Function Documentation

void osso_deinitialize

(

osso_context_t *

osso

)

This function closes the message bus connections and frees all memory allocated by the Libosso context. This function renders the context to unusable state. osso_initialize has to be called again to get a valid Libosso context.

Parameters:

osso

The library reference as returned by osso_initialize.

osso_context_t* osso_initialize	(	const gchar *	application,
		const gchar *	version,
		gboolean	activation,
		GMainContext *	context
	)

This function initializes the library, connects to both the D-BUS session and system busses, integrates with the GLib main loop, and initializes the library for use. osso_initialize should be called only once by the application.

Parameters:

	application	The name of the application. This name forms the last part of the default (D-BUS) service name of the application. Note that the D-BUS service name will be 'com.nokia.application', where 'application' is the value you gave as the parameter. Note also that this argument must be identical to the X-Osso-Service value in the desktop file, or the D-BUS daemon will kill your application. If you do not want to use the default 'com.nokia' prefix, you must pass the whole D-Bus service name, e.g. 'org.maemo.my_app'. The only valid characters that the name may contain are letters a-z and the underscore '_'.
	version	The version string of the application. It must be comparable with strcmp().
	activation	This parameter is obsolete and does not have any effect.
	context	The GLib main loop context to connect to, or NULL for the default context.

Returns:

A context to use in later calls to this library. NULL is returned if an error happened.

osso_context_t* osso_initialize_with_connections	(	const gchar *	application,
		const gchar *	version,
		DBusConnection *	system_conn,
		DBusConnection *	session_conn
	)

This function initializes the library, using the D-Bus connections passed as arguments. Notice that dbus_connection_setup_with_g_main is not called for the D-Bus connections, allowing for the use of a custom main loop. Using a private (from dbus_bus_get_private) connection is also possible. osso_initialize_with_connections should be called only once by the application.

Parameters:

	application	The name of the application. This name forms the last part of the default (D-Bus) service name of the application. Note that the D-Bus service name will be 'com.nokia.application', where 'application' is the value you gave as the parameter. Note also that this argument must be identical to the X-Osso-Service value in the desktop file, or the D-Bus daemon will kill your application. If you do not want to use the default 'com.nokia' prefix, you must pass the whole D-Bus service name, e.g. 'org.maemo.my_app'. The only valid characters that the name may contain are letters a-z and the underscore '_'.
	version	The version string of the application. It must be comparable with strcmp().
	system_conn	D-Bus system bus connection.
	session_conn	D-Bus session bus connection.

Returns:

A context to use in later calls to this library. NULL is returned if an error happened.
