Description

A channel factory is attached to a connection. It carries out channel requests from the connection, and responds to channel-related events on the underlying network connection (e.g. incoming calls).

The connection has an array of channel factories. In a trivial implementation there might be a single channel factory which handles all requests and all incoming events, but in general, there will be multiple channel factories handling different types of channel.

TpChannelManager is a newer interface (introduced in telepathy-glib 0.7.15) for allocating and tracking channels which supports the Requests D-Bus interface introduced in version 0.17.11 of the specification. New connection managers should implement that interface instead, and existing connection managers should migrate to it.

Indicates the result of a channel request.

TP_CHANNEL_FACTORY_REQUEST_STATUS_INVALID_HANDLE Same as the Telepathy error InvalidHandle. *ret and *error are not set
TP_CHANNEL_FACTORY_REQUEST_STATUS_ERROR An error other than the above. *ret is not set, *error is set
TP_CHANNEL_FACTORY_REQUEST_STATUS_CREATED A new channel was created (possibly in response to more than one request). new-channel has already been emitted and *ret is set to the new channel.
TP_CHANNEL_FACTORY_REQUEST_STATUS_QUEUED A new channel will be created, or was created but is not ready yet. Either new-channel or channel-error will be emitted later. *ret and *error are not set.
TP_CHANNEL_FACTORY_REQUEST_STATUS_EXISTING An existing channel satisfies the request: new-channel was not emitted. *ret is set to the existing channel.

Emitted when a new channel has been created, but an error occurred before it could become useful.

request is the same as for "new-channel".

self : an object implementing TpChannelFactoryIface
channel : an object implementing TpChannelIface
error : the GError that made the channel request fail
request_context : a request context as passed to tp_channel_factory_iface_request(), or NULL
user_data : user data set when the signal handler was connected.

The "new-channel" signal

void                user_function                      (TpChannelFactoryIface *self,
                                                        GObject               *channel,

Emitted when a new channel has been created.

If the channel was created in response to a channel request, the request was for a nonzero handle type, and the channel has zero handle type, request_context will be the request context passed to tp_channel_factory_iface_request().

Otherwise, request may either be NULL or a request that led to channel's creation; callers are expected to determine which channels satisfy which requests based on the handle and handle-type.

self : an object implementing TpChannelFactoryIface
channel : a new channel (an object implementing TpChannelIface)
request_context : a request context as passed to tp_channel_factory_iface_request(), or NULL
user_data : user data set when the signal handler was connected.
