Description

Some instant messaging protocols allow searching for contacts by name or other details. In Telepathy, each search attempt is represented as a Channel.

This section documents the auto-generated C wrappers for the Contact Search channel type.

Start a More method call.

<tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> Request that a search in <tp:member-ref>SearchState</tp:member-ref> <code>More_Available</code> move back to state <code>In_Progress</code> and continue listing up to <tp:member-ref>Limit</tp:member-ref> more results.

`proxy` :	the TpProxy
`timeout_ms` :	the timeout in milliseconds, or -1 to use the default
`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.

Start a Search method call.

Send a request to start a search for contacts on this connection. This may only be called while the <tp:member-ref>SearchState</tp:member-ref> is Not_Started; a valid search request will cause the <tp:member-ref>SearchStateChanged</tp:member-ref> signal to be emitted with the state In_Progress.

`proxy` :	the TpProxy
`timeout_ms` :	the timeout in milliseconds, or -1 to use the default
`in_Terms` :	Used to pass an 'in' argument: A dictionary mapping search key names to the desired values
`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.

Start a Stop method call.

If called while the SearchState is In_Progress, <tp:member-ref>SearchStateChanged</tp:member-ref> will be emitted, with the state Failed and the error <code>org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Error.<tp:error-ref>Cancelled</tp:error-ref></code>. Calling this method on a search in state Completed or Failed succeeds, but has no effect. <tp:rationale> Specifying Stop to succeed when the search has finished means that clients who call Stop just before receiving <tp:member-ref>SearchStateChanged</tp:member-ref> don't have to handle a useless error. </tp:rationale> Depending on the protocol, the connection manager may not be able to prevent the server from sending further results after this method returns; if this is the case, it MUST ignore any further results.

Connect a handler to the signal SearchResultReceived.

Emitted when a some search results are received from the server. This signal can be fired arbitrarily many times so clients MUST NOT assume they'll get only one signal.

`proxy` :	A TpChannel or subclass
`callback` :	Callback to be called when the signal is received
`user_data` :	User-supplied data for the callback
`destroy` :	Destructor for the user-supplied data, which will be called when this signal is disconnected, or before this function returns `NULL`
`weak_object` :	A GObject which will be weakly referenced; if it is destroyed, this callback will automatically be disconnected
`error` :	If not `NULL`, used to raise an error if `NULL` is returned
Returns :	a TpProxySignalConnection containing all of the above, which can be used to disconnect the signal; or `NULL` if the proxy does not have the desired interface or has become invalid.

Warning

tp_cli_channel_type_contact_search_run_more is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Call the method More 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.

`proxy` :	A TpChannel or subclass
`timeout_ms` :	Timeout in milliseconds, or -1 for default
`error` :	If not `NULL`, used to return errors if `FALSE` is returned
`loop` :	If not `NULL`, set before re-entering the main loop, to point to a GMainLoop which can be used to cancel this call with `g_main_loop_quit()`, causing a return of `FALSE` with `error` set to `TP_DBUS_ERROR_CANCELLED`
Returns :	TRUE on success, FALSE and sets `error` on error
