The TpSvcProtocol interface (auto-generated from the Telepathy spec) makes it easier to export an object implementing the Telepathy Protocol interface.

## Functions

### tp_svc_protocol_identify_account_impl ()

    void
    (*tp_svc_protocol_identify_account_impl)
                                   (TpSvcProtocol *self,

Register an implementation for the IdentifyAccount method in the vtable of an implementation of this interface. To be called from the interface init function.

#### Parameters

klass | A class whose instances implement this interface |
impl | A callback used to implement the IdentifyAccount D-Bus method |

### tp_svc_protocol_implement_normalize_contact ()

    void
    tp_svc_protocol_implement_normalize_contact
                                   (TpSvcProtocolClass *klass,
                                    tp_svc_protocol_normalize_contact_impl impl);

Register an implementation for the NormalizeContact method in the vtable of an implementation of this interface. To be called from the interface init function.

#### Parameters

klass | A class whose instances implement this interface |
impl | A callback used to implement the NormalizeContact D-Bus method |

### tp_svc_protocol_normalize_contact_impl ()

    void
    (*tp_svc_protocol_normalize_contact_impl)
                                   (TpSvcProtocol *self,
                                    const gchar *in_Contact_ID,
                                    DBusGMethodInvocation *context);

The signature of an implementation of the D-Bus method NormalizeContact on interface org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Protocol.

#### Parameters

self | The object implementing this interface |
in_Contact_ID | const gchar * (FIXME, generate documentation) |
context | Used to return values or throw an error |

### tp_svc_protocol_return_from_identify_account ()

    void
    tp_svc_protocol_return_from_identify_account
                                   (DBusGMethodInvocation *context,
                                    const gchar *out_Account_ID);

Return successfully by calling `dbus_g_method_return()`. This inline function exists only to provide type-safety.

#### Parameters

## Types and Values

### TpSvcProtocol

    typedef struct _TpSvcProtocol TpSvcProtocol;

Dummy typedef representing any implementation of this interface.

### TpSvcProtocolClass

    typedef struct _TpSvcProtocolClass TpSvcProtocolClass;

The class of TpSvcProtocol.

In a full implementation of this interface (i.e. all methods implemented), the interface initialization function used in `G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE()` would typically look like this:

    static void
    implement_protocol (gpointer klass,
        gpointer unused G_GNUC_UNUSED)
    {
    #define IMPLEMENT(x) tp_svc_protocol_implement_##x (\
      klass, my_object_##x)
      IMPLEMENT (identify_account);
      IMPLEMENT (normalize_contact);
    #undef IMPLEMENT
    }

### TpSvcProtocolInterfaceAddressing

    typedef struct _TpSvcProtocolInterfaceAddressing TpSvcProtocolInterfaceAddressing;

Dummy typedef representing any implementation of this interface.

### TpSvcProtocolInterfaceAddressingClass

    typedef struct _TpSvcProtocolInterfaceAddressingClass TpSvcProtocolInterfaceAddressingClass;

The class of TpSvcProtocolInterfaceAddressing.

In a full implementation of this interface (i.e. all methods implemented), the interface initialization function used in `G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE()` would typically look like this:

    static void
    implement_protocol_interface_addressing (gpointer klass,
        gpointer unused G_GNUC_UNUSED)
    {
    #define IMPLEMENT(x) tp_svc_protocol_interface_addressing_implement_##x (\
      klass, my_object_##x)
      IMPLEMENT (normalize_vcard_address);
      IMPLEMENT (normalize_contact_uri);
    #undef IMPLEMENT
    }

### TpSvcProtocolInterfacePresence

    typedef struct _TpSvcProtocolInterfacePresence TpSvcProtocolInterfacePresence;

Dummy typedef representing any implementation of this interface.

### TpSvcProtocolInterfacePresenceClass

    typedef struct _TpSvcProtocolInterfacePresenceClass TpSvcProtocolInterfacePresenceClass;

The class of TpSvcProtocolInterfacePresence. This interface has no D-Bus methods, so an implementation can typically pass `NULL` to `G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE()` as the interface initialization function.

### TpSvcProtocolInterfaceAvatars

    typedef struct _TpSvcProtocolInterfaceAvatars TpSvcProtocolInterfaceAvatars;

Dummy typedef representing any implementation of this interface.

### TpSvcProtocolInterfaceAvatarsClass

    typedef struct _TpSvcProtocolInterfaceAvatarsClass TpSvcProtocolInterfaceAvatarsClass;

The class of TpSvcProtocolInterfaceAvatars. This interface has no D-Bus methods, so an implementation can typically pass `NULL` to `G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE()` as the interface initialization function.
