Description

A helper GObject to use for accessing UPower information, and to be notified when it is changed.

Functions

up_client_new ()

UpClient *
up_client_new (void);

Creates a new UpClient object. If connecting to upowerd on D-Bus fails, this returns NULL and prints out a warning with the error message. Consider using up_client_new_full() instead which allows you to handle errors and cancelling long operations yourself.

Returns

a new UpClient object, or NULL on failure.

Since: 0.9.0

up_client_new_full ()

UpClient *
up_client_new_full (GCancellable *cancellable,
                    GError **error);

Creates a new UpClient object. If connecting to upowerd on D-Bus fails, this returns NULL and sets error .

Parameters

cancellable

A GCancellable or NULL.

[allow-none]

error

Return location for error or NULL.

  

Returns

a new UpClient object, or NULL on failure.

Since: 0.99.5

up_client_get_display_device ()

UpDevice *
up_client_get_display_device (UpClient *client);

Get the composite display device.

Parameters

client

a UpClient instance.

  

Returns

a UpDevice object, or NULL on error.

[transfer full]

Since: 1.0

up_client_get_critical_action ()

char *
up_client_get_critical_action (UpClient *client);

Gets a string representing the configured critical action, depending on availability.

Parameters

client

a UpClient instance.

  

Returns

the action name, or NULL on error.

Since: 1.0

up_client_get_devices ()

GPtrArray *
up_client_get_devices (UpClient *client);

up_client_get_devices has been deprecated since version 0.99.8 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Get a copy of the device objects. This function does not set the free function for the GPtrArray so you need use g_object_unref on all elements when you are finished with the array.

Parameters

client

a UpClient instance.

  

Returns

an array of UpDevice objects, free with g_ptr_array_unref().

[element-type UpDevice][transfer full]

Since: 0.9.0

up_client_get_devices2 ()

GPtrArray *
up_client_get_devices2 (UpClient *client);

Get a copy of the device objects.

Parameters

client

a UpClient instance.

  

Returns

an array of UpDevice objects, free with g_ptr_array_unref().

[element-type UpDevice][transfer full]

Since: 0.99.8

up_client_get_daemon_version ()

const gchar *
up_client_get_daemon_version (UpClient *client);

Get UPower daemon version.

Parameters

client

a UpClient instance.

  

Returns

string containing the daemon version, e.g. 008

Since: 0.9.0

up_client_get_lid_is_closed ()

gboolean
up_client_get_lid_is_closed (UpClient *client);

Get whether the laptop lid is closed.

Parameters

Returns

TRUE if lid is closed or FALSE otherwise.

Since: 0.9.0

up_client_get_lid_is_present ()

gboolean
up_client_get_lid_is_present (UpClient *client);

Get whether a laptop lid is present on this machine.

Parameters

client

a UpClient instance.

  

Returns

TRUE if the machine has a laptop lid

Since: 0.9.2

up_client_get_on_battery ()

gboolean
up_client_get_on_battery (UpClient *client);

Get whether the system is running on battery power.

Parameters
