This interface allows a client to get information from various connection interfaces in one dbus call.
This section documents the auto-generated C wrappers for the Contacts interface, used with TpConnection objects.

Start a GetContactAttributes method call.
Return any number of contact attributes for the given handles.
proxy : |
the TpProxy |
timeout_ms : |
the timeout in milliseconds, or -1 to use the default |
in_Handles : |
Used to pass an 'in' argument: An array of handles representing contacts. |
in_Interfaces : |
Used to pass an 'in' argument: <tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <p>A list of strings indicating which D-Bus interfaces the calling process is interested in. All supported attributes from these interfaces, whose values can be obtained without additional network activity, will be in the reply.</p> <p>It is an error to request interfaces that are not supported by this Connection (i.e. mentioned in the <tp:member-ref>ContactAttributeInterfaces</tp:member-ref> property).</p> <tp:rationale> <p>This makes it possible to distinguish between interfaces for which the Connection has nothing to say (e.g. we don't know the avatar tokens of any of the contacts, so we omitted them all), and interfaces for which this API isn't supported.</p> </tp:rationale> <p>Attributes from the interface <tp:dbus-ref>org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Connection</tp:dbus-ref> are always returned, and need not be requested explicitly.</p> <p>As well as returning cached information immediately, the connection MAY start asynchronous requests to obtain better values for the contact attributes.

in_Hold : |
Used to pass an 'in' argument: If true, all handles in the result have been held on behalf of the calling process, as if by a call to <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy">Connection.HoldHandles</tp:dbus-ref>. <tp:rationale> For further round-trip avoidance. </tp:rationale> |
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. |
void (*tp_cli_connection_interface_contacts_callback_for_get_contact_attributes) (TpConnection *proxy, GHashTable *out_Attributes, const GError *error, gpointer user_data, GObject *weak_object);
Signature of the callback called when a GetContactAttributes method call succeeds or fails.
proxy : |
the proxy on which the call was made |
out_Attributes : |
Used to return an 'out' argument if error is NULL : <tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <p>A dictionary mapping the contact handles to contact attributes. If any of the requested handles are in fact invalid, they are simply omitted from this mapping. If contact attributes are not immediately known, the behaviour is defined by the interface; the attribute should either be omitted from the result or replaced with a default value.</p> <p>Each contact's attributes will always include at least the identifier that would be obtained by inspecting the handle (<code>org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Connection/contact-id</code>).</p>
|
error : |
NULL on success, or an error on failure
|
user_data : |
user-supplied data |
weak_object : |
user-supplied object |

Call the method GetContactAttributes and run the main loop until it returns. Before calling this method, you must add a reference to any borrowed objects you need to keep, and generally ensure that everything is in a consistent state.
Return any number of contact attributes for the given handles.

A TpConnection or subclass |

error : |
If not NULL , used to return errors if FALSE
is returned
|
loop : |
If not NULL , set before re-entering
the main loop, to point to a GMainLoop
which can be used to cancel this call with
g_main_loop_quit() , causing a return of
FALSE with error set to TP_DBUS_ERROR_CANCELLED
|
Returns : | TRUE on success, FALSE and sets error on error
