Instance methods

e_collection_backend_authenticate_children

Authenticates all enabled children sources with the given crendetials. This is usually called when the collection source successfully used the credentials to connect to the (possibly) remote data store, to open the childern too. Already connected child sources are skipped.

since: 3.16

e_collection_backend_claim_all_resources

Claims all previously used sources that have not yet been claimed by e_collection_backend_new_child() and returns them in a GList. Note that previously used sources can only be claimed once, so subsequent calls to this function for backend will return NULL.

since: 3.6

e_collection_backend_create_resource

Asynchronously creates a server-side resource described by source. For example, if source describes a new calendar, an equivalent calendar is created on the server.

since: 3.6

e_collection_backend_create_resource_finish

Finishes the operation started with e_collection_backend_create_resource().

since: 3.6

e_collection_backend_create_resource_sync

Creates a server-side resource described by source. For example, if source describes a new calendar, an equivalent calendar is created on the server.

since: 3.6

e_collection_backend_delete_resource

Asynchronously deletes a server-side resource described by source. The source must be a child of backends collection EBackend:source.

since: 3.6

e_collection_backend_delete_resource_finish

Finishes the operation started with e_collection_backend_delete_resource().

since: 3.6

e_collection_backend_delete_resource_sync

Deletes a server-side resource described by source. The source must be a child of backends collection EBackend:source.

since: 3.6

e_collection_backend_dup_resource_id

Extracts the resource ID for child_source, which is supposed to be a stable and unique server-assigned identifier for the remote resource described by child_source. If child_source is not actually a child of the collection EBackend:source owned by backend, the function returns NULL.

since: 3.6

e_collection_backend_freeze_populate

Freezes populate of the backend’s content. This is used to avoid calling populate multiple times in parallel. Every call to this function should be followed by the call of e_collection_backend_thaw_populate() to reverse the effect of this function, regardless of the return value of this function.

since: 3.38

e_collection_backend_get_cache_dir

Returns the private cache directory path for backend, which is named after the ESource:uid of backends collection EBackend:source.

since: 3.6

e_collection_backend_get_part_enabled

Checks whether the backend has enabled at least of the parts.

since: 3.40

e_collection_backend_get_populate_frozen
No description available.

since: 3.38

e_collection_backend_is_new_source

Returns whether the source is a newly created child or not. New sources are remembered between two populate calls only.

since: 3.32

e_collection_backend_list_calendar_sources

Returns a list of calendar sources belonging to the data source collection managed by backend.

since: 3.6

e_collection_backend_list_contacts_sources

Returns a list of address book sources belonging to the data source collection managed by backend.

since: 3.6

e_collection_backend_list_mail_sources

Returns a list of mail sources belonging to the data source collection managed by backend.

since: 3.6

e_collection_backend_new_child

Creates a new EServerSideSource as a child of the collection EBackend:source owned by backend. If possible, the EServerSideSource is drawn from a cache of previously used sources indexed by resource_id so that locally cached data from previous sessions can be reused.

since: 3.6

e_collection_backend_ref_proxy_resolver

Returns the GProxyResolver for backend (if applicable), as indicated by the ESourceAuthentication:proxy-uid of backends EBackend:source or one of its ancestors.

since: 3.12

e_collection_backend_ref_server

Returns the ESourceRegistryServer to which backend belongs.

since: 3.6

e_collection_backend_schedule_populate

Schedules a call to populate() of the backend on idle. The function does nothing in case the backend is offline.

since: 3.30

e_collection_backend_thaw_populate

Thaws populate of the backend’s content. This is a pair function for e_collection_backend_freeze_populate().

since: 3.38

Methods inherited from EBackend (21)
e_backend_credentials_required

Asynchronously calls the e_backend_credentials_required_sync() on the backend, to inform clients that credentials are required.

since: 3.16

e_backend_credentials_required_finish

Finishes the operation started with e_backend_credentials_required().

since: 3.16

e_backend_credentials_required_sync

Synchronously lets the clients know that the backned requires credentials to be properly opened. It’s a proxy function for e_source_invoke_credentials_required_sync(), where can be found more information about actual parameters meaning.

since: 3.16

e_backend_ensure_online_state_updated

Makes sure that the “online” property is updated, that is, if there is any destination reachability test pending, it’ll be done immediately and the only state will be updated as well.

since: 3.18

e_backend_ensure_source_status_connected

Makes sure that the associated ESource::connection-status is connected. This is useful in cases when the backend can connect to the destination without invoking EBackendClass.authenticate_sync(), possibly through e_backend_schedule_authenticate().

since: 3.18

e_backend_get_destination_address

Provides destination server host name and port to which the backend connects. This is used to determine required connection point for e_backend_is_destination_reachable(). The host is a newly allocated string, which will be freed with g_free(). When backend sets both host and port, then it should return TRUE, indicating it’s a remote backend. Default implementation returns FALSE, which is treated like the backend is local, no checking for server reachability is possible.

since: 3.8

e_backend_get_network_monitor

Returns a GNetworkMonitor used to check whether the backend can access the remote server. The instance is owned by the backend.

since: 3.50

e_backend_get_online

Returns the online state of backend: TRUE if backend is online, FALSE if offline.

since: 3.4

e_backend_get_source

Returns the ESource to which backend is paired.

since: 3.4

e_backend_get_user_prompter

Gets an instance of EUserPrompter, associated with this backend.

since: 3.8

e_backend_is_destination_reachable

Checks whether the backend‘s destination server, as returned by e_backend_get_destination_address(), is reachable. If the e_backend_get_destination_address() returns FALSE, this function returns TRUE, meaning the destination is always reachable. This uses GNetworkMonitor‘s g_network_monitor_can_reach() for reachability tests.

since: 3.8

e_backend_prepare_shutdown

Let’s the backend know that it’ll be shut down shortly, no client connects to it anymore. The backend can free any resources which reference it, for example the opened views.

since: 3.16

e_backend_ref_connectable

Returns the socket endpoint for the network service to which backend is a client, or NULL if backend does not use network sockets.

since: 3.8

e_backend_ref_main_context

Returns the GMainContext on which event sources for backend are to be attached.

since: 3.8

e_backend_schedule_authenticate

Schedules a new authenticate session, cancelling any previously run. This is usually done automatically, when an ‘authenticate’ signal is received for the associated ESource. With NULL credentials an attempt without it is run.

since: 3.16

e_backend_schedule_credentials_required

Asynchronously invokes e_backend_credentials_required(), but installs its own callback which only prints a runtime warning on the console when the call fails. The who_calls is a prefix of the console message. This is useful when the caller just wants to start the operation without having actual place where to show the operation result.

since: 3.16

e_backend_set_connectable

Sets the socket endpoint for the network service to which backend is a client. This can be NULL if backend does not use network sockets.

since: 3.8

e_backend_set_online

Sets the online state of backend: TRUE if backend is online, FALSE if offline.

since: 3.4

e_backend_trust_prompt

Initiates a user trust prompt with given parameters.

since: 3.8

e_backend_trust_prompt_finish

Finishes the operation started with e_backend_trust_prompt(). If an error occurred, the function will set error and return E_TRUST_PROMPT_RESPONSE_UNKNOWN.

since: 3.8

e_backend_trust_prompt_sync

Asks a user a trust prompt with given parameters, and returns what user responded. This blocks until the response is delivered.

since: 3.8
