List the bus names of all the connections that currently exist, together with the connection manager name and the protocol name for each connection. Call the callback when done.

The bus names passed to the callback can be used to construct TpConnection objects for any connections that are of interest.

                                                         GMainLoop **loop);

If self is connected and ready for use, return immediately. Otherwise, call Connect() (unless connect is FALSE) and re-enter the main loop until the connection becomes invalid, the connection connects successfully and is introspected, or the main loop stored via loop is cancelled.

Since 0.7.1

TpConnectionWhenReadyCb ()

void                (*TpConnectionWhenReadyCb)          (TpConnection *connection,
                                                         const GError *error,
                                                         gpointer user_data);

Signature of a callback passed to tp_connection_call_when_ready(), which will be called exactly once, when the connection becomes ready or invalid (whichever happens first)

tp_connection_call_when_ready ()

void                tp_connection_call_when_ready       (TpConnection *self,
                                                         TpConnectionWhenReadyCb callback,
                                                         gpointer user_data);

If self is ready for use or has been invalidated, call callback immediately, then return. Otherwise, arrange for callback to be called when self either becomes ready for use or becomes invalid.

Note that if the connection is not in state CONNECTED, the callback will not be called until the connection either goes to state CONNECTED or is invalidated (e.g. by going to state DISCONNECTED or by becoming unreferenced). In particular, this method does not call Connect(). Call tp_cli_connection_call_connect() too, if you want to do that.

Since 0.7.7

tp_connection_is_ready ()

gboolean            tp_connection_is_ready              (TpConnection *self);

Returns the same thing as the "connection-ready" property.

Since 0.7.17

tp_connection_get_status ()

TpConnectionStatus  tp_connection_get_status            (TpConnection *self,
                                                         TpConnectionStatusReason *reason);

If reason is not NULL it is set to the reason why "status" changed to its current value, or TP_CONNECTION_STATUS_REASON_NONE_SPECIFIED if unknown.

Since 0.7.14

tp_connection_get_self_handle ()

TpHandle            tp_connection_get_self_handle       (TpConnection *self);

Return the TP_HANDLE_TYPE_CONTACT handle of the local user on this connection, or 0 if the connection is not ready (the TpConnection:connection-ready property is false) or has become invalid (the TpProxy::invalidated signal).

The returned handle is not necessarily valid forever (the notify::self-handle signal will be emitted if it changes, which can happen on protocols such as IRC). Construct a TpContact object if you want to track the local user's identifier in the protocol, or other information like their presence status, over time.

Since 0.7.26

TpConnectionRequestHandlesCb ()

void                (*TpConnectionRequestHandlesCb)     (TpConnection *connection,
                                                         TpHandleType handle_type,

                                                         GObject *weak_object);

Signature of the callback called when tp_connection_request_handles() succeeds or fails.

On success, the caller has one reference to each handle in handles, which may be released later with tp_connection_unref_handles(). If not released, the handles will remain valid until connection becomes invalid (signalled by TpProxy::invalidated).

For convenience, the handle type and IDs requested by the caller are passed through to this callback, so the caller does not have to include them in user_data.

tp_connection_request_handles ()

void                tp_connection_request_handles       (TpConnection *self,
                                                         gint timeout_ms,

                                                         GObject *weak_object);

Request the handles corresponding to the given identifiers, and if they are valid, hold (ensure a reference to) the corresponding handles.

If they are valid, the callback will later be called with the given handles; if not all of them are valid, the callback will be called with an error.

TpConnectionHoldHandlesCb ()

void                (*TpConnectionHoldHandlesCb)        (TpConnection *connection,
                                                         TpHandleType handle_type,

                                                         const GError *error,
                                                         gpointer user_data,
                                                         GObject *weak_object);

Signature of the callback called when tp_connection_hold_handles() succeeds or fails.

On success, the caller has one reference to each handle in handles, which may be released later with tp_connection_unref_handles(). If not released, the handles will remain valid until connection becomes invalid (signalled by "invalidated").

For convenience, the handle type and handles requested by the caller are passed through to this callback on success, so the caller does not have to include them in user_data.

tp_connection_get_contact_attributes ()

void                tp_connection_get_contact_attributes
                                                        (TpConnection *self,
                                                         gint timeout_ms,
                                                         guint n_handles,
                                                         const TpHandle *handles,
                                                         const gchar * const *interfaces,
                                                         gboolean hold,
                                                         tp_cli_connection_interface_contacts_callback_for_get_contact_attributes callback,
                                                         gpointer user_data,
                                                         GDestroyNotify destroy,
                                                         GObject *weak_object);

Return (via a callback) any number of attributes of the given handles, and if they are valid and hold is TRUE, hold a reference to them.

This is a thin wrapper around the GetContactAttributes D-Bus method, and should be used in preference to tp_cli_connection_interface_contacts_get_contact_attributes(); mixing this function, tp_connection_hold_handles(), tp_connection_unref_handles(), and TpContact with direct use of the RequestHandles, HoldHandles and GetContactAttributes D-Bus methods is unwise, as TpConnection and TpContact perform client-side reference counting of handles. The TpContact API provides a higher-level abstraction which should usually be used instead.

callback will later be called with the attributes of those of the given handles that were valid. Invalid handles are simply omitted from the parameter to the callback.

If hold is TRUE, the callback is given one reference to each handle that appears as a key in the callback's attributes parameter.

tp_connection_hold_handles ()

void                tp_connection_hold_handles          (TpConnection *self,
                                                         gint timeout_ms,
                                                         TpHandleType handle_type,
                                                         guint n_handles,
                                                         const TpHandle *handles,
                                                         TpConnectionHoldHandlesCb callback,
                                                         gpointer user_data,
                                                         GDestroyNotify destroy,
                                                         GObject *weak_object);

Hold (ensure a reference to) the given handles, if they are valid.

If they are valid, the callback will later be called with the given handles; if not all of them are valid, the callback will be called with an error.

This function, along with tp_connection_unref_handles(), tp_connection_get_contact_attributes() and TpContact, keeps a client-side reference count of handles; you should not use the RequestHandles, HoldHandles and GetContactAttributes D-Bus methods directly as well as these functions.

tp_connection_unref_handles ()

void                tp_connection_unref_handles         (TpConnection *self,
                                                         TpHandleType handle_type,
                                                         guint n_handles,
                                                         const TpHandle *handles);

Release the reference to the handles in handles that was obtained by calling tp_connection_hold_handles() or tp_connection_request_handles().

This function might release any references held by calling tp_cli_connection_call_request_handles(), tp_cli_connection_run_request_handles(), tp_cli_connection_call_hold_handles(), tp_cli_connection_run_hold_handles(), tp_cli_connection_interface_contacts_call_get_contact_attributes() or tp_cli_connection_interface_contacts_run_get_contact_attributes() directly. Those functions should be avoided in favour of using TpContact, tp_connection_hold_handles(), tp_connection_request_handles() and tp_connection_get_contact_attributes(), which along with this function perform client-side reference counting of handles.

If self has already become invalid, this function does nothing.

tp_connection_init_known_interfaces ()

void                tp_connection_init_known_interfaces (void);

Ensure that the known interfaces for TpConnection have been set up. This is done automatically when necessary, but for correct overriding of library interfaces by local extensions, you should call this function before calling tp_proxy_or_subclass_hook_on_interface_add() with first argument TP_TYPE_CONNECTION.

                                                         TpConnectionPresenceType p2);

Start a RequestHandles method call.

Request several handles from the connection manager which represent a number of contacts, rooms or server-stored lists on the service. The connection manager should record that these handles are in use by the client who invokes this method, and must not deallocate the handles until the client disconnects from the bus or calls the <tp:member-ref>ReleaseHandles</tp:member-ref> method. Where the name refers to an entity that already has a handle in this connection manager, this handle should be returned instead. The handle number 0 must not be returned by the connection manager.

Call the method RequestHandles and run the main loop until it returns. Before calling this method, you must add a reference to any borrowed objects you need to keep, and generally ensure that everything is in a consistent state.

Request several handles from the connection manager which represent a number of contacts, rooms or server-stored lists on the service. The connection manager should record that these handles are in use by the client who invokes this method, and must not deallocate the handles until the client disconnects from the bus or calls the <tp:member-ref>ReleaseHandles</tp:member-ref> method. Where the name refers to an entity that already has a handle in this connection manager, this handle should be returned instead. The handle number 0 must not be returned by the connection manager.

The "connection-ready" property

  "connection-ready"         gboolean              : Read

Initially FALSE; changes to TRUE when the connection has gone to CONNECTED status, introspection has finished and it's ready for use.

By the time this property becomes TRUE, any extra interfaces will have been set up and the "interfaces" property will have been populated.

Default value: FALSE

The "self-handle" property

  "self-handle"              guint                 : Read

The TP_HANDLE_TYPE_CONTACT handle of the local user on this connection, or 0 if we don't know yet or if the connection has become invalid.

Default value: 0

The "status" property

  "status"                   guint                 : Read

This connection's status, or TP_UNKNOWN_CONNECTION_STATUS if we don't know yet.

Default value: 4294967295

The "status-reason" property

  "status-reason"            guint                 : Read

The reason why "status" changed to its current value, or TP_CONNECTION_STATUS_REASON_NONE_SPECIFIED if unknown. know yet.
