,
                                                         const gchar *manager_filename,
                                                         GError **error);

Convenience function to create a new connection manager proxy. If its protocol and parameter information are required, you should call tp_proxy_prepare_async() on the result.

dbus :

 Proxy for the D-Bus daemon

name :

 The connection manager name (such as "gabble")

manager_filename :

 The "manager-file" property, which may (and generally should) be NULL. [allow-none]

error :

 used to return an error if NULL is returned

Returns :

 a new reference to a connection manager proxy, or NULL if error is set.

tp_connection_manager_get_name ()

const gchar *       tp_connection_manager_get_name      (TpConnectionManager *self);

Return the internal name of this connection manager in the Telepathy D-Bus API, e.g. "gabble" or "haze". This is often the name of the binary without the "telepathy-" prefix.

The returned string is valid as long as self is. Copy it with g_strdup() if a longer lifetime is required.

self :

 a connection manager

Returns :

 the "cm-name" property

Since 0.7.26

TP_CONNECTION_MANAGER_FEATURE_CORE

#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

TpConnectionManagerWhenReadyCb ()

void                (*TpConnectionManagerWhenReadyCb)   (TpConnectionManager *cm,
                                                         const GError *error,
                                                         gpointer user_data,
                                                         GObject *weak_object);

Warning

TpConnectionManagerWhenReadyCb is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. since 0.17.6, use tp_proxy_prepare_async() instead

Called as the result of tp_connection_manager_call_when_ready(). If the connection manager's protocol and parameter information could be retrieved, error is NULL and cm is considered to be ready. Otherwise, error is non-NULL and cm is not ready.

cm :

 a connection manager

error :

 NULL on success, or the reason why tp_connection_manager_is_ready() would return FALSE

user_data :

 the user_data passed to tp_connection_manager_call_when_ready()

weak_object :

 the weak_object passed to tp_connection_manager_call_when_ready()

tp_connection_manager_call_when_ready ()

                                                         GObject *weak_object);

Warning

tp_connection_manager_call_when_ready is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. since 0.17.6, use tp_proxy_prepare_async() instead

Call the callback from the main loop when information about cm's supported protocols and parameters has been retrieved.

self :

 a connection manager

callback :

 callback to call when information has been retrieved or on error

user_data :

 arbitrary data to pass to the callback

destroy :

 called to destroy user_data

weak_object :

 object to reference weakly; if it is destroyed, callback will not be called, but destroy will still be called

Since 0.7.26

tp_connection_manager_is_ready ()

gboolean            tp_connection_manager_is_ready      (TpConnectionManager *self);

Warning

tp_connection_manager_is_ready is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. since 0.17.6, use tp_proxy_is_prepared() with TP_CONNECTION_MANAGER_FEATURE_CORE instead

If protocol and parameter information has been obtained from the connection manager or the cache in the .manager file, return TRUE. Otherwise, return FALSE.

This may change from FALSE to TRUE at any time that the main loop is running; the "notify" signal is emitted for the "info-source" property.

self :

 a connection manager

Returns :

 TRUE, unless the "info-source" property is TP_CM_INFO_SOURCE_NONE

Since 0.7.26

enum TpCMInfoSource

typedef enum {
  TP_CM_INFO_SOURCE_NONE,
  TP_CM_INFO_SOURCE_FILE,
  TP_CM_INFO_SOURCE_LIVE
} TpCMInfoSource;

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.

TP_CM_INFO_SOURCE_NONE

 no information available

TP_CM_INFO_SOURCE_FILE

 information came from a .manager file

TP_CM_INFO_SOURCE_LIVE

 information came from the connection manager

Since 0.7.1

TP_TYPE_CM_INFO_SOURCE

#define TP_TYPE_CM_INFO_SOURCE (tp_cm_info_source_get_type ())

The GEnumClass type of a TpCMInfoSource.

Since 0.11.5

tp_connection_manager_get_info_source ()

TpCMInfoSource      tp_connection_manager_get_info_source
                                                        (TpConnectionManager *self);

If protocol and parameter information has been obtained from the connection manager, return TP_CM_INFO_SOURCE_LIVE; if it has been obtained from the cache in the .manager file, return TP_CM_INFO_SOURCE_FILE. If this information has not yet been obtained, or obtaining it failed, return TP_CM_INFO_SOURCE_NONE.

This may increase at any time that the main loop is running; the "notify" signal is emitted.

self :

 a connection manager

Returns :

 the value of the "info-source" property

Since 0.7.26

tp_connection_manager_activate ()

gboolean            tp_connection_manager_activate      (TpConnectionManager *self);

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.

self :

 a connection manager proxy

Returns :

 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.

Since 0.7.1

tp_connection_manager_is_running ()

gboolean            tp_connection_manager_is_running    (TpConnectionManager *self);

Return TRUE if this connection manager currently appears to be running. This may change at any time that the main loop is running; the "activated" and "exited" signals are emitted.

self :

 a connection manager

Returns :

 whether the connection manager is currently running

Since 0.7.26

tp_connection_manager_dup_protocols ()

GList *             tp_connection_manager_dup_protocols (TpConnectionManager *self);

Return objects representing all protocols supported by this connection manager.

If this function is called before the connection manager information has been obtained, the result is always NULL. Use tp_proxy_prepare_async() to wait for this.

The caller must free the list, for instance with g_list_free_full (l, g_object_unref).

self :

 a connection manager

Returns :

 a list of TpProtocol objects representing the protocols supported by self, owned by the caller. [transfer full][element-type TelepathyGLib.Protocol]

Since 0.17.6

tp_connection_manager_dup_protocol_names ()

gchar **            tp_connection_manager_dup_protocol_names
                                                        (TpConnectionManager *self);

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. Use tp_proxy_prepare_async() to wait for this.

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.

self :

 a connection manager

Returns :

 a GStrv of protocol names. [array zero-terminated=1][transfer full]

Since 0.7.26

tp_connection_manager_has_protocol ()

gboolean            tp_connection_manager_has_protocol  (TpConnectionManager *self,
                                                         const gchar *protocol);

Return whether protocol is supported by this connection manager.

If this function is called before the connection manager information has been obtained, the result is always FALSE. Use tp_proxy_prepare_async() to wait for this.

self :

 a connection manager

protocol :

 the name of a protocol as defined in the Telepathy D-Bus API, e.g. "jabber" or "msn"

Returns :

 TRUE if this connection manager supports protocol

Since 0.7.26

tp_connection_manager_get_protocol ()

const TpConnectionManagerProtocol * tp_connection_manager_get_protocol
                                                        (TpConnectionManager *self,
                                                         const gchar *protocol);

Warning

tp_connection_manager_get_protocol is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. 0.19.1, use tp_connection_manager_get_protocol_object()

Returns a structure representing a protocol, or NULL if this connection manager does not support the specified protocol.

Since 0.11.11, you can get a GObject version with more functionality by calling tp_connection_manager_get_protocol_object().

If this function is called before the connection manager information has been obtained, the result is always NULL. Use tp_proxy_prepare_async() to wait for this.

The result is not necessarily valid after the main loop is re-entered. Since 0.11.3, it can be copied with tp_connection_manager_protocol_copy() if a permanently-valid copy is needed.

self :

 a connection manager

protocol :

 the name of a protocol as defined in the Telepathy D-Bus API, e.g. "jabber" or "msn"

Returns :

 a structure representing the protocol. [transfer none]

                                                         const gchar *protocol);

Returns an object representing a protocol, or NULL if this connection manager does not support the specified protocol.

If this function is called before the connection manager information has been obtained, the result is always NULL. Use tp_proxy_prepare_async() to wait for this.

The result should be referenced with g_object_ref() if it will be kept.

self :

 a connection manager

protocol :

 the name of a protocol as defined in the Telepathy D-Bus API, e.g. "jabber" or "msn"

Returns :

 an object representing the protocol, or NULL. [transfer none]

proxy :

 the TpProxy

timeout_ms :

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

in_Protocol :

 Used to pass an 'in' argument: The protocol identifier

in_Parameters :

 Used to pass an 'in' argument: A dictionary mapping parameter names to values of the appropriate type, as indicated by <tp:member-ref>GetParameters</tp:member-ref> and the well-known list of names and value types documented on the <tp:type>Connection_Parameter_Name</tp:type> type.

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.

Property Details

The "always-introspect" property

  "always-introspect"        gboolean              : Read / Write

If TRUE, always introspect the connection manager as it comes online, even if we already have its info from a .manager file. Default FALSE.

Default value: FALSE

The "cm-name" property

  "cm-name"                  gchar*                : Read

The name of the connection manager, e.g. "gabble" (read-only).

Default value: NULL

Since 0.19.3

The "connection-manager" property

  "connection-manager"       gchar*                : Read

Warning

TpConnectionManager:connection-manager is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. Use "cm-name" instead.

The name of the connection manager, e.g. "gabble" (read-only).

Default value: NULL

The "info-source" property

  "info-source"              guint                 : Read

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.)

Allowed values: <= 2

Default value: 0

The "manager-file" property

  "manager-file"             gchar*                : Read / Write / Construct

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.

Default value: NULL

Signal Details

The "activated" signal

void                user_function                      (TpConnectionManager *self,
                                                        gpointer             user_data)      : Has Details

Emitted when the connection manager's well-known name appears on the bus.

self :

 the connection manager proxy

user_data :

 user data set when the signal handler was connected.

The "exited" signal

void                user_function                      (TpConnectionManager *self,
                                                        gpointer             user_data)      : Has Details

Emitted when the connection manager's well-known name disappears from the bus or when activation fails.

self :

 the connection manager proxy

user_data :

 user data set when the signal handler was connected.

The "got-info" signal

void                user_function                      (TpConnectionManager *self,
                                                        guint                source,

Emitted when the connection manager's capabilities have been discovered.

This signal is not very helpful. Using tp_proxy_prepare_async() instead is recommended.

self :

 the connection manager proxy

source :

 a TpCMInfoSource

user_data :

 user data set when the signal handler was connected.
