public class ConnectionManager : Proxy

A proxy object for a Telepathy connection manager.

This might represent a connection manager which is currently running (in which case it can be introspected) or not (in which case its capabilities can be read from .manager files in the filesystem). Accordingly, this object never emits invalidated unless all references to it are discarded.

Various fields and methods on this object do not work until TP_CONNECTION_MANAGER_FEATURE_CORE is prepared. Use prepare_async to wait for this to happen.

Since 0.19.1, accessing the fields of this struct is deprecated, and they are no longer documented here. Use the accessors get_name, is_running, dup_protocols, get_info_source and the always_introspect property instead.

Properties:

public bool always_introspect { get; set; }

public static bool check_valid_protocol_name (string name) throws Error
Check that the given string is a valid protocol name, i.e. that it consists entirely of ASCII letters, digits and hyphen/minus, and starts with a letter.
public static Quark get_feature_quark_core ()
public static void init_known_interfaces ()
Ensure that the known interfaces for TpConnectionManager have been set up.
