Description [src]

Parameters

handle

Type: void*

The plugin or connection handle. For some things this is extremely important. The handle is used to programmatically close the request dialog when it is no longer needed. For protocols this is often a pointer to the PurpleConnection instance. For plugins this should be a similar, unique memory location. This value is important because it allows a request to be closed with purple_request_close_with_handle() when, for example, you sign offline. If the request is not closed it is very likely to cause a crash whenever the callback handler functions are triggered.

The argument can be NULL.
