Property: Devices (ao)
Property: Devices (ao)
Array of object paths to known (previously paired, but not necessarily
connected) devices. Note that a "paired" device is one that has been
initialized via the Wacom SmartPad custom protocol. This
initialization is independent of the Bluetooth pairing process. A Tuhi
paired device may or may not be paired over Bluetooth.
Array of object paths to known (previously paired, but not necessarily
connected) devices.
Method: StartPairing() -> ()
Start listening to available devices in pairing mode for an
unspecified timeout. When the timeout expires or an error occurs, a
PairingStopped signal is sent indicating success or error.
Method: StopPairing() -> ()
Stop listening to available devices in pairing mode. If called after
StartPairing() and before a PairingStopped signal has been received,
this method triggers the PairingStopped signal. That signal indicates
success or an error.
If this method is called before StartPairing() or after the
PairingStopped signal, it is ignored and no signal is generated.
Note that between callling StopPairing() and the PairingStopped signal
arriving, PairableDevice signals may still arrive.
Method: Pair(s) -> (i)
Pairs the given device specified by its bluetooth MAC address, i.e.
the value of "address" in the PairableDevice signal argument.
Pairing a device may take a long time, a client must use asynchronous
method invocation to avoid DBus timeouts.
Invocations of Pair() before StartPairing() has been invoked or after a
PairingStopped() signal may result in an error.
Returns: 0 on success or a negative errno on failure
Signal: PairableDevice(a{sv})
Indicates that a device is available for pairing. This signal may be
sent after a StartPairing() call and before PairingStopped(). This
signal is sent once per available device.
The argument is a key-value dictionary, with keys as strings and value
as key-dependent entity.
Tuhi guarantees that the following keys are available:
* "name" - the device name as string
* "address" - the device's Bluetooth MAC address as string
Unknown keys must be ignored by a client.
Signal: PairingStopped(i)
Sent when the pairing has stopped. An argument of 0 indicates a
successful termination of the pairing process, either when a device
has been paired or the timeout expired.
Once this signal has been sent, all devices announced through
PairableDevice signals should be considered invalidated. Attempting to
Pair() one of the devices after the PairingStopped() signal may result
in an error.
In case of error, the argument is a negative errno.
