<p>This interface exists to support channels where
<tp:dbus-ref
namespace="im.telepathy.v1">Channel.Close</tp:dbus-ref>
is insufficiently destructive. At the moment this means
<tp:dbus-ref
namespace="im.telepathy.v1">Channel.Type.Text</tp:dbus-ref>,
but the existence of this interface means that unsupported channels
can be terminated in a non-channel-type-specific way.</p>
</tp:docstring>
<method name="Destroy" tp:name-for-bindings="Destroy">
<tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<p>Close the channel abruptly, possibly with loss of data. The
connection manager MUST NOT re-create the channel unless/until
more events occur.</p>
<tp:rationale>
<p>The main motivating situation for this method is that when a Text
channel with pending messages is closed with Close, it comes back
as an incoming channel (to avoid a race between Close and an
incoming message). If Destroy is called on a Text channel, the CM
should delete all pending messages and close the channel, and
the channel shouldn't be re-created until/unless another message
arrives.</p>
</tp:rationale>
<p>Most clients SHOULD call
<tp:dbus-ref
namespace="im.telepathy.v1">Channel.Close</tp:dbus-ref>
instead. However, if a client explicitly intends to destroy the
channel with possible loss of data, it SHOULD call this method
if this interface is supported (according to the
<tp:dbus-ref
namespace="im.telepathy.v1">Channel.Interfaces</tp:dbus-ref>
property), falling back to Close if not.</p>
<p>In particular, channel dispatchers SHOULD use this method if
available when terminating channels that cannot be handled
correctly (for instance, if no handler has been installed for
a channel type, or if the handler crashes repeatedly).</p>
<p>Connection managers do not need to implement this interface on
channels where Close and Destroy would be equivalent.</p>
<tp:rationale>
<p>Callers need to be able to fall back to Close in any case.</p>
