Save the avatar to a file named filename

`avatar` : | the avatar
`filename` : | name of a file to write avatar to
`error` : | return location for a GError, or NULL

### empathy_contact_get_location ()

    GHashTable *        empathy_contact_get_location        (EmpathyContact *contact);

Returns the user's location if available. The keys are defined in empathy-location.h. If the contact doesn't have location information, the GHashTable will be empthy. Use g_hash_table_unref when you are done with the GHashTable.

It is composed of string keys and GValues. Keys are defined in empathy-location.h such as EMPATHY_LOCATION_COUNTRY. Example: a "city" key would have "Helsinki" as string GValue, a "latitude" would have 65.0 as double GValue.

`contact` : | an EmpathyContact
Returns : | a GHashTable of location values

### empathy_contact_set_location ()

    void                empathy_contact_set_location        (EmpathyContact *contact,
                                                             GHashTable *location);

Sets the user's location based on the location GHashTable passed. It is composed of string keys and GValues. Keys are defined in empathy-location.h such as EMPATHY_LOCATION_COUNTRY. Example: a "city" key would have "Helsinki" as string GValue, a "latitude" would have 65.0 as double GValue.

`contact` : | an EmpathyContact
`location` : | a GHashTable of the location

### empathy_contact_equal ()

    gboolean            empathy_contact_equal               (gconstpointer contact1,
                                                             gconstpointer contact2);

`contact1` : | an EmpathyContact
`contact2` : | an EmpathyContact
Returns : | FALSE if one of the contacts is NULL but the other is not. Otherwise returns TRUE if both pointer are equal or if they bith refer to the same id. It's only necessary to call this function if your contact objects come from logs where contacts are created dynamically and comparing pointers is not enough.
