## Description

This interface defines a basic set of channel properties. It's mainly used in TpChannelFactoryIface to represent the returned channel objects.

## Details

### TpChannelFunc ()

    void                (*TpChannelFunc)                    (TpChannelIface *self,
                                                             gpointer userdata);

A callback for functions which act on channels.

`self` : | An object implementing the channel interface
`userdata` : | Arbitrary user-supplied data

### TpChannelIface

    typedef struct _TpChannelIface TpChannelIface;

Opaque typedef representing a channel.

### TpChannelIfaceClass

    typedef struct {
      GTypeInterface parent_class;
    } TpChannelIfaceClass;

The class of the TpChannelIface interface.

GTypeInterface `parent_class`; | The parent interface

## Property Details

### The `"channel-type"` property

      "channel-type"             gchar*                : Read / Write / Construct Only

The D-Bus interface representing the type of this channel. Read-only except during construction (and in connection managers, attempts to set it during construction will usually be ignored or treated as an error).

This is really only read-write for the benefit of TpChannel - GLib considers CONSTRUCT_ONLY|READWRITE to be incompatible with READONLY, because CONSTRUCT_ONLY is a restriction (arguably a GLib bug)

Default value: NULL

### The `"handle"` property

      "handle"                   guint                 : Read / Write / Construct Only

This channel's associated handle, or 0 if there is no associated handle. Read-only except during construction (and depending on the channel type, attempts to set it during construction might also be ignored).

Default value: 0

### The `"handle-type"` property

      "handle-type"              guint                 : Read / Write / Construct Only

The type (TpHandleType) of this channel's associated handle, or 0 if there is no associated handle. Read-only except during construction (and depending on the channel type, attempts to set it during construction might also be ignored).

Default value: 0

### The `"object-path"` property

      "object-path"              gchar*                : Read / Write / Construct Only

The D-Bus object path used for this object on the bus. Read-only except during construction.

Default value: NULL
