## Functions

### device_added ()

    void
    (*device_added) (UpClient *client,
                     UpDevice *device);

### device_removed ()

    void
    (*device_removed) (UpClient *client,
                       const gchar *object_path);

### _up_client_reserved1 ()

    void
    (*_up_client_reserved1) (void);

### _up_client_reserved2 ()

    void
    (*_up_client_reserved2) (void);

### _up_client_reserved3 ()

    void
    (*_up_client_reserved3) (void);

### _up_client_reserved4 ()

    void
    (*_up_client_reserved4) (void);

### _up_client_reserved5 ()

    void
    (*_up_client_reserved5) (void);

### _up_client_reserved6 ()

    void
    (*_up_client_reserved6) (void);

### _up_client_reserved7 ()

    void
    (*_up_client_reserved7) (void);

### _up_client_reserved8 ()

    void
    (*_up_client_reserved8) (void);

### up_client_new ()

    UpClient *
    up_client_new (void);

Creates a new UpClient object. If connecting to upowerd on D-Bus fails, this returns `NULL` and prints out a warning with the error message. Consider using `up_client_new_full()` instead which allows you to handle errors and cancelling long operations yourself.

#### Returns

a new UpClient object, or `NULL` on failure.

Since: 0.9.0

### up_client_get_display_device ()

    UpDevice *
    up_client_get_display_device (UpClient *client);

Get the composite display device.

#### Parameters

client | a UpClient instance. |

#### Returns

a UpClient object, or `NULL` on error.

Since: 1.0

### up_client_get_critical_action ()

    char *
    up_client_get_critical_action (UpClient *client);

Gets a string representing the configured critical action, depending on availability.

#### Parameters

client | a UpClient instance. |

#### Returns

the action name, or `NULL` on error.

Since: 1.0

### up_client_get_devices ()

    GPtrArray *
    up_client_get_devices (UpClient *client);

Get a copy of the device objects.

#### Parameters

client | a UpClient instance. |

#### Returns

an array of UpDevice objects, free with `g_ptr_array_unref()`.

[element-type UpDevice][transfer full]

Since: 0.9.0

### up_client_get_daemon_version ()

    const gchar *
    up_client_get_daemon_version (UpClient *client);

Get UPower daemon version.

#### Parameters

client | a UpClient instance. |

#### Returns

string containing the daemon version, e.g. 008

Since: 0.9.0

### up_client_get_lid_is_closed ()

    gboolean
    up_client_get_lid_is_closed (UpClient *client);

Get whether the laptop lid is closed.

#### Parameters

client | a UpClient instance. |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if lid is closed or `FALSE` otherwise.

Since: 0.9.0

### up_client_get_lid_is_present ()

    gboolean
    up_client_get_lid_is_present (UpClient *client);

Get whether a laptop lid is present on this machine.

#### Parameters

client | a UpClient instance. |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if the machine has a laptop lid

Since: 0.9.2

### up_client_get_on_battery ()

    gboolean
    up_client_get_on_battery (UpClient *client);

Get whether the system is running on battery power.

#### Parameters

client | a UpClient instance. |

#### Returns
