Virtual Method

EDataCalCalMetaBackendlist_existing_sync

since: 3.26

Declaration [src]

gboolean
list_existing_sync (
  ECalMetaBackend* meta_backend,
  gchar** out_new_sync_tag,
  GSList** out_existing_objects,
  GCancellable* cancellable,
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

Used to get list of all existing objects on the remote side. The descendant can optionally provide out_new_sync_tag, which will be stored on success, if not NULL. The descendant can populate also ECalMetaBackendInfo::object of the out_existing_objects, if known, in which case this will be used instead of loading it with e_cal_meta_backend_load_component_sync().

It is mandatory to implement this virtual method by the descendant, unless it implements its own ECalMetaBackendClass.get_changes_sync().

The out_existing_objects GSList should be freed with g_slist_free_full (objects, e_cal_meta_backend_info_free); when no longer needed.

Available since: 3.26

Parameters

out_new_sync_tag

Type: gchar**

Optional return location for a new sync tag.

The argument will be set by the function.
The caller of the method takes ownership of the returned data, and is responsible for freeing it.
The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
out_existing_objects

Type: A list of None

a GSList of ECalMetaBackendInfo object infos which are stored on the remote side.

The argument will be set by the function.
The caller of the method takes ownership of the returned data, and is responsible for freeing it.
cancellable

Type: GCancellable

Optional GCancellable object, or NULL.

The argument can be NULL.
The data is owned by the caller of the method.
error

Type: GError **

The return location for a recoverable error.

The argument can be NULL.
If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to a NULL GError*.
The argument will be left initialized to NULL by the virtual function if there are no errors.
In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

Return value

Type: gboolean

Whether succeeded.
