Description
The implementations of TpProxy subclasses and "mixin" functions need access to the underlying dbus-glib objects used to implement the TpProxy API.
Mixin functions to implement particular D-Bus interfaces should usually be auto-generated, by copying tools/glib-client-gen.py from telepathy-glib.
Details
tp_proxy_add_interface_by_id ()
DBusGProxy * tp_proxy_add_interface_by_id (TpProxy *self,GQuark iface);
Declare that this proxy supports a given interface.
To use methods and signals of that interface, either call
tp_proxy_get_interface_by_id() to get the DBusGProxy, or use the
tp_cli_* wrapper functions (strongly recommended).
If the interface is the proxy's "main interface", or has already been added, then do nothing.
|
the TpProxy, which must not have become "invalidated". |
|
quark representing the interface to be added |
Returns : |
either NULL or a borrowed DBusGProxy corresponding to iface,
depending on implementation details. To reliably borrow the DBusGProxy, use
tp_proxy_get_interface_by_id(). (This method should probably have
returned void; sorry.) |
Since 0.7.1
tp_proxy_add_interfaces ()
void tp_proxy_add_interfaces (TpProxy *self,const gchar * const *interfaces);
Declare that this proxy supports the given interfaces. Equivalent to calling
g_quark_from_string() followed by tp_proxy_add_interface_by_id() for each
of the interface names.
|
the TpProxy, which must not have become "invalidated". |
|
the names of the interfaces to be added |
Since 0.14.4
tp_proxy_borrow_interface_by_id ()
DBusGProxy * tp_proxy_borrow_interface_by_id (TpProxy *self,GQuark iface,GError **error);
Warning
tp_proxy_borrow_interface_by_id is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. Since 0.19.9. New code should use
tp_proxy_get_interface_by_id() instead.
|
the TpProxy |
|
quark representing the interface required |
|
used to raise an error in the TP_DBUS_ERRORS domain if iface
is invalid, self has been invalidated or self does not implement
iface
|
Returns : |
a borrowed reference to a DBusGProxy
for which the bus name and object path are the same as for self, but the
interface is as given (or NULL if an error is raised).
The reference is only valid as long as self is. |
Since 0.7.1
tp_proxy_get_interface_by_id ()
DBusGProxy * tp_proxy_get_interface_by_id (TpProxy *self,GQuark iface,GError **error);
|
the TpProxy |
|
quark representing the interface required |
|
used to raise an error in the TP_DBUS_ERRORS domain if iface
is invalid, self has been invalidated or self does not implement
iface
|
Returns : |
a borrowed reference to a DBusGProxy
for which the bus name and object path are the same as for self, but the
interface is as given (or NULL if an error is raised).
The reference is only valid as long as self is. |
Since 0.19.9
tp_proxy_invalidate ()
void tp_proxy_invalidate (TpProxy *self,const GError *error);
Mark self as having been invalidated - no further calls will work, and
if not already invalidated, the "invalidated" signal will be emitted
with the given error.
|
a proxy |
|
an error causing the invalidation |
Since 0.7.1
TpProxyInterfaceAddedCb ()
void (*TpProxyInterfaceAddedCb) (TpProxy *self,guint quark,DBusGProxy *proxy,gpointer unused);
The signature of a "interface-added" signal callback.
|
the proxy |
|
a quark whose string value is the interface being added |
|
the DBusGProxy for the added interface |
|
unused |
Since 0.7.1
tp_proxy_or_subclass_hook_on_interface_add ()
void tp_proxy_or_subclass_hook_on_interface_add (GType proxy_or_subclass,TpProxyInterfaceAddedCb callback);
Arrange for callback to be connected to "interface-added"
during the TpProxy constructor. This is done sufficiently early that
it will see the signal for the default interface (interface member of
TpProxyClass), if any, being added. The intended use is for the callback
to call dbus_g_proxy_add_signal() on the new DBusGProxy.
Since 0.7.6, to ensure correct overriding of interfaces that might be added to telepathy-glib, before calling this function you should call tp_proxy_init_known_interfaces, tp_connection_init_known_interfaces, tp_channel_init_known_interfaces etc. as appropriate for the subclass.
|
The GType of TpProxy or a subclass |
|
A signal handler for "interface-added" |
Since 0.7.1
tp_proxy_init_known_interfaces ()
void tp_proxy_init_known_interfaces (void);
Ensure that the known interfaces for TpProxy 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().
Functions like tp_connection_init_known_interfaces and tp_channel_init_known_interfaces do this automatically.
Since 0.7.6
tp_proxy_subclass_add_error_mapping ()
void tp_proxy_subclass_add_error_mapping (GType proxy_subclass,const gchar *static_prefix,GQuark domain,GType code_enum_type);
Register a mapping from D-Bus errors received from the given proxy subclass to GError instances.
When a D-Bus error is received, the TpProxy code checks for error mappings registered for the class of the proxy receiving the error, then for all of its parent classes.
If there is an error mapping for which the D-Bus error name
starts with the mapping's static_prefix, the proxy will check the
corresponding code_enum_type for a value whose value_nick is
the rest of the D-Bus error name (with the leading dot removed). If there
isn't such a value, it will continue to try other error mappings.
If a suitable error mapping and code are found, the GError that is raised
will have its error domain set to the domain from the error mapping,
and its error code taken from the enum represented by the code_enum_type.
If no suitable error mapping or code is found, the GError will have
error domain TP_DBUS_ERRORS and error code
TP_DBUS_ERROR_UNKNOWN_REMOTE_ERROR.
|
The GType of a subclass of TpProxy (which must not be TpProxy itself) |
|
A prefix for D-Bus error names, not including the trailing dot (which must remain valid forever, and should usually be in static storage) |
|

|
The type of a subclass of GEnumClass |
Since 0.7.1
tp_proxy_dbus_g_proxy_claim_for_signal_adding ()
gboolean tp_proxy_dbus_g_proxy_claim_for_signal_adding
(DBusGProxy *proxy);
Attempt to "claim" a DBusGProxy for addition of signal signatures.
If this function has not been called on proxy before, TRUE is
returned, and the caller may safely call dbus_g_proxy_add_signal()
on proxy. If this function has already been caled, FALSE is
returned, and the caller may not safely call dbus_g_proxy_add_signal().
This is intended for use by auto-generated signal-adding functions, to allow interfaces provided as local extensions to override those in telepathy-glib without causing assertion failures.
|
a DBusGProxy |
Returns : |
TRUE if it is safe to call dbus_g_proxy_add_signal()
|
Since 0.7.6
TpProxyInvokeFunc ()
void (*TpProxyInvokeFunc) (TpProxy *self,GError *error,GValueArray *args,GCallback callback,gpointer user_data,GObject *weak_object);
Signature of a callback invoked by the TpProxy machinery after a D-Bus method call has succeeded or failed. It is responsible for calling the user-supplied callback.
Because parts of dbus-glib aren't reentrant, this callback may be called from an idle handler shortly after the method call reply is received, rather than from the callback for the reply.
At most one of args and error can be non-NULL (implementations may
assert this). args and error may both be NULL if a method with no
"out" arguments (i.e. a method that returns nothing) was called
successfully.
The TpProxyInvokeFunc must call callback with user_data, weak_object,
and appropriate arguments derived from error and args. It is responsible
for freeing error and args, if their ownership has not been transferred.
|
the TpProxy on which the D-Bus method was invoked |
|
NULL if the method call succeeded, or a non-NULL error if the
method call failed |
|
array of "out" arguments (return values) for the D-Bus method,
or NULL if an error occurred or if there were no "out" arguments |
|
the callback that should be invoked, as passed to
tp_proxy_pending_call_v0_new()
|
|
user-supplied data to pass to the callback, as passed to
tp_proxy_pending_call_v0_new()
|
|
user-supplied object to pass to the callback, as passed to
tp_proxy_pending_call_v0_new()
|
Since 0.7.1
tp_proxy_pending_call_v0_new ()
TpProxyPendingCall * tp_proxy_pending_call_v0_new (TpProxy *self,GQuark iface,const gchar *member,DBusGProxy *iface_proxy,TpProxyInvokeFunc invoke_callback,GCallback callback,gpointer user_data,GDestroyNotify destroy,GObject *weak_object,gboolean cancel_must_raise);
Allocate a new pending call structure. After calling this function, the
caller must start an asynchronous D-Bus call and give the resulting
DBusGProxyCall to the pending call object using
tp_proxy_pending_call_v0_take_pending_call().
If dbus-glib gets a reply to the call before it's cancelled, the caller
must arrange for tp_proxy_pending_call_v0_take_results() to be called
with the results (the intention is for this to be done immediately
after dbus_g_proxy_end_call in the callback supplied to dbus-glib).
When dbus-glib discards its reference to the user_data supplied in the
asynchronous D-Bus call (i.e. after the call is cancelled or a reply
arrives), tp_proxy_pending_call_v0_completed must be called (the intention
is for the TpProxyPendingCall to be the user_data in the async call,
and for tp_proxy_pending_call_v0_completed to be the GDestroyNotify
passed to the same async call).
This function is for use by TpProxy subclass implementations only, and should usually only be called from code generated by tools/glib-client-gen.py.
|

|
user-supplied destructor for the data |
|
if not NULL, a GObject which will be weakly referenced by
the signal connection - if it is destroyed, the pending call will
automatically be cancelled |
|
if TRUE, the invoke_callback will be run with
error TP_DBUS_ERROR_CANCELLED if the call is cancelled by a call to
tp_proxy_pending_call_cancel() or by destruction of the weak_object;
if FALSE, the invoke_callback will not be run at all in these cases |
Returns : |
a new pending call structure |
Since 0.7.1
tp_proxy_pending_call_v0_completed ()
void tp_proxy_pending_call_v0_completed (gpointer p);
Indicate that dbus-glib has finished with this pending call, and therefore
either tp_proxy_pending_call_v0_take_results() has already been called,
or it will never be called. See tp_proxy_pending_call_v0_new().
The signature is chosen to match GDestroyNotify.
This function is for use by TpProxy subclass implementations only, and should usually only be called from code generated by tools/glib-client-gen.py.

Set the underlying pending call to be used by this object.
See also tp_proxy_pending_call_v0_new().
This function is for use by TpProxy subclass implementations only, and should usually only be called from code generated by tools/glib-client-gen.py.

This function is for use by TpProxy subclass implementations only, and should usually only be called from code generated by tools/glib-client-gen.py.
|
A pending call on which this function has not yet been called |
|
NULL if the call was successful, or an error (whose ownership
is taken over by the pending call object). Because of dbus-glib
idiosyncrasies, this must be the error produced by dbus-glib, not a copy. |
|
NULL if the call failed or had no "out" arguments, or an array
of "out" arguments (whose ownership is taken over by the pending call
object) |
Since 0.7.1
tp_proxy_signal_connection_v0_new ()
