TpBaseConnectionManager

TpBaseConnectionManager — base class for TpSvcConnectionManager implementations

Object Hierarchy

  GObject
   +----TpBaseConnectionManager

Implemented Interfaces

TpBaseConnectionManager implements TpSvcDBusProperties and TpSvcConnectionManager.

Properties

  "dbus-daemon"              TpDBusDaemon*         : Read / Write / Construct Only
  "interfaces"               GStrv                 : Read
  "protocols"                GHashTable_gchararray+GHashTable_gchararray+GValue__*  : Read

Description

This base class makes it easier to write TpSvcConnectionManager implementations by managing the D-Bus object path and bus name, and maintaining a table of active connections. Subclasses should usually only need to override the members of the class data structure.

Details

TpCMParamFilter ()

gboolean            (*TpCMParamFilter)                  (const TpCMParamSpec *paramspec,
                                                         GValue *value,
                                                         GError **error);

Signature of a callback used to validate and/or normalize user-provided CM parameter values.

paramspec :

The parameter specification. The filter is likely to use name (for the error message if the value is invalid) and filter_data.

value :

The value for that parameter provided by the user. May be changed to contain a different value of the same type, if some sort of normalization is required

error :

Used to raise TP_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT if the given value is rejected

Returns :

TRUE to accept, FALSE (with error set) to reject

tp_cm_param_filter_string_nonempty ()

gboolean            tp_cm_param_filter_string_nonempty  (const TpCMParamSpec *paramspec,
                                                         GValue *value,
                                                         GError **error);

A TpCMParamFilter which rejects empty strings.

paramspec :

The parameter specification for a string parameter

value :

A GValue containing a string, which will not be altered

error :

Used to return an error if the string is empty

Returns :

TRUE to accept, FALSE (with error set) to reject

tp_cm_param_filter_uint_nonzero ()

gboolean            tp_cm_param_filter_uint_nonzero     (const TpCMParamSpec *paramspec,
                                                         GValue *value,
                                                         GError **error);

A TpCMParamFilter which rejects zero, useful for server port numbers.

paramspec :

The parameter specification for a guint parameter

value :

A GValue containing a guint, which will not be altered

error :

Used to return an error if the guint is 0

Returns :

TRUE to accept, FALSE (with error set) to reject

TpCMParamSetter ()

void                (*TpCMParamSetter)                  (const TpCMParamSpec *paramspec,

The parameter specification. The setter is likely to use some combination of the name, offset and setter_data fields.

value :

The value for that parameter provided by the user.

params :

An opaque data structure, created by TpCMProtocolSpec.params_new.

Since 0.7.0


tp_cm_param_setter_offset ()

void                tp_cm_param_setter_offset           (const TpCMParamSpec *paramspec,
                                                         const GValue *value,
                                                         gpointer params);

A TpCMParamSetter which sets parameters by dereferencing an offset from params. If paramspec->offset is G_MAXSIZE, the parameter is deemed obsolete, and is accepted but ignored.

paramspec :

A parameter specification with offset set to some meaningful value.

value :

The value for that parameter, either provided by the user or constructed from the parameter's default.

params :

An opaque data structure such that the address at (params + paramspec->offset) is a valid pointer to a variable of the appropriate type.

Since 0.7.0


struct TpCMParamSpec

struct TpCMParamSpec {
    const gchar *name;
    const gchar *dtype;
    GType gtype;
    guint flags;
    gconstpointer def;
    gsize offset;

    TpCMParamFilter filter;
    gconstpointer filter_data;

    gconstpointer setter_data;
};

Structure representing a connection manager parameter, as accepted by RequestConnection.

In addition to the fields documented here, there is one gpointer field which must currently be NULL. A meaning may be defined for it in a future version of telepathy-glib.

const gchar *name;

Name as passed over D-Bus

const gchar *dtype;

D-Bus type signature. We currently support 16- and 32-bit integers (gtype is INT), 16- and 32-bit unsigned integers (gtype is UINT), strings (gtype is STRING) and booleans (gtype is BOOLEAN).

GType gtype;

GLib type, derived from dtype as above

guint flags;

Some combination of TpConnMgrParamFlags

gconstpointer def;

Default value, as a (const gchar *) for string parameters, or using GINT_TO_POINTER or GUINT_TO_POINTER for integer parameters

gsize offset;

Offset of the parameter in the opaque data structure, if appropriate. The member at that offset is expected to be a gint, guint, (gchar *) or gboolean, depending on gtype. The default parameter setter, tp_cm_param_setter_offset, uses this field.

TpCMParamFilter filter;

A callback which is used to validate or normalize the user-provided value before it is written into the opaque data structure

gconstpointer filter_data;

Arbitrary opaque data intended for use by the filter function

gconstpointer setter_data;

Arbitrary opaque data intended for use by the setter function instead of or in addition to offset.

TpCMProtocolSpec

typedef struct {
    const gchar *name;
    const TpCMParamSpec *parameters;
    gpointer (*params_new) (void);
    void (*params_free) (gpointer);
    TpCMParamSetter set_param;
} TpCMProtocolSpec;

Structure representing a connection manager protocol.

In addition to the fields documented here, there are three gpointer fields which must currently be NULL. A meaning may be defined for these in a future version of telepathy-glib.

const gchar *name;

The name which should be passed to RequestConnection for this protocol.

const TpCMParamSpec *parameters;

An array of TpCMParamSpec representing the valid parameters for this protocol, terminated by a TpCMParamSpec whose name entry is NULL.

params_new ()

A function which allocates an opaque data structure to store the parsed parameters for this protocol. The offset fields in the members of the parameters array refer to offsets within this opaque structure.

params_free ()

A function which deallocates the opaque data structure provided by params_new, including deallocating its data members (currently, only strings) if necessary.

TpCMParamSetter set_param;

A function which sets a parameter within the opaque data structure provided by params_new. If NULL, tp_cm_param_setter_offset() will be used. (New in 0.7.0 - previously, code equivalent to tp_cm_param_setter_offset() was always used.)

TpBaseConnectionManager

typedef struct _TpBaseConnectionManager TpBaseConnectionManager;

A base class for connection managers. There are no interesting public fields in the instance structure.


struct TpBaseConnectionManagerClass

struct TpBaseConnectionManagerClass {
    GObjectClass parent_class;

    const char *cm_dbus_name;

    TpBaseConnectionManagerGetInterfacesFunc get_interfaces;
};

The class structure for TpBaseConnectionManager.

In addition to the fields documented here, there are some gpointer fields which must currently be NULL (a meaning may be defined for these in a future version of telepathy-glib).

Changed in 0.7.1: it is a fatal error for cm_dbus_name not to conform to the specification.

Changed in 0.11.11: protocol_params and new_connection may both be NULL. If so, this connection manager is assumed to use Protocol objects instead. Since 0.19.2 those fields are deprecated and should not be used anymore.

GObjectClass parent_class;

The parent class

const char *cm_dbus_name;

The name of this connection manager, as used to construct D-Bus object paths and bus names. Must contain only letters, digits and underscores, and may not start with a digit. Must be filled in by subclasses in their class_init function.

TpBaseConnectionManagerGetInterfacesFunc get_interfaces;

Returns a GPtrArray of static strings of extra D-Bus interfaces implemented by instances of this class, which may be filled in by subclasses. The default is to list no additional interfaces. Implementations must first chainup on parent class implementation and then add extra interfaces to the GPtrArray. Replaces interfaces. Since: 0.19.4

TpBaseConnectionManagerNewConnFunc ()

TpBaseConnection *  (*TpBaseConnectionManagerNewConnFunc)
                                                        (TpBaseConnectionManager *self,
                                                         const gchar *proto,
                                                         TpIntset *params_present,
                                                         void *parsed_params,
                                                         GError **error);

A function that will return a new connection according to the parsed parameters; used to implement RequestConnection.

The connection manager base class will register the bus name for the new connection, and place a reference to it in its table of connections until the connection's shutdown process finishes.

self :

The connection manager implementation

proto :

The protocol name from the D-Bus request

params_present :

A set of integers representing the indexes into the array of TpCMParamSpec of those parameters that were present in the request

parsed_params :

An opaque data structure as returned by the protocol's params_new function, populated according to the parameter specifications

error :

if not NULL, used to indicate the error if NULL is returned

Returns :

the new connection object, or NULL on error.

TpBaseConnectionManagerGetInterfacesFunc ()

GPtrArray *         (*TpBaseConnectionManagerGetInterfacesFunc)
                                                        (TpBaseConnectionManager *self);

Signature of an implementation of TpBaseConnectionManagerClass.get_interfaces virtual function.

Implementation must first chainup on parent class implementation and then add extra interfaces into the GPtrArray.

The connection manager implementation

Returns :

TRUE on success, FALSE (having emitted a warning to stderr) on failure

tp_base_connection_manager_add_protocol ()

void                tp_base_connection_manager_add_protocol

                                                         TpBaseProtocol *protocol);

Add a protocol object to the set of supported protocols.

self :

a connection manager object which has not yet registered on D-Bus (i.e. tp_base_connection_manager_register() must not have been called)

Property Details

The "dbus-daemon" property

  "dbus-daemon"              TpDBusDaemon*         : Read / Write / Construct Only

TpDBusDaemon object encapsulating this object's connection to D-Bus. Read-only except during construction.

If this property is NULL or omitted during construction, the object will automatically attempt to connect to the starter or session bus with tp_dbus_daemon_dup() just after it is constructed; if this fails, a warning will be logged with g_warning(), and this property will remain NULL.

Since 0.11.3


The "interfaces" property

  "interfaces"               GStrv                 : Read

The set of D-Bus interfaces available on this ConnectionManager, other than ConnectionManager itself.

Since 0.11.11


The "protocols" property

  "protocols"                GHashTable_gchararray+GHashTable_gchararray+GValue__*  : Read

The Protocol objects available on this ConnectionManager.

Since 0.11.11

Signal Details

The "no-more-connections" signal

void                user_function                      (TpBaseConnectionManager *arg0,
                                                        gpointer                 user_data)      : Has Details

Emitted when the table of active connections becomes empty. tp_run_connection_manager() uses this to detect when to shut down the connection manager.

user_data :

user data set when the signal handler was connected.
