### TpSimpleHandlerHandleChannelsImpl ()

    void                (*TpSimpleHandlerHandleChannelsImpl)
                                                            (TpSimpleHandler *self,
                                                             TpAccount *account,

Signature of the implementation of the HandleChannels method.

This function must call either `tp_handle_channels_context_accept()`, `tp_handle_channels_context_delay()` or `tp_handle_channels_context_fail()` on `context` before it returns.

`self` : | a TpSimpleHandler instance
`account` : | a TpAccount having `TP_ACCOUNT_FEATURE_CORE` prepared if possible
`connection` : | a TpConnection having `TP_CONNECTION_FEATURE_CORE` prepared if possible
`channels` : | a GList of TpChannel, all having `TP_CHANNEL_FEATURE_CORE` prepared if possible. [element-type TelepathyGLib.Channel]
`requests_satisfied` : | a GList of TpChannelRequest having their object-path defined but are not guaranteed to be prepared. [element-type TelepathyGLib.ChannelRequest]
`user_action_time` : | the time at which user action occurred, or one of the special values `TP_USER_ACTION_TIME_NOT_USER_ACTION` or `TP_USER_ACTION_TIME_CURRENT_TIME` (see "user-action-time" for details)
`context` : | a TpHandleChannelsContext representing the context of this D-Bus call
`user_data` : | arbitrary user-supplied data passed to `tp_simple_handler_new()`

Since 0.11.6

### tp_simple_handler_new ()

    TpBaseClient *      tp_simple_handler_new               (TpDBusDaemon *dbus,
                                                             gboolean bypass_approval,
                                                             gboolean requests,
                                                             const gchar *name,
                                                             gboolean unique,
                                                             TpSimpleHandlerHandleChannelsImpl callback,
                                                             gpointer user_data,
                                                             GDestroyNotify destroy);

Convenient function to create a new TpSimpleHandler instance.

If `dbus` is not the result of `tp_dbus_daemon_dup()`, you should call `tp_simple_handler_new_with_am()` instead, so that TpAccount, TpConnection and TpContact instances can be shared between modules.

`dbus` : | a TpDBusDaemon object, may not be `NULL`
`bypass_approval` : | the value of the Handler.BypassApproval D-Bus property (see `tp_base_client_set_handler_bypass_approval()` for details)
`requests` : | if this handler implement Requests (see `tp_base_client_set_handler_request_notification()` for details)
`name` : | the name of the Handler (see "name": for details)
`unique` : | the value of the TpBaseClient:uniquify-name: property
`callback` : | the function called when HandleChannels is called
`user_data` : | arbitrary user-supplied data passed to `callback`
`destroy` : | called with the user_data as argument, when the TpSimpleHandler is destroyed
Returns : | a new TpSimpleHandler. [type TelepathyGLib.SimpleHandler]

Since 0.11.6

### tp_simple_handler_new_with_am ()

    TpBaseClient *      tp_simple_handler_new_with_am       (TpAccountManager *account_manager,

                                                             gboolean requests,
                                                             const gchar *name,
                                                             gboolean unique,
                                                             TpSimpleHandlerHandleChannelsImpl callback,
                                                             gpointer user_data,
                                                             GDestroyNotify destroy);

Convenient function to create a new TpSimpleHandler instance with a specified TpAccountManager.

It is not necessary to prepare any features on `account_manager` before calling this function.

`account_manager` : | an account manager, which may not be `NULL`
`bypass_approval` : | the value of the Handler.BypassApproval D-Bus property (see `tp_base_client_set_handler_bypass_approval()` for details)
`requests` : | if this handler implement Requests (see `tp_base_client_set_handler_request_notification()` for details)
`name` : | the name of the Handler (see "name": for details)
`unique` : | the value of the TpBaseClient:uniquify-name: property
`callback` : | the function called when HandleChannels is called
`user_data` : | arbitrary user-supplied data passed to `callback`
`destroy` : | called with the user_data as argument, when the TpSimpleHandler is destroyed
Returns : | a new TpSimpleHandler. [type TelepathyGLib.SimpleHandler]
