Connection manager life cycle

## Connection manager life cycle Connection manager life cycle — entry point for telepathy-glib connection managers |

## Functions

int | tp_run_connection_manager ()

## Includes

    #include <telepathy-glib/telepathy-glib.h>

## Description

tp_run_connection_manager() provides a convenient entry point for telepathy-glib connection managers. It initializes most of the functionality the CM will need, constructs a connection manager object and lets it run.

This function also manages the connection manager's lifetime - if there are no new connections for a while, it times out and exits.

## Functions

### tp_run_connection_manager ()

    int
    tp_run_connection_manager (const char *prog_name,
                               const char *version,
                               TpBaseConnectionManager* (*construct_cm) (void),
                               int argc,
                               char **argv);

Run the connection manager by initializing libraries, constructing a main loop, instantiating a connection manager and running the main loop. When this function returns, the program should exit.

If the connection manager does not create a connection within a short arbitrary time (currently 5 seconds), either on startup or after the last open connection is disconnected, and the PERSIST debug flag is not set, return 0.

If registering the connection manager on D-Bus fails, return 1.

#### Parameters

prog_name | The program name to be used in debug messages etc. |
version | The program version |
construct_cm | A function which will return the connection manager object |
argc | The number of arguments passed to the program |
argv | The arguments passed to the program |

#### Returns

the status code with which the process should exit
