Warning: initiator_handle is deprecated.
The CONTACT Handle of the initiator of this channel, or 0 if there is no particular initiator.
Use initiator_contact instead.
If the channel was initiated by a remote contact, this handle represents that contact, and
requested will be false
. For instance, for an incoming
call this property indicates the caller, and for a chatroom invitation this property indicates who sent the invitation.
If the channel was requested by the local user, requested will be
true
, and this property may be the group_self_handle
or self_handle.
If the channel appeared for some other reason (for instance as a side-effect of connecting to the server), this property may be 0.
This is not guaranteed to be set until prepare_async has finished
preparing TP_CHANNEL_FEATURE_CORE
; until then, it may be 0.
