typedef | QmiMessage

## Description

QmiMessage is a generic type representing a QMI message of any kind (request, response, indication) or service (including QMI_SERVICE_CTL).

This set of generic routines help in handling these message types, and allow creating any kind of message with any kind of TLV.

## Functions

### qmi_message_new ()

    QmiMessage *
    qmi_message_new (QmiService service,
                     guint8 client_id,
                     guint16 transaction_id,
                     guint16 message_id);

Create a new QmiMessage with the specified parameters.

Note that `transaction_id` must be less than G_MAXUINT8 if `service` is QMI_SERVICE_CTL.

#### Parameters

service | a QmiService |
client_id | client ID of the originating control point. |
transaction_id | transaction ID. |
message_id | message ID. |

#### Returns

a newly created QmiMessage. The returned value should be freed with `qmi_message_unref()`.

[transfer full]

Since: 1.0

### qmi_message_new_from_raw ()

    QmiMessage *
    qmi_message_new_from_raw (GByteArray *raw,
                              GError **error);

Create a new QmiMessage from the given raw data buffer.

Whenever a complete QMI message is read, its raw data gets removed from the `raw` buffer.

#### Parameters

raw | raw data buffer. | [inout]
error | return location for error or `NULL`. |

#### Returns

a newly created QmiMessage, which should be freed with `qmi_message_unref()`. If `raw` doesn't contain a complete QMI message NULL is returned. If there is a complete QMI message but it appears not to be valid, NULL is returned and `error` is set.

Create a new response QmiMessage for the specified `request` .

#### Parameters

request | a request QmiMessage. |
error | a QmiProtocolError to set in the result TLV. |

#### Parameters

self | a QmiMessage. |
tlv_offset | offset that was returned by `qmi_message_tlv_write_init()`. |

Since: 1.12

self | a QmiMessage. |
tlv_offset | offset that was returned by `qmi_message_tlv_write_init()`. |
error | return location for error or `NULL`. |

line_prefix | prefix string to use in each new generated line. |
type | type of the TLV. |
raw | raw data buffer with the value of the TLV. |
