)

Description [src]

Accept an auxiliary connection, usually to upload data.

Implementations should set the payloadTransferInfo field with information the peer can use to open a connection and wait to accept that connection. In most cases the remote device with expect the caller to write to the stream and then close it when finished.

For example, a TCP-based implementation could start listening on a port then send the packet with that port in the payloadTransferInfo dictionary. When a connection is accepted the caller can perform operations on it as required.

Call valent_channel_upload_finish() to get the result.

Available since: 1.0

This method completes asynchronously. Use valent_channel_upload_finish() inside the GAsyncReadyCallback to obtain the result of the operation.
