Virtual Method

EBackendCollectionBackendcreate_resource_sync

since: 3.6

Declaration [src]

gboolean
create_resource_sync (
  ECollectionBackend* backend,
  ESource* source,
  GCancellable* cancellable,
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

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

It is the implementor’s responsibility to examine source and determine what the equivalent server-side resource would be. If this cannot be determined without ambiguity, the function must return an error.

After the server-side resource is successfully created, the implementor must also add an ESource to backends ECollectionBackend:server. This can either be done immediately or in response to some “resource created” notification from the server. The added ESource can be source itself or a different ESource instance that describes the new resource.

If an error occurs, the function will set error and return FALSE.

Available since: 3.6

Parameters

source

Type: ESource

An ESource.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.
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.
