## Description

This mixin can be added to a channel GObject class to implement the groups interface in a general way.

To use the group mixin, include a TpGroupMixinClass somewhere in your class structure and a TpGroupMixin somewhere in your instance structure, and call `tp_group_mixin_class_init()` from your class_init function, `tp_group_mixin_init()` from your init function or constructor, and `tp_group_mixin_finalize()` from your dispose or finalize function.

To use the group mixin as the implementation of TpSvcChannelInterfaceGroup, call `G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE (TP_TYPE_SVC_CHANNEL_INTERFACE_GROUP, tp_group_mixin_iface_init)` in the fourth argument to `G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_CODE`.

Since 0.5.13 you can also implement the group interface by forwarding all group operations to the group mixin of an associated object (mainly useful for Tubes channels). To do this, call `tp_external_group_mixin_init()` in the constructor after the associated object has been set, `tp_external_group_mixin_finalize()` in the dispose or finalize function, and `G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE (TP_TYPE_SVC_CHANNEL_INTERFACE_GROUP, tp_external_group_mixin_iface_init)` in the fourth argument to `G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_CODE`.

Since 0.7.10 you can also implement the properties of Group channels, by calling `tp_group_mixin_init_dbus_properties()` or `tp_external_group_mixin_init_dbus_properties()` (as appropriate).

## Details

### TpGroupMixinAddMemberFunc ()

    gboolean            (*TpGroupMixinAddMemberFunc)        (GObject *obj,
                                                             TpHandle handle,
                                                             const gchar *message,
                                                             GError **error);

Signature of the callback used to add a member to the group. This should perform the necessary operations in the underlying IM protocol to cause the member to be added.

`obj` : | An object implementing the group interface with this mixin
`handle` : | The handle of the contact to be added
`message` : | A message to be sent if the protocol supports it
`error` : | Used to return a Telepathy D-Bus error if `FALSE` is returned
Returns : | `TRUE` on success, `FALSE` with `error` set on error

### TpGroupMixinRemMemberFunc ()

    gboolean            (*TpGroupMixinRemMemberFunc)        (GObject *obj,
                                                             TpHandle handle,
                                                             const gchar *message,

All fields should be considered read-only.

TpHandleRepoIface *`handle_repo`; | The connection's contact handle repository
TpHandle `self_handle`; | The local user's handle within this group, or 0 if none. Set using `tp_group_mixin_init()` and `tp_group_mixin_change_self_handle()`.
TpChannelGroupFlags `group_flags`; | This group's flags. Set using `tp_group_mixin_change_flags()`; defaults to 0.
TpHandleSet *`members`; | The members of the group. Alter using `tp_group_mixin_change_members()`.
TpHandleSet *`local_pending`; | Members awaiting the local user's approval to join the group. Alter using `tp_group_mixin_change_members()`.

Structure representing the group mixin as used in a particular class. To be placed in the implementation's class structure.

Initialize this with `tp_group_mixin_class_init()`.

All fields should be considered read-only.

TpGroupMixinAddMemberFunc `add_member`; | The add-member function that was passed to `tp_group_mixin_class_init()`
TpGroupMixinRemMemberFunc `remove_member`; | The remove-member function that was passed to `tp_group_mixin_class_init()`
TpGroupMixinClassPrivate *`priv`; | Pointer to opaque private data

Configure the mixin for use with the given class.

`obj_cls` : | The class of an object implementing the group interface using this mixin
`offset` : | The offset of the TpGroupMixinClass structure within the class structure
`add_func` : | A callback to be used to add contacts to this group
`rem_func` : | A callback to be used to remove contacts from this group. This must be `NULL` if you will subsequently call `tp_group_mixin_class_set_remove_with_reason_func()`.

### tp_group_mixin_class_allow_self_removal ()

Configure the mixin to allow attempts to remove the SelfHandle from this Group, even if the group flags would otherwise disallow this. The channel's TpGroupMixinRemMemberFunc or TpGroupMixinRemMemberWithReasonFunc will be called as usual for such attempts, and may make them fail with `TP_ERROR_PERMISSION_DENIED` if required.

This function should be called from the GObject `class_init` callback, after calling `tp_group_mixin_class_init()`.

(Recent telepathy-spec changes make it valid to try to remove the self-handle at all times, regardless of group flags. However, if this was implemented automatically in TpGroupMixin, this would risk crashing connection manager implementations that assume that TpGroupMixin will enforce the group flags strictly. As a result, connection managers should call this function to indicate to the TpGroupMixin that it may call their removal callback with the self-handle regardless of flag settings.)

Set a callback to be used to implement `RemoveMembers()` and `RemoveMembersWithReason()`. If this function is called during class initialization, the given callback will be used instead of the remove callback passed to `tp_group_mixin_class_init()` (which must be `NULL` in this case).

Change the sets of members as given by the arguments, and emit the MembersChanged and MembersChangedDetailed signals if the changes were not a no-op.

This function must be called in response to events on the underlying IM protocol, and must not be called in direct response to user input; it does not respect the permissions flags, but changes the group directly.

If any two of add, del, add_local_pending and add_remote_pending have a non-empty intersection, the result is undefined. Don't do that.

Each of the TpIntSet arguments may be `NULL`, which is treated as equivalent to an empty set.

`obj` : | An object implementing the group interface using this mixin
`message` : | A message to be sent to the affected contacts if possible; `NULL` is allowed, and is mapped to an empty string
`add` : | A set of contact handles to be added to the members (if not already present) and removed from local pending and remote pending (if present)
`del` : | A set of contact handles to be removed from members, local pending or remote pending, wherever they are present
`add_local_pending` : | A set of contact handles to be added to local pending, and removed from members and remote pending
`add_remote_pending` : | A set of contact handles to be added to remote pending, and removed from members and local pending
`actor` : | The handle of the contact responsible for this change
`reason` : | The reason for this change
Returns : | `TRUE` if the group was changed and the MembersChanged(Detailed) signals were emitted; `FALSE` if nothing actually changed and the signals were suppressed.

                                                            (GObject *obj,
                                                             TpIntSet *add,
                                                             TpIntSet *del,
                                                             TpIntSet *add_local_pending,
                                                             TpIntSet *add_remote_pending,
                                                             const GHashTable *details);

Change the sets of members as given by the arguments, and emit the MembersChanged and MembersChangedDetailed signals if the changes were not a no-op.

This function must be called in response to events on the underlying IM protocol, and must not be called in direct response to user input; it does not respect the permissions flags, but changes the group directly.

If any two of add, del, add_local_pending and add_remote_pending have a non-empty intersection, the result is undefined. Don't do that.

Each of the TpIntSet arguments may be `NULL`, which is treated as equivalent to an empty set.

details may contain, among other entries, the well-known keys (and corresponding type, wrapped in a GValue) defined by the Group.MembersChangedDetailed signal's specification; these include "actor" (a handle as G_TYPE_UINT), "change-reason" (an element of TpChannelGroupChangeReason as G_TYPE_UINT), "message" (G_TYPE_STRING), "error" (G_TYPE_STRING), "debug-message" (G_TYPE_STRING).

If all of the information in details could be passed to `tp_group_mixin_change_members()` then calling this function instead provides no benefit. Calling this function without setting TP_CHANNEL_GROUP_FLAG_MEMBERS_CHANGED_DETAILED with `tp_group_mixin_change_members()` first is not very useful, as clients will not know to listen for MembersChangedDetailed and thus will miss the details.

`obj` : | An object implementing the group interface using this mixin
`add` : | A set of contact handles to be added to the members (if not already present) and removed from local pending and remote pending (if present)
`del` : | A set of contact handles to be removed from members, local pending or remote pending, wherever they are present
`add_local_pending` : | A set of contact handles to be added to local pending, and removed from members and remote pending
`add_remote_pending` : | A set of contact handles to be added to remote pending, and removed from members and local pending
`details` : | a map from strings to GValues detailing the change
Returns : | `TRUE` if the group was changed and the MembersChanged(Detailed) signals were emitted; `FALSE` if nothing actually changed and the signals were suppressed. `since` 0.7.21

### tp_group_mixin_add_handle_owner ()

    void                tp_group_mixin_add_handle_owner     (GObject *obj,

Note that the given local handle is an alias within this group for the given globally-valid handle. It will be returned from subsequent GetHandleOwner queries where appropriate.

Changed in 0.7.10: The `owner_handle` may be 0. To comply with telepathy-spec 0.17.6, before adding any channel-specific handle to the members, local-pending members or remote-pending members, you must call either this function or `tp_group_mixin_add_handle_owners()`.

`obj` : | A GObject implementing the group interface with this mixin
`local_handle` : | A contact handle valid within this group (may not be 0)
`owner_handle` : | A contact handle valid globally, or 0 if the owner of the `local_handle` is unknown

Note that the given local handles are aliases within this group for the given globally-valid handles.

To comply with telepathy-spec 0.17.6, before adding any channel-specific handle to the members, local-pending members or remote-pending members, you must call either this function or `tp_group_mixin_add_handle_owner()`.

`since` 0.7.10

`obj` : | A GObject implementing the group interface with this mixin
`local_to_owner_handle` : | A map from contact handles valid within this group (which may not be 0) to either contact handles valid globally, or 0 if the owner of the corresponding key is unknown; all handles are stored using GUINT_TO_POINTER

### tp_group_mixin_init_dbus_properties ()

    void                tp_group_mixin_init_dbus_properties (GObjectClass *cls);

Set up TpDBusPropertiesMixinClass to use this mixin's implementation of the Group interface's properties.

This uses `tp_group_mixin_get_dbus_property()` as the property getter and sets up a list of the supported properties for it. Having called this, you should add TP_CHANNEL_GROUP_FLAG_PROPERTIES to any channels of this class with `tp_group_mixin_change_flags()` to indicate that the DBus properties are available.
