## Description

Each client to which the ChannelDispatcher can send channels must implement the Client interface. This object represents such a client, and is mainly useful in the implementation of the ChannelDispatcher itself.

## Details

### TpClient

    typedef struct _TpClient TpClient;

Each client to which the ChannelDispatcher can send channels must implement the Client interface. This object represents such a client, and is mainly useful in the implementation of the ChannelDispatcher itself.

This proxy is usable but very incomplete: accessors for D-Bus properties will be added in a later version of telepathy-glib, along with a mechanism similar to `tp_connection_call_when_ready()`.

Many operations performed on a Client are done via D-Bus properties. Until convenience methods for this are implemented, use of the generic `tp_cli_dbus_properties_call_get_all()` and `tp_cli_dbus_properties_call_set()` methods is recommended.

Since 0.7.32

### TpClientClass

    typedef struct {
    } TpClientClass;

The class of a TpClient.

### tp_client_init_known_interfaces ()

    void                tp_client_init_known_interfaces     (void);

Ensure that the known interfaces for TpClient 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()` with first argument `TP_TYPE_CLIENT`.

Since 0.7.32

### tp_cli_client_observer_callback_for_observe_channels ()

    void                (*tp_cli_client_observer_callback_for_observe_channels)
                                                            (TpClient *proxy,
                                                             const GError *error,

Start a ObserveChannels method call.

<tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <p>Called by the channel dispatcher when channels in which the observer has registered an interest are announced in a <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Connection.Interface.Requests">NewChannels</tp:dbus-ref> signal.</p> <p>If the same NewChannels signal announces some channels that match the filter, and some that do not, then only a subset of the channels (those that do match the filter) are passed to this method.</p> <p>If the channel dispatcher will split up the channels from a single NewChannels signal and dispatch them separately (for instance because no installed Handler can handle all of them), it will call ObserveChannels several times.</p> <p>The observer MUST NOT return from this method call until it is ready for a handler for the channel to run (which may change the channel's state).</p> <tp:rationale> <p>The channel dispatcher must wait for observers to start up, to avoid the following race: text channel logger (observer) gets ObserveChannels, text channel handler gets <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Client.Handler">HandleChannels</tp:dbus-ref> channel handler starts up faster and acknowledges messages, logger never sees those messages.</p> </tp:rationale> <p>The channel dispatcher SHOULD NOT change its behaviour based on whether this method succeeds or fails: there are no defined D-Bus errors for this method, and if it fails, this only indicates that an Observer is somehow broken.</p> <tp:rationale> <p>The expected error response in the channel dispatcher is to log a warning, and otherwise continue as though this method had succeeded.</p> </tp:rationale>

`proxy` : | the TpProxy
`timeout_ms` : | the timeout in milliseconds, or -1 to use the default
`in_Account` : | Used to pass an 'in' argument: The <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy">Account</tp:dbus-ref> with which the channels are associated. The well-known bus name to use is that of the <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy">AccountManager</tp:dbus-ref>.
`in_Connection` : | Used to pass an 'in' argument: The <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy">Connection</tp:dbus-ref> with which the channels are associated. The well-known bus name to use can be derived from this object path by removing the leading '/' and replacing all subsequent '/' by '.'.
`in_Channels` : | Used to pass an 'in' argument: The <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy">Channel</tp:dbus-ref>s and their properties. Their well-known bus names are all the same as that of the Connection.

`in_Dispatch_Operation` :

Used to pass an 'in' argument: <tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <p>The path to the <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy">ChannelDispatchOperation</tp:dbus-ref> for these channels, or the special value '/' if there is no ChannelDispatchOperation (because the channels were requested, not incoming).</p> <p>If the Observer calls <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ChannelDispatchOperation">Claim</tp:dbus-ref> or <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ChannelDispatchOperation">HandleWith</tp:dbus-ref> on the dispatch operation, it MUST be careful to avoid deadlock, since these methods cannot return until the Observer has returned from <tp:member-ref>ObserveChannels</tp:member-ref>.</p> <tp:rationale> <p>This allows an Observer to <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ChannelDispatchOperation">Claim</tp:dbus-ref> a set of channels without having to match up calls to this method with calls to <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Client.Approver">AddDispatchOperation</tp:dbus-ref>.</p> </tp:rationale>

`in_Requests_Satisfied` :

If an approver returns an error from this method, the approver is assumed to be faulty.</p> <p>If no approvers return from this method successfully (including situations where there are no matching approvers at all), the channel dispatcher SHOULD consider this to be an error, and recover by dispatching the channel to the most preferred handler.</p> <tp:rationale> Processes that aren't approvers (or don't at least ensure that there is some approver) probably shouldn't be making connections anyway, so there should always be at least one approver running. </tp:rationale>

`proxy` : | the TpProxy
`timeout_ms` : | the timeout in milliseconds, or -1 to use the default

`in_Channels` :

Used to pass an 'in' argument: <tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <p>The initial value of the <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy">ChannelDispatchOperation.Channels</tp:dbus-ref> property, containing the <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy">Channel</tp:dbus-ref>s to be dispatched and their properties.</p> <tp:rationale> <p>This can't be signalled to the approver through the Properties parameter of this method, because Channels is not an immutable property.</p> </tp:rationale> <p>This argument always contains all of the channels in the channel dispatch operation, even if not all of them actually match the <tp:member-ref>ApproverChannelFilter</tp:member-ref>.</p> <tp:rationale> <p>This seems the least bad way to handle such a situation; see the discussion on <a href="http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21090">bug 21090</a>.</p> </tp:rationale> <p>The actual channels to be dispatched may reduce as channels are closed: this is signalled by <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy">ChannelDispatchOperation.ChannelLost</tp:dbus-ref>. </p> <p>Approvers SHOULD connect to ChannelLost and <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy">ChannelDispatchOperation.Finished</tp:dbus-ref>. (if desired) before returning from AddDispatchOperation, since those signals are guaranteed not to be emitted until after all AddDispatchOperation calls have returned (with success or failure) or timed out.</p>

`in_DispatchOperation` : | Used to pass an 'in' argument: <tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <p>The <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy">ChannelDispatchOperation</tp:dbus-ref> to be processed.</p>

`in_Properties` :

Used to pass an 'in' argument: <p>Properties of the channel dispatch operation. The keys MUST be fully qualified D-Bus property names. This MUST NOT include properties that could change, SHOULD include as many properties as possible given that constraint, and MUST include at least the <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ChannelDispatchOperation">Account</tp:dbus-ref>, <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ChannelDispatchOperation">Connection</tp:dbus-ref> and <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ChannelDispatchOperation">PossibleHandlers</tp:dbus-ref> properties.</p>

`callback` : | called when the method call succeeds or fails; may be `NULL` to make a "fire and forget" call with no reply tracking
`user_data` : | user-supplied data passed to the callback; must be `NULL` if `callback` is `NULL`
`destroy` : | called with the user_data as argument, after the call has succeeded, failed or been cancelled; must be `NULL` if `callback` is `NULL`
`weak_object` : | If not `NULL`, a GObject which will be weakly referenced; if it is destroyed, this call will automatically be cancelled. Must be `NULL` if `callback` is `NULL`
Returns : | a TpProxyPendingCall representing the call in progress. It is borrowed from the object, and will become invalid when the callback is called, the call is cancelled or the TpProxy becomes invalid.
