e_source_registry_server_add_source ()

void
e_source_registry_server_add_source (ESourceRegistryServer *server,
                                     ESource *source);

Adds source to server .

e_source_registry_server_remove_source ()

void
e_source_registry_server_remove_source
                               (ESourceRegistryServer *server,
                                ESource *source);

Removes source and all of its descendants from server .

e_source_registry_server_load_directory ()

gboolean
e_source_registry_server_load_directory
                               (ESourceRegistryServer *server,
                                const gchar *path,
                                ESourcePermissionFlags flags,
                                GError **error);

Loads data source key files in path . Because multiple errors can occur when loading multiple files, error is only set if path can not be opened. If a key file fails to load, the error is broadcast through the “load-error” signal.

If the E_DBUS_LOAD_DIRECTORY_REMOVABLE flag is given, then the server will emit signals on the D-Bus interface when key files are created or deleted in path .

e_source_registry_server_load_resource ()

gboolean
e_source_registry_server_load_resource
                               (ESourceRegistryServer *server,
                                GResource *resource,

                                ESourcePermissionFlags flags,
                                GError **error);

Loads data source key files from resource by enumerating the children at path and calling e_source_registry_server_load_file() on each child. Because multiple errors can occur when loading multiple files, error is only set if path is invalid. If a key file fails to load, the error is broadcast through the “load-error” signal.

Since 3.8

e_source_registry_server_load_file ()

ESource *
e_source_registry_server_load_file (ESourceRegistryServer *server,
                                    GFile *file,
                                    ESourcePermissionFlags flags,
                                    GError **error);

Creates an ESource for a native key file and adds it to server . If an error occurs, the function returns NULL and sets error .

The returned ESource is referenced for thread-safety. Unreference the ESource with g_object_unref() when finished with it.

Since 3.6

e_source_registry_server_load_error ()

void
e_source_registry_server_load_error (ESourceRegistryServer *server,
                                     GFile *file,
                                     const GError *error);

Emits the “load-error” signal.

Since 3.6

e_source_registry_server_ref_source ()

ESource *
e_source_registry_server_ref_source (ESourceRegistryServer *server,
                                     const gchar *uid);

Looks up an ESource in server by its unique identifier string.

The returned ESource is referenced for thread-safety and must be unreferenced with g_object_unref() when finished with it.

Since 3.6

e_source_registry_server_list_sources ()

GList *
e_source_registry_server_list_sources (ESourceRegistryServer *server,
                                       const gchar *extension_name);

Returns a list of registered sources, sorted by display name. If extension_name is given, restrict the list to sources having that extension name.

The sources returned in the list are referenced for thread-safety. They must each be unreferenced with g_object_unref() when finished with them. Free the returned GList itself with g_list_free().

An easy way to free the list properly in one step is as follows:

  g_list_free_full (list, g_object_unref);

Since 3.6

e_source_registry_server_find_extension ()

ESource *
e_source_registry_server_find_extension
                               (ESourceRegistryServer *server,
                                ESource *source,
                                const gchar *extension_name);

Examines source and its ancestors and returns the "deepest" ESource having an ESourceExtension with the given extension_name . If neither source nor any of its ancestors have such an extension, the function returns NULL.

This function is useful in cases when an ESourceExtension is meant to apply to both the ESource it belongs to and the ESource's descendants.

A common example is the ESourceCollection extension, where descendants of an ESource having an ESourceCollection extension are implied to be members of that collection. In that example, this function can be used to test whether source is a member of a collection.

The returned ESource is referenced for thread-safety and must be unreferenced with g_object_unref() when finished with it.

Note the function returns the ESource containing the ESourceExtension instead of the ESourceExtension itself because extension instances are not to be referenced directly (see e_source_get_extension()).

Since 3.8

e_source_registry_server_ref_backend ()

ECollectionBackend *
e_source_registry_server_ref_backend (ESourceRegistryServer *server,
                                      ESource *source);

Returns the ECollectionBackend associated with source , or NULL if there is no ECollectionBackend associated with source .

An ESource is associated with an ECollectionBackend if the ESource has an ESourceCollection extension, or if it is a hierarchical descendant of another ESource which has an ESourceCollection extension.

The returned ECollectionBackend is referenced for thread-safety. Unreference the ECollectionBackend with g_object_unref() when finished with it.

Since 3.6

e_source_registry_server_ref_backend_factory ()

ECollectionBackendFactory *
e_source_registry_server_ref_backend_factory
                               (ESourceRegistryServer *server,
                                ESource *source);

returns NULL.

The returned ECollectionBackendFactory is referenced for thread-safety. Unreference the ECollectionBackendFactory with g_object_unref() when finished with it.

Since 3.6

e_source_registry_server_new_auth_session ()

EAuthenticationSession *
e_source_registry_server_new_auth_session
                               (ESourceRegistryServer *server,
                                ESourceAuthenticator *authenticator,
                                const gchar *source_uid);

Convenience function instantiates an appropriate authentication session type for source_uid .

If server has an EServerSideSource instance for source_uid , then its “auth-session-type” is used to instantiate a new authentication session. Otherwise a plain EAuthenticationSession is instantiated.

Unreference the returned EAuthenticationSession with g_object_unref() when finished with it.

Since 3.8

e_source_registry_server_authenticate_sync ()

gboolean
e_source_registry_server_authenticate_sync
                               (ESourceRegistryServer *server,
                                EAuthenticationSession *session,
                                GCancellable *cancellable,
                                GError **error);

Queues the session behind any ongoing or pending authentication sessions for the same data source, and eventually executes session (see e_authentication_session_execute_sync() for more details).

This function blocks until session is finished executing. For a non-blocking variation see e_source_registry_server_authenticate().

If an error occurs, the function sets error and returns FALSE.

Since 3.6

e_source_registry_server_authenticate ()

void
e_source_registry_server_authenticate (ESourceRegistryServer *server,
                                       EAuthenticationSession *session,
                                       GCancellable *cancellable,
                                       GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                                       gpointer user_data);

Queues the session behind any ongoing or pending authentication sessions for the same data source, and eventually executes session (see e_authentication_session_execute_sync() for more details).

This function returns immediately after enqueuing session . When session is finished executing, callback will be called. You can then call e_source_registry_server_authenticate_finish() to get the result of the operation.

Since 3.6

e_source_registry_server_authenticate_finish ()

gboolean
e_source_registry_server_authenticate_finish
                               (ESourceRegistryServer *server,

                                GError **error);

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

Since 3.6

e_source_registry_server_load_all ()

gboolean
e_source_registry_server_load_all (ESourceRegistryServer *server,
                                   GError **error);

Loads data source key files from standard system-wide and user-specific locations. Because multiple errors can occur when loading multiple files, error is only set if a directory can not be opened. If a data source key file fails to load, the error is broadcast through the “load-error” signal.

Since 3.6

E_SOURCE_REGISTRY_SERVER_OBJECT_PATH

#define             E_SOURCE_REGISTRY_SERVER_OBJECT_PATH

D-Bus object path of the data source server.

The “files-loaded” signal

void
user_function (ESourceRegistryServer *server,
               gpointer               user_data)

Emitted after all data source key files are loaded on startup. Extensions can connect to this signal to perform any additional work prior to running the main loop.

Flags: Run Last

The “load-error” signal

void
user_function (ESourceRegistryServer *server,
               GFile                 *file,

               gpointer               user_data)

Emitted when an error occurs while loading or parsing a data source key file.

Flags: Run Last

The “source-added” signal

void
user_function (ESourceRegistryServer *server,
               EServerSideSource     *source,
               gpointer               user_data)

Emitted when an EServerSideSource is added to server .

Flags: Run Last

The “source-removed” signal

void
user_function (ESourceRegistryServer *server,
               EServerSideSource     *source,
               gpointer               user_data)

Emitted when an EServerSideSource is removed from server .

The “tweak-key-file” signal

gboolean
user_function (ESourceRegistryServer *server,
               GKeyFile              *key_file,
               gchar                 *uid,
               gpointer               user_data)

Emitted from e_source_registry_server_load_file() just prior to instantiating an EServerSideSource. Signal handlers can tweak the key_file content as necessary and return TRUE to write the modified content back to disk.

For the purposes of tweaking, it's easier to deal with a plain GKeyFile than an ESource instance. An ESource, for example, does not allow key file groups to be removed.

The return value is cumulative. If any signal handler returns TRUE, the key_file content is written back to disk.
