Function Documentation

◆ purple_log_common_deleter()

gboolean purple_log_common_deleter ( PurpleLog * log )

Deletes a log.

This function should only be used with logs that are written with purple_log_common_writer(). It's intended to be used as a "common" implementation of a logger's delete function. It should only be passed to purple_log_logger_new() and never called directly.

Parameters

log	The PurpleLog to delete.

Returns: A boolean indicating success or failure.

◆ purple_log_common_is_deletable()

gboolean purple_log_common_is_deletable ( PurpleLog * log )

Checks to see if a log is deletable.

This function should only be used with logs that are written with purple_log_common_writer(). It's intended to be used as a "common" implementation of a logger's is_deletable function. It should only be passed to purple_log_logger_new() and never called directly.

Parameters

log	The PurpleLog to check.

Returns: A boolean indicating if the log is deletable.

◆ purple_log_common_lister()

GList * purple_log_common_lister	(	PurpleLogType	type,
		const char *	name,
		PurpleAccount *	account,
		const char *	ext,
		PurpleLogLogger *	logger
	)

Returns a sorted GList of PurpleLogs of the requested type.

This function should only be used with logs that are written with purple_log_common_writer(). It's intended to be used as a "common" implementation of a logger's list function. It should only be passed to purple_log_logger_new() and never called directly.

Parameters

type	The type of the logs being listed.
name	The name of the log.
account	The account of the log.
ext	The file extension this log format uses.
logger	A reference to the logger struct for this log.

Returns: A sorted GList of PurpleLogs matching the parameters.

◆ purple_log_common_sizer()

int purple_log_common_sizer ( PurpleLog * log )

Returns the size of a given PurpleLog.

This function should only be used with logs that are written with purple_log_common_writer(). It's intended to be used as a "common" implementation of a logger's size function. It should only be passed to purple_log_logger_new() and never called directly.

Parameters

log	The PurpleLog to size.

Returns: An integer indicating the size of the log in bytes.

◆ purple_log_common_total_sizer()

int purple_log_common_total_sizer	(	PurpleLogType	type,
		const char *	name,
		PurpleAccount *	account,
		const char *	ext
	)

Returns the total size of all the logs for a given user, with a given extension.

This function should only be used with logs that are written with purple_log_common_writer(). It's intended to be used as a "common" implementation of a logger's total_size function. It should only be passed to purple_log_logger_new() and never called directly.

Parameters

type	The type of the logs being sized.
name	The name of the logs to size (e.g. the username or chat name).

Returns: The size of all the logs with the specified extension for the specified user.

◆ purple_log_common_writer()

void purple_log_common_writer	(	PurpleLog *	log,
		const char *	ext
	)

Opens a new log file in the standard Purple log location with the given file extension, named for the current time, for writing.

If a log file is already open, the existing file handle is retained. The log's logger_data value is set to a PurpleLogCommonLoggerData struct containing the log file handle and log path.

This function is intended to be used as a "common" implementation of a logger's write function. It should only be passed to purple_log_logger_new() and never called directly.

Parameters

log	The log to write to.
ext	The file extension to give to this log file.

◆ purple_log_compare()

Frees a log.

Parameters

log	The log to destroy

◆ purple_log_get_activity_score()

int purple_log_get_activity_score	(	PurpleLogType	type,
		const char *	name,
		PurpleAccount *	account
	)

	)

Returns the default logger directory Purple uses for a given account and username.

This would be where Purple stores logs created by the built-in text or HTML loggers.

Parameters

type	The type of the log.
name	The name of the log.
account	The account.

Returns: The default logger directory for Purple.

◆ purple_log_get_log_sets()

GHashTable * purple_log_get_log_sets ( void )

Returns a GHashTable of PurpleLogSets.

A "log set" here means the information necessary to gather the PurpleLogs for a given buddy/chat. This information would be passed to purple_log_list to get a list of PurpleLogs.

The primary use of this function is to get a list of everyone the user has ever talked to (assuming he or she uses logging).

The GHashTable that's returned will free all log sets in it when destroyed. If a PurpleLogSet is removed from the GHashTable, it must be freed with purple_log_set_free().

Returns: A GHashTable of all available unique PurpleLogSets

For details on these functions, see PurpleLogLogger. Functions may not be skipped. For example, passing `create` and `write` is acceptable (for a total of two functions). Passing `create` and `finalize`, however, is not. To accomplish that, the caller must pass `create`, `NULL` (a placeholder for `write`), and `finalize` (for a total of 3 functions).

Returns: The new logger
