struct TpDebugSender

struct TpDebugSender;

An object for exposing the Telepathy debug interface.

Since 0.7.36

tp_debug_sender_dup ()

TpDebugSender *     tp_debug_sender_dup                 (void);

Returns a TpDebugSender instance on the bus this process was activated by (if it was launched by D-Bus service activation), or the session bus (otherwise).

The returned TpDebugSender is cached; the same TpDebugSender object will be returned by this function repeatedly, as long as at least one reference exists.

Since 0.7.36

tp_debug_sender_add_message ()

void                tp_debug_sender_add_message         (TpDebugSender *self,
                                                         GTimeVal *timestamp,
                                                         const gchar *domain,
                                                         GLogLevelFlags level,
                                                         const gchar *string);

Adds a new message to the debug sender message queue. If the "enabled" property is set to TRUE, then a NewDebugMessage signal will be fired too.

tp_debug_sender_add_message_vprintf ()

void                tp_debug_sender_add_message_vprintf (TpDebugSender *self,
                                                         GTimeVal *timestamp,

                                                         va_list args);

Formats and adds a new message to the debug sender message queue. If the "enabled" property is set to TRUE, then a NewDebugMessage signal will be fired too.

tp_debug_sender_add_message_printf ()

void                tp_debug_sender_add_message_printf  (TpDebugSender *self,
                                                         GTimeVal *timestamp,

                                                         ...);

Formats and adds a new message to the debug sender message queue. If the "enabled" property is set to TRUE, then a NewDebugMessage signal will be fired too.

tp_debug_sender_log_handler ()

void                tp_debug_sender_log_handler         (const gchar *log_domain,
                                                         GLogLevelFlags log_level,
                                                         const gchar *message,
                                                         gpointer exclude);

A generic log handler designed to be used by CMs. It initially calls g_log_default_handler(), and then sends the message on the bus TpDebugSender.

The exclude parameter is designed to allow filtering one domain, instead of sending every message to the TpDebugSender: typical usage is for a process to filter out messages from its own G_LOG_DOMAIN, so that it can append a category to its own messages and pass them directly to tp_debug_sender_add_message. Note that every message, regardless of domain, is given to g_log_default_handler().

Note that a ref to a TpDebugSender must be kept at all times otherwise no messages given to the handler will be sent to the Telepathy debug interface.

An example of its usage, taking in mind the notes above, follows:

/* Create a main loop and debug sender */
GMainLoop *loop = g_main_loop_new (NULL, FALSE);
TpDebugSender *sender = tp_debug_sender_dup ();

/* Set the default handler */
g_log_set_default_handler (tp_debug_sender_log_handler, G_LOG_DOMAIN);

/* Run the main loop, but keeping a ref on the TpDebugSender from
 * the beginning of this code sample. */
g_main_loop_run (loop);

/* g_main_loop_quit was called, so only now can we clean up the
 * TpDebugSender. */
g_object_unref (sender);

(In a connection manager, replace g_main_loop_run() in the above example with tp_run_connection_manager().)

This function is merely for convenience if it meets the requirements. It can easily be re-implemented in services, and does not need to be used.

If timestamps should be prepended to messages (like in tp_debug_timestamped_log_handler()), tp_debug_sender_set_timestamps() should also be called.

Since version 0.11.15, this function can be called from any thread.

Since 0.7.36

tp_debug_sender_set_timestamps ()

void                tp_debug_sender_set_timestamps      (TpDebugSender *self,
                                                         gboolean maybe);

If the log handler is tp_debug_sender_log_handler() then calling this function with TRUE on the debug sender will prepend the message to be printed to stdout with the UTC time (currently in ISO 8601 format, with microsecond resolution). This is equivalent to using tp_debug_timestamped_log_handler() as the log handler, but also logging to the debug sender.

Since 0.15.5

The "enabled" property

  "enabled"                  gboolean              : Read / Write

TRUE if the NewDebugMessage signal should be emitted when a new debug message is generated.

Default value: FALSE
