## Description

Most instant messaging protocols allow users to advertise their presence status. In Telepathy, this is represented by the SimplePresence interface, which lets applications advertise the presence status of the local user, and query the presence status of their contacts.

This section documents the auto-generated C wrappers for the SimplePresence interface, used with TpConnection objects.

## Functions

### tp_cli_connection_interface_simple_presence_run_get_presences ()

    gboolean
    tp_cli_connection_interface_simple_presence_run_get_presences
                                   (TpConnection *proxy,
                                    gint timeout_ms,
                                    const GArray *in_Contacts,
                                    GHashTable **out_Presence,
                                    GError **error,
                                    GMainLoop **loop);

`tp_cli_connection_interface_simple_presence_run_get_presences` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Call the method GetPresences 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.

Get presence previously emitted by <tp:member-ref>PresencesChanged</tp:member-ref> for the given contacts. Data is returned in the same structure as the PresencesChanged signal; no additional network requests are made.

#### Parameters

proxy | A TpConnection or subclass |
timeout_ms | Timeout in milliseconds, or -1 for default |
in_Contacts | Used to pass an 'in' argument: An array of the contacts whose presence should be obtained. |
out_Presence | Used to return an 'out' argument if `TRUE` is returned: <tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <p>Presence information in the same format as for the <tp:member-ref>PresencesChanged</tp:member-ref> signal. The returned mapping MUST include an entry for each contact in the method's argument.</p> <p>The definition of the connection presence types Unknown and Offline means that if a connection manager will return Unknown for contacts not on the subscribe list, it MUST delay the reply to this method call until it has found out which contacts are, in fact, on the subscribe list.</p> |
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

### tp_cli_connection_interface_simple_presence_run_set_presence ()

    gboolean
    tp_cli_connection_interface_simple_presence_run_set_presence
                                   (TpConnection *proxy,
                                    gint timeout_ms,
                                    const gchar *in_Status,
                                    const gchar *in_Status_Message,
                                    GError **error,
                                    GMainLoop **loop);

`tp_cli_connection_interface_simple_presence_run_set_presence` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Call the method SetPresence 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.

<tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <p>Request that the presence status and status message are published for the connection. Changes will be indicated by <tp:member-ref>PresencesChanged</tp:member-ref> signals being emitted.</p> <p>This method may be called on a newly-created connection while it is still in the DISCONNECTED state, to request that when the connection connects, it will do so with the selected status.</p> <p>In DISCONNECTED state the <tp:member-ref>Statuses</tp:member-ref> property will indicate which statuses are allowed to be set while DISCONNECTED (none, if the Connection Manager doesn't allow this). This value MUST NOT be cached, as the set of allowed presences might change upon connecting.</p>

#### Parameters

proxy | A TpConnection or subclass |
timeout_ms | Timeout in milliseconds, or -1 for default |
in_Status | Used to pass an 'in' argument: <tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <p>The string identifier of the desired status. Possible status identifiers are defined in the <tp:member-ref>Statuses</tp:member-ref> property.</p> <p>Clients MUST NOT set a status whose string value they do not recognise, even if its presence type in Statuses matches what the user requested.</p> <tp:rationale> <p>Suppose a protocol has statuses that include 'phone' (of type BUSY) and 'in-a-meeting' (of type BUSY), but there is no generic 'busy' status.</p> <p>If the user requests &quot;Busy&quot; status from a menu, a client author might be tempted to pick an arbitrary status that has type BUSY. However, on this protocol, neither of the choices would be appropriate, and incorrect information about the user would be conveyed.</p> </tp:rationale> <p>Statuses whose <tp:type>Connection_Presence_Type</tp:type> is Offline, Error or Unknown MUST NOT be passed to this function. Connection managers SHOULD reject these statuses.</p> <tp:rationale> <p>To go offline, call <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Connection">Disconnect</tp:dbus-ref> instead. The &quot;error&quot; and &quot;unknown&quot; statuses make no sense.</p> </tp:rationale> |
in_Status_Message | Used to pass an 'in' argument: The status message associated with the current status. |
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

                                    const GArray *in_Contacts,
                                    tp_cli_connection_interface_simple_presence_callback_for_get_presences callback,

                                    GObject *weak_object);

Start a GetPresences method call.

Get presence previously emitted by <tp:member-ref>PresencesChanged</tp:member-ref> for the given contacts. Data is returned in the same structure as the PresencesChanged signal; no additional network requests are made.

#### Parameters

proxy | the TpProxy |
timeout_ms | the timeout in milliseconds, or -1 to use the default |
in_Contacts | Used to pass an 'in' argument: An array of the contacts whose presence should be obtained. |
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.

#### Parameters

proxy | A TpConnection or subclass |
callback | Callback to be called when the signal is received |
user_data | User-supplied data for the callback |
destroy | Destructor for the user-supplied data, which will be called when this signal is disconnected, or before this function returns `NULL` |

error | If not `NULL`, used to raise an error if `NULL` is returned |

#### Returns

a TpProxySignalConnection containing all of the above, which can be used to disconnect the signal; or `NULL` if the proxy does not have the desired interface or has become invalid.
