<interface name="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Interface.Tube">
<tp:requires interface="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel"/>
<tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<p>A <i>tube</i> is a mechanism for arbitrary data transfer between
two or more IM users, used to allow applications on the users'
systems to communicate without having to establish network
connections themselves. Currently, two types of tube exist:
<tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy"
>Channel.Type.DBusTube</tp:dbus-ref> and
<tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy"
>Channel.Type.StreamTube</tp:dbus-ref>. This interface contains
the properties, signals and methods common to both types of tube;
you can only create channels of a specific tube type, not of this
type. A tube channel contains exactly one tube; if you need several
tubes, you have to create several tube channels.</p>
<p>Tube channels can be requested for <tp:type>Handle_Type</tp:type>
Contact (for 1-1 communication) or Room (to communicate with others in
the room simultaneously).</p>
<p>As an exception to the usual handling of capabilities, connection managers
for protocols with capability discovery (such as XMPP) SHOULD advertise the
capability representing each Tube type that they support
(<tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy">Channel.Type.DBusTube</tp:dbus-ref> and/or
<tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy">Channel.Type.StreamTube</tp:dbus-ref>)
even if no client has indicated via
<tp:dbus-ref
namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Connection.Interface.ContactCapabilities">UpdateCapabilities</tp:dbus-ref>
that such a tube is supported. They SHOULD also allow clients to offer tubes with any
<tp:dbus-ref
namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Type.StreamTube">Service</tp:dbus-ref> or
<tp:dbus-ref
namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Type.DBusTube">ServiceName</tp:dbus-ref>
to any contact which supports the corresponding tube capability.</p>
<tp:rationale>
<p>This lowers the barrier to entry for those writing new tube
applications, and preserves interoperability with older versions of
the Telepathy stack which did not support rich capabilities.</p>
</tp:rationale>
</tp:docstring>
<property name="Parameters" type="a{sv}" tp:type="String_Variant_Map"
access="read" tp:name-for-bindings="Parameters">
<tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<p>Each tube has a dictionary of arbitrary parameters. Parameters are
commonly used to bootstrap legacy protocols where you can't
negotiate parameters in-band. The allowable keys,
types and values are defined by the service, but connection managers
must support the value being a string (D-Bus type <tt>'s'</tt>),
array of bytes (D-Bus type <tt>'ay'</tt>), unsigned integer (D-Bus
type <tt>'u'</tt>), integer (D-Bus type <tt>'i'</tt>) and boolean
(D-Bus type <tt>'b'</tt>).</p>
<p>When the tube is offered, the parameters are transmitted with the
offer and appear as a property of the incoming tube for other
participants.</p>
<p>For example, a stream tube for <tp:dbus-ref
namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Type.StreamTube">Service</tp:dbus-ref>
<tt>"smb"</tt> (<cite>Server Message Block over TCP/IP</cite>) might
use the following properties, as defined in <a
href="http://www.dns-sd.org/ServiceTypes.html">DNS SRV (RFC 2782)
Service Types</a>:</p>
<pre>
{ 'u': 'some-username',
'p': 'top-secret-password',
'path': '/etc/passwd',
}</pre>
<p>When requesting a tube with
<tp:dbus-ref
namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Connection.Interface.Requests">CreateChannel</tp:dbus-ref>,
this property MUST NOT be included in the request; instead, it is set
when <tp:dbus-ref
namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Type">StreamTube.Offer</tp:dbus-ref>
or <tp:dbus-ref
namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Type">DBusTube.Offer</tp:dbus-ref>
(as appropriate) is called. Its value is undefined until the tube is
offered; once set, its value MUST NOT change.</p>
<p>When receiving an incoming tube, this property is immutable and so advertised in the
<tp:dbus-ref
namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Connection.Interface.Requests">NewChannels</tp:dbus-ref>
signal.</p>
