## Object Hierarchy

      GInterface
       +----TpSvcProtocol

## Known Implementations

TpSvcProtocol is implemented by TpBaseProtocol.

## Description

The TpSvcProtocol interface (auto-generated from the Telepathy spec) makes it easier to export an object implementing the Telepathy Protocol interface.

## Details

### TpSvcProtocol

    typedef struct _TpSvcProtocol TpSvcProtocol;

Dummy typedef representing any implementation of this interface.

### TpSvcProtocolClass

    typedef struct _TpSvcProtocolClass TpSvcProtocolClass;

The class of TpSvcProtocol.

In a full implementation of this interface (i.e. all methods implemented), the interface initialization function used in `G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE()` would typically look like this:

    static void
    implement_protocol (gpointer klass,
        gpointer unused G_GNUC_UNUSED)
    {
    #define IMPLEMENT(x) tp_svc_protocol_implement_##x (\
      klass, my_object_##x)
      IMPLEMENT (identify_account);
      IMPLEMENT (normalize_contact);
    #undef IMPLEMENT
    }

### tp_svc_protocol_identify_account_impl ()

    void                (*tp_svc_protocol_identify_account_impl)
                                                            (TpSvcProtocol *self,
                                                             GHashTable *in_Parameters,
                                                             DBusGMethodInvocation *context);

The signature of an implementation of the D-Bus method IdentifyAccount on interface org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Protocol.

`self` : | The object implementing this interface
`in_Parameters` : | GHashTable * (FIXME, generate documentation)
`context` : | Used to return values or throw an error

### tp_svc_protocol_implement_identify_account ()

    void                tp_svc_protocol_implement_identify_account
                                                            (TpSvcProtocolClass *klass,
                                                             tp_svc_protocol_identify_account_impl impl);

Register an implementation for the IdentifyAccount method in the vtable of an implementation of this interface. To be called from the interface init function.

`klass` : | A class whose instances implement this interface
`impl` : | A callback used to implement the IdentifyAccount D-Bus method

### tp_svc_protocol_implement_normalize_contact ()

    void                tp_svc_protocol_implement_normalize_contact
                                                            (TpSvcProtocolClass *klass,
                                                             tp_svc_protocol_normalize_contact_impl impl);

Register an implementation for the NormalizeContact method in the vtable of an implementation of this interface. To be called from the interface init function.

`klass` : | A class whose instances implement this interface
`impl` : | A callback used to implement the NormalizeContact D-Bus method

### tp_svc_protocol_normalize_contact_impl ()

    void                (*tp_svc_protocol_normalize_contact_impl)
                                                            (TpSvcProtocol *self,

                                                             DBusGMethodInvocation *context);

The signature of an implementation of the D-Bus method NormalizeContact on interface org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Protocol.

`self` : | The object implementing this interface
`in_Contact_ID` : | const gchar * (FIXME, generate documentation)
`context` : | Used to return values or throw an error

### tp_svc_protocol_return_from_identify_account ()

    void                tp_svc_protocol_return_from_identify_account
                                                            (DBusGMethodInvocation *context,
