Remote dbus applications need a way of addressing objects exposed by purple to the outside world. In purple itself, these objects (such as PurpleBuddy and company) are identified by pointers. The purple dbus pointer registration engine converts pointers to handles and back. In order for an object to participate in the scheme, it must register itself and its type with the engine. This registration allocates an integer id which can be resolved to the pointer and back. Handles are not persistent. They are reissued every time purple is started. This is not good; external applications that use purple should work even whether purple was restarted in the middle of the interaction. Pointer registration is only a temporary solution. When PurpleBuddy and similar structures have been converted into gobjects, this registration will be done automatically by objects themselves. By the way, this kind of object-handle translation should be so common that there must be a library (maybe even glib) that implements it. I feel a bit like reinventing the wheel here. */ void purple_dbus_init_ids(void); /** Registers a typed pointer. @param node The pointer to register. @param type Type of that pointer. */ void purple_dbus_register_pointer(gpointer node, PurpleDBusType *type); /** Unregisters a pointer previously registered with purple_dbus_register_pointer. @param node The pointer to register. */ void purple_dbus_unregister_pointer(gpointer node); /** Emits a dbus signal. @param name The name of the signal ("bla-bla-blaa") @param num_values The number of parameters. @param values Array of pointers to #PurpleValue objects representing the types of the parameters. @param vargs A va_list containing the actual parameters. */ void purple_dbus_signal_emit_purple(const char *name, int num_values, PurpleValue **values, va_list vargs); /** * Returns whether Purple's D-BUS subsystem is up and running.
