Function Documentation

void purple_connection_destroy ( PurpleConnection gc  ) 

Disconnects and destroys a PurpleConnection.

This function should only be called by purple_account_disconnect() in account.c. If you're trying to sign off an account, use that function instead.

Parameters:
gc The purple connection to destroy.

void purple_connection_error ( PurpleConnection gc,
const char *  reason 
)

Closes a connection with an error.

Parameters:
gc The connection.
reason The error text.

PurpleAccount* purple_connection_get_account ( const PurpleConnection gc  ) 

Returns the connection's account.

Parameters:
gc The connection.
Returns:
The connection's account.

const char* purple_connection_get_display_name ( const PurpleConnection gc  ) 

Returns the connection's displayed name.

Parameters:
gc The connection.
Returns:
The connection's displayed name.

const char* purple_connection_get_password ( const PurpleConnection gc  ) 

Returns the connection's password.

Parameters:
gc The connection.
Returns:
The connection's password.

PurpleConnectionState purple_connection_get_state ( const PurpleConnection gc  ) 

Returns the connection state.

Parameters:
gc The connection.
Returns:
The connection state.

void purple_connection_new ( PurpleAccount account,
gboolean  regist,
const char *  password 
)

This function should only be called by purple_account_connect() in account.c.

If you're trying to sign on an account, use that function instead.

Creates a connection to the specified account and either connects or attempts to register a new account. If you are logging in, the connection uses the current active status for this account. So if you want to sign on as "away," for example, you need to have called purple_account_set_status(account, "away"). (And this will call purple_account_connect() automatically).

Parameters:
account The account the connection should be connecting to.
regist Whether we are registering a new account or just trying to do a normal signon.
password The password to use.

void purple_connection_new_unregister ( PurpleAccount account,
const char *  password,
PurpleAccountUnregistrationCb  cb,
void *  user_data 
)

This function should only be called by purple_account_unregister() in account.c.

Tries to unregister the account on the server. If the account is not connected, also creates a new connection.

Parameters:
account The account to unregister
password The password to use.

void purple_connection_notice ( PurpleConnection gc,
const char *  text 
)

Displays a connection-specific notice.

Parameters:
gc The connection.
text The notice text.

void purple_connection_set_account ( PurpleConnection gc,
PurpleAccount account 
)

Sets the connection's account.

Parameters:
gc The connection.
account The account.

void purple_connection_set_display_name ( PurpleConnection gc,
const char *  name 
)

Sets the connection's displayed name.

Parameters:
gc The connection.
name The displayed name.

void purple_connection_set_state ( PurpleConnection gc,
PurpleConnectionState  state 
)

Sets the connection state.

PRPLs should call this and pass in the state "PURPLE_CONNECTED" when the account is completely signed on. What does it mean to be completely signed on? If the core can call prpl->set_status, and it successfully changes your status, then the account is online.

Parameters:
gc The connection.
state The connection state.

void purple_connection_update_progress ( PurpleConnection gc,
const char *  text,
size_t  step,
size_t  count 
)

Updates the connection progress.

Parameters:
gc The connection.
text Information on the current step.
step The current step.
count The total number of steps.

GList* purple_connections_get_all ( void   ) 

Returns a list of all active connections.

This does not include connections that are in the process of connecting.

A list of all active connections.

GList* purple_connections_get_connecting ( void   ) 

Returns a list of all connections in the process of connecting.

A list of connecting connections.

void* purple_connections_get_handle ( void   ) 

Returns the handle to the connections subsystem.

Returns:
The connections subsystem handle.

PurpleConnectionUiOps* purple_connections_get_ui_ops ( void   ) 

Returns the UI operations structure used for connections.

Returns:
The UI operations structure in use.

void purple_connections_set_ui_ops ( PurpleConnectionUiOps ops  ) 

Sets the UI operations structure to be used for connections.

Parameters:
ops The UI operations structure.
