### Function

# GUPnP ServiceProxyAction new

#### Declaration [src]

    GUPnPServiceProxyAction*
    gupnp_service_proxy_action_new (
      const char* action,
      ...
    )

#### Description [src]

Prepares action `action` with parameters `Varargs` to be sent off to a remote service later with `gupnp_service_proxy_call_action()` or gupnp_service_proxy_call_action_async().

After the action call has finished, the results of the call may be retrived from the `GUPnPServiceProxyAction` by using gupnp_service_proxy_action_get_result(), `gupnp_service_proxy_action_get_result_list()` or `gupnp_service_proxy_action_get_result_hash()`

    GUPnPServiceProxyAction *action =
            gupnp_service_proxy_action_new ("GetVolume",
                                            // Parameters
                                            "InstanceID", G_TYPE_INT, 0,
                                            "Channel", G_TYPE_STRING, "Master",
                                            NULL);

    GError *error = NULL;
    gupnp_service_proxy_call_action (proxy, action, NULL, &error);
    if (error != NULL) {
            g_warning ("Failed to call GetVolume: %s", error->message);
            g_clear_error (&error);

            return;
    }

    guint16 volume = 0;
    if (!gupnp_service_proxy_action_get_result (action,
                                                &error,
                                                "CurrentVolume", G_TYPE_UINT, &volume,
                                                NULL)) {
            g_message ("Current Volume: %u", volume);
    }

    gupnp_service_proxy_action_unref (action);
