Struct ashpd::documents::FileTransfer

pub struct FileTransfer<'a>(/* private fields */);

The interface operates as a middle-man between apps when transferring files via drag-and-drop or copy-paste, taking care of the necessary exporting of files in the document portal.

Toolkits are expected to use the application/vnd.portal.filetransfer mimetype when using this mechanism for file exchange via copy-paste or drag-and-drop.

The data that is transmitted with this mimetype should be the key returned by the StartTransfer method. Upon receiving this mimetype, the target should call RetrieveFiles with the key, to obtain the list of files. The portal will take care of exporting files in the document store as necessary to make them accessible to the target.

Wrapper of the DBus interface: org.freedesktop.portal.FileTransfer.

Implementations

impl<'a> FileTransfer<'a>

pub async fn new() -> Result<FileTransfer<'a>, Error>

Create a new instance of FileTransfer.

pub async fn add_files( &self, key: &str, fds: &[&BorrowedFd<'_>] ) -> Result<(), Error>

Adds files to a session. This method can be called multiple times on a given session. Note only regular files (not directories) can be added.

Arguments

• key - A key returned by start_transfer().
• fds - A list of file descriptors of the files to register.

Specifications

See also AddFiles.

pub async fn retrieve_files(&self, key: &str) -> Result<Vec<String>, Error>

Retrieves files that were previously added to the session with add_files(). The files will be exported in the document portal as-needed for the caller, and they will be writeable if the owner of the session allowed it.

Arguments

• key - A key returned by start_transfer().

Returns

The list of file paths.

Specifications

See also RetrieveFiles.

pub async fn start_transfer( &self, writeable: bool, auto_stop: bool ) -> Result<String, Error>

Starts a session for a file transfer. The caller should call add_files() at least once, to add files to this session.

Arguments

• writeable - Sets whether the chosen application can write to the files or not.
• auto_stop - Whether to stop the transfer automatically after the first retrieve_files() call.

Returns

Key that can be passed to retrieve_files() to obtain the files.

Specifications

See also StartTransfer.

pub async fn stop_transfer(&self, key: &str) -> Result<(), Error>

Ends the transfer. Further calls to add_files() or retrieve_files() for this key will return an error.

Arguments

• key - A key returned by start_transfer().

Specifications

See also StopTransfer.

pub async fn transfer_closed(&self) -> Result<impl Stream<Item = String>, Error>

Emitted when the transfer is closed.

Returns

• The key returned by start_transfer().

Specifications

See also TransferClosed.

Methods from Deref<Target = Proxy<'a>>

pub fn connection(&self) -> &Connection

Get a reference to the associated connection.

pub fn destination(&self) -> &BusName<'_>

Get a reference to the destination service name.

pub fn path(&self) -> &ObjectPath<'_>

Get a reference to the object path.

pub fn interface(&self) -> &InterfaceName<'_>

Get a reference to the interface.

pub async fn introspect(&self) -> Result<String, Error>

Introspect the associated object, and return the XML description.

See the xml module for parsing the result.

pub fn cached_property<T>( &self, property_name: &str ) -> Result<Option<T>, Error>

where T: TryFrom<OwnedValue>, <T as TryFrom<OwnedValue>>::Error: Into<Error>,

Get the cached value of the property property_name.

This returns None if the property is not in the cache. This could be because the cache was invalidated by an update, because caching was disabled for this property or proxy, or because the cache has not yet been populated. Use get_property to fetch the value from the peer.

pub fn cached_property_raw<'p>( &'p self, property_name: &'p str ) -> Option<impl Deref<Target = Value<'static>> + 'p>

Get the cached value of the property property_name.

Same as cached_property, but gives you access to the raw value stored in the cache. This is useful if you want to avoid allocations and cloning.

pub async fn get_property<T>(&self, property_name: &str) -> Result<T, Error>

where T: TryFrom<OwnedValue>, <T as TryFrom<OwnedValue>>::Error: Into<Error>,

Get the property property_name.

Get the property value from the cache (if caching is enabled) or call the Get method of the org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties interface.

pub async fn set_property<'t, T>( &self, property_name: &str, value: T ) -> Result<(), Error>

where T: 't + Into<Value<'t>>,

Set the property property_name.

Effectively, call the Set method of the org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties interface.

pub async fn call_method<'m, M, B>( &self, method_name: M, body: &B ) -> Result<Message, Error>

where M: TryInto<MemberName<'m>>, <M as TryInto<MemberName<'m>>>::Error: Into<Error>, B: Serialize + DynamicType,

Call a method and return the reply.

Typically, you would want to use call method instead. Use this method if you need to deserialize the reply message manually (this way, you can avoid the memory allocation/copying, by deserializing the reply to an unowned type).

pub async fn call<'m, M, B, R>( &self, method_name: M, body: &B ) -> Result<R, Error>

where M: TryInto<MemberName<'m>>, <M as TryInto<MemberName<'m>>>::Error: Into<Error>, B: Serialize + DynamicType, R: for<'d> DynamicDeserialize<'d>,

Call a method and return the reply body.

Use call_method instead if you need to deserialize the reply manually/separately.

pub async fn call_with_flags<'m, M, B, R>( &self, method_name: M, flags: BitFlags<MethodFlags>, body: &B ) -> Result<Option<R>, Error>

where M: TryInto<MemberName<'m>>, <M as TryInto<MemberName<'m>>>::Error: Into<Error>, B: Serialize + DynamicType, R: for<'d> DynamicDeserialize<'d>,

Call a method and return the reply body, optionally supplying a set of method flags to control the way the method call message is sent and handled.

Use call instead if you do not need any special handling via additional flags. If the NoReplyExpected flag is passed , this will return None immediately after sending the message, similar to call_noreply

pub async fn call_noreply<'m, M, B>( &self, method_name: M, body: &B ) -> Result<(), Error>

where M: TryInto<MemberName<'m>>, <M as TryInto<MemberName<'m>>>::Error: Into<Error>, B: Serialize + DynamicType,

Call a method without expecting a reply

This sets the NoReplyExpected flag on the calling message and does not wait for a reply.

pub async fn receive_signal<'m, M>( &self, signal_name: M ) -> Result<SignalStream<'m>, Error>

where M: TryInto<MemberName<'m>>, <M as TryInto<MemberName<'m>>>::Error: Into<Error>,

Create a stream for signal named signal_name.

pub async fn receive_signal_with_args<'m, M>( &self, signal_name: M, args: &[(u8, &str)] ) -> Result<SignalStream<'m>, Error>

where M: TryInto<MemberName<'m>>, <M as TryInto<MemberName<'m>>>::Error: Into<Error>,

Same as Proxy::receive_signal but with a filter.

The D-Bus specification allows you to filter signals by their arguments, which helps avoid a lot of unnecessary traffic and processing since the filter is run on the server side. Use this method where possible. Note that this filtering is limited to arguments of string types.

The arguments are passed as a tuples of argument index and expected value.

pub async fn receive_all_signals(&self) -> Result<SignalStream<'static>, Error>

Create a stream for all signals emitted by this service.

pub async fn receive_property_changed<'name, T>( &self, name: &'name str ) -> PropertyStream<'a, T>

where 'name: 'a,

Get a stream to receive property changed events.

Note that zbus doesn’t queue the updates. If the listener is slower than the receiver, it will only receive the last update.

If caching is not enabled on this proxy, the resulting stream will not return any events.

pub async fn receive_owner_changed( &self ) -> Result<OwnerChangedStream<'_>, Error>

Get a stream to receive destination owner changed events.

If the proxy destination is a unique name, the stream will be notified of the peer disconnection from the bus (with a None value).

If the proxy destination is a well-known name, the stream will be notified whenever the name owner is changed, either by a new peer being granted ownership (Some value) or when the name is released (with a None value).

Note that zbus doesn’t queue the updates. If the listener is slower than the receiver, it will only receive the last update.
