## 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.

### tp_cli_connection_interface_simple_presence_run_get_presences ()

    gboolean            tp_cli_connection_interface_simple_presence_run_get_presences

### Warning

`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.

`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

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.

`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`

Signature of the callback called when a GetPresences method call succeeds or fails.

`proxy` : | the proxy on which the call was made
`out_Presence` : | Used to return an 'out' argument if `error` is `NULL`: <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` : | `NULL` on success, or an error on failure
`user_data` : | user-supplied data
`weak_object` : | user-supplied object

Connect a handler to the signal PresencesChanged.

This signal should be emitted when your own presence has been changed, or the presence of the member of any of the connection's channels has been changed.

`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`
`weak_object` : | A GObject which will be weakly referenced; if it is destroyed, this callback will automatically be disconnected
`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.

`arg_Presence` : | A dictionary of contact handles mapped to the status, presence type and status message.
`user_data` : | User-supplied data
`weak_object` : | User-supplied weakly referenced object
