## Description

The Telepathy Account Manager stores the user's configured real-time communication accounts. The TpAccount object represents a stored account.

## Details

### TpAccount

    typedef struct _TpAccount TpAccount;

The Telepathy Account Manager stores the user's configured real-time communication accounts. This object represents a stored account.

If this account is deleted from the account manager, the "invalidated" signal will be emitted with the domain `TP_DBUS_ERRORS` and the error code `TP_DBUS_ERROR_OBJECT_REMOVED`.

One can connect to the "notify" signal to get change notifications for many of the properties on this object. Refer to each property's documentation for whether it can be used in this way.

Since 0.7.32

### struct TpAccountClass

    struct TpAccountClass {
    };

The class of a TpAccount.

### tp_account_new ()

    TpAccount *         tp_account_new                      (TpDBusDaemon *bus_daemon,
                                                             const gchar *object_path,
                                                             GError **error);

Convenience function to create a new account proxy. The returned TpAccount is not guaranteed to be ready at the point of return.

`bus_daemon` : | Proxy for the D-Bus daemon
`object_path` : | The non-NULL object path of this account
`error` : | Used to raise an error if `object_path` is not valid
Returns : | a new reference to an account proxy, or `NULL` if `object_path` is not valid

### tp_account_init_known_interfaces ()

    void                tp_account_init_known_interfaces    (void);

Ensure that the known interfaces for TpAccount 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_ACCOUNT`.

Since 0.7.32

### tp_account_parse_object_path ()

    gboolean            tp_account_parse_object_path        (const gchar *object_path,
                                                             gchar **cm,
                                                             gchar **protocol,
                                                             gchar **account_id,
                                                             GError **error);

Validates and parses a Telepathy Account's object path, extracting the connection manager's name, the protocol, and the account's unique identifier from the path. This includes replacing underscores with hyphens in the protocol name, as defined in the Account specification.

Any of the out parameters may be `NULL` if not needed. If `TRUE` is returned, the caller is responsible for freeing the strings stored in any non-`NULL` out parameters, using `g_free()`.

`object_path` : | a Telepathy Account's object path
`cm` : | location at which to store the account's connection manager's name. [out][transfer full]
`protocol` : | location at which to store the account's protocol. [out][transfer full]
`account_id` : | location at which to store the account's unique identifier. [out][transfer full]
`error` : | location at which to return an error
Returns : | `TRUE` if `object_path` was successfully parsed; `FALSE` and sets `error` otherwise.

Since 0.9.0

### tp_account_get_path_suffix ()

    const gchar *       tp_account_get_path_suffix          (TpAccount *account);

Returns the portion of `account`'s object path after the standard TP_ACCOUNT_OBJECT_PATH_BASE prefix, of the form "cm/protocol/acct". This string uniquely identifies the account.

This function is only intended to be used when printing debug messages or in tools for developer. For a string suitable for displaying to the user, see `tp_account_get_display_name()`. To retrieve the connection manager and protocol name parts of the object path, see `tp_account_get_connection_manager()` and `tp_account_get_protocol()`. For persistent identification of the account, use `tp_proxy_get_object_path()`.

`account` : | a TpAccount
Returns : | a suffix of `account`'s object path, for debugging purposes.

Since 0.13.9

### tp_account_get_connection ()

    TpConnection *      tp_account_get_connection           (TpAccount *account);

`account` : | a TpAccount
Returns : | the same as the "connection" property. [transfer none]

Since 0.9.0

### tp_account_ensure_connection ()

    TpConnection *      tp_account_ensure_connection        (TpAccount *account,

Set the connection of the account by specifying the connection object path. This function does not return a new ref and it is not guaranteed that the returned TpConnection object is ready.

The use-case for this function is in a HandleChannels callback and you already know the object path for the connection, so you can let `account` create its TpConnection and return it for use.

`account` : | a TpAccount
`path` : | the path to connection object for TpAccount
Returns : | the connection of the account, or `NULL` if either the object path `path` is invalid or it is the null-value "/". [transfer none]

Since 0.9.0

### tp_account_get_display_name ()

    const gchar *       tp_account_get_display_name         (TpAccount *account);

Binds the :connection-status of `self` to the boolean property of another object using a GBinding such that the `target_property` will be set to `TRUE` when `self` is connected (and `invert` is `FALSE`).

`target_property` will be synchronised immediately (`G_BINDING_SYNC_CREATE`). `invert` can be interpreted as analogous to `G_BINDING_INVERT_BOOLEAN`.

For instance, this function can be used to bind the GtkWidget:sensitive property to only make a widget sensitive when the account is connected.

See `g_object_bind_property()` for more information.

`self` : | a TpAccount
`target` : | the target GObject
`target_property` : | the property on `target` to bind (must be `G_TYPE_BOOLEAN`)
`invert` : | `TRUE` if you wish to invert the value of `target_property` (i.e. `FALSE` if connected)

### TP_ACCOUNT_FEATURE_CORE

    #define             TP_ACCOUNT_FEATURE_CORE

Expands to a call to a function that returns a quark for the "core" feature on a TpAccount.

When this feature is prepared, the basic properties of the Account have been retrieved and are available for use, and change-notification has been set up.

One can ask for a feature to be prepared using the `tp_proxy_prepare_async()` function, and waiting for it to callback.

Since 0.9.0

### TP_ACCOUNT_FEATURE_CONNECTION

    #define             TP_ACCOUNT_FEATURE_CONNECTION

Expands to a call to a function that returns a quark for the "connection" feature on a TpAccount.

When this feature is prepared, it is guaranteed that "connection" will always be either `NULL` or prepared. If the account was created using a TpSimpleClientFactory, the same factory will be used to create TpConnection object and to determine desired connection features. Change notification of "connection" property will be delayed until all features (at least `TP_CONNECTION_FEATURE_CORE`) are prepared. See `tp_simple_client_factory_add_account_features()` to define which features needs to be prepared.

One can ask for a feature to be prepared using the `tp_proxy_prepare_async()` function, and waiting for it to callback.

Since 0.15.5

                                                             gpointer user_data);

### Warning

`tp_account_prepare_async` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. since 0.15.6, use `tp_proxy_prepare_async()` instead.

Requests an asynchronous preparation of `account` with the features specified by `features`. When the operation is finished, `callback` will be called. You can then call `tp_account_prepare_finish()` to get the result of the operation.

If `features` is `NULL`, then `callback` will be called when the implied `TP_ACCOUNT_FEATURE_CORE` feature is ready.

If `NULL` is given to `callback`, then no callback will be called when the operation is finished. Instead, it will simply set `features` on `manager`. Note that if `callback` is `NULL`, then `user_data` must also be `NULL`.

Since 0.11.3, this is equivalent to calling the new function `tp_proxy_prepare_async()` with the same arguments.

`account` : | a TpAccount
`features` : | a 0-terminated list of features, or `NULL`
`callback` : | a callback to call when the request is satisfied
`user_data` : | data to pass to `callback`

`result` : | a GAsyncResult
`error` : | a GError to fill
Returns : | `TRUE` if the preparation was successful, otherwise `FALSE`

Since 0.9.0

### TP_ACCOUNT_FEATURE_ADDRESSING

    #define             TP_ACCOUNT_FEATURE_ADDRESSING

Expands to a call to a function that returns a quark for the "addressing" feature on a TpAccount.

When this feature is prepared, the list of URI schemes from Account.Interface.Addressing has been retrieved and is available for use.

One can ask for a feature to be prepared using the `tp_proxy_prepare_async()` function, and waiting for it to callback.

Since 0.13.8

### tp_account_get_uri_schemes ()

    const gchar * const * tp_account_get_uri_schemes        (TpAccount *self);

If the `TP_ACCOUNT_FEATURE_ADDRESSING` feature has been prepared successfully, return a list of additional URI schemes for which this account should be used if possible. Otherwise return `NULL`.

For instance, a SIP or Skype account might have "tel" in this list if the user would like to use that account to call phone numbers.

This list should not contain the primary URI scheme(s) for the account's protocol (for instance, "xmpp" for XMPP, or "sip" or "sips" for SIP), since it should be assumed to be useful for those schemes in any case.

`self` : | a TpAccount
Returns : | a list of URI schemes, or `NULL`. [transfer none]

Since 0.13.8

### tp_account_associated_with_uri_scheme ()

                                                             const gchar *scheme,
                                                             gboolean associate,
                                                             GAsyncReadyCallback callback,

Add `scheme` to the list of additional URI schemes that would be returned by `tp_account_get_uri_schemes()`, or remove it from that list.

`scheme` should not be the primary URI scheme for the account's protocol (for instance, "xmpp" for XMPP, or "sip" or "sips" for SIP), since the account should be assumed to be useful for those schemes regardless of the contents of the list.

Calling this method does not require the `TP_ACCOUNT_FEATURE_ADDRESSING` feature to be enabled, but the change will not be reflected in the result of `tp_account_get_uri_schemes()` or `tp_account_associated_with_uri_scheme()` unless that feature has been enabled.

`self` : | a TpAccount
`scheme` : | a non-`NULL` URI scheme such as "tel"
`associate` : | `TRUE` to use this account for `scheme`, or `FALSE` to not use it
`callback` : | a callback to call when the request is satisfied
`user_data` : | data to pass to `callback`

Interpret the result of `tp_account_set_uri_scheme_association_async()`.

`self` : | a TpAccount
`result` : | a GAsyncResult
`error` : | a GError to fill
Returns : | `TRUE` if the call was successful, otherwise `FALSE`

Since 0.13.8

### TP_ACCOUNT_FEATURE_STORAGE

    #define             TP_ACCOUNT_FEATURE_STORAGE

Expands to a call to a function that returns a quark for the "storage" feature on a TpAccount.

When this feature is prepared, the Account.Interface.Storage properties have been retrieved and are available for use.

One can ask for a feature to be prepared using the `tp_proxy_prepare_async()` function, and waiting for it to callback.

Since 0.13.2

### tp_account_get_storage_provider ()
