Declaration [src]
gboolean
save_contact_sync (
EBookMetaBackend* meta_backend,
gboolean overwrite_existing,
EConflictResolution conflict_resolution,
EContact* contact,
const gchar* extra,
guint32 opflags,
gchar** out_new_uid,
gchar** out_new_extra,
GCancellable* cancellable,
GError** error
)
Description [src]
Saves one contact into the remote side. When the overwrite_existing is TRUE, then
the descendant can overwrite an object with the same UID on the remote side
(usually used for modify). The conflict_resolution defines what to do when
the remote side had made any changes to the object since the last update.
The contact has already converted locally stored photos and logos
into inline variants, thus it’s not needed to call
e_book_meta_backend_inline_local_photos_sync() by the descendant.
The out_new_uid can be populated with a UID of the saved contact as the server
assigned it to it. This UID, if set, is loaded from the remote side afterwards,
also to see whether any changes had been made to the contact by the remote side.
The out_new_extra can be populated with a new extra data to save with the contact.
Left it NULL, to keep the same value as the extra.
The descendant can use an #E_CLIENT_ERROR_OUT_OF_SYNC error to indicate that
the save failed due to made changes on the remote side, and let the meta_backend
resolve this conflict based on the conflict_resolution on its own.
The #E_CLIENT_ERROR_OUT_OF_SYNC error should not be used when the descendant
is able to resolve the conflicts itself.
It is mandatory to implement this virtual method by the writable descendant.

overwrite_existing-
Type:
gbooleanTRUEwhen can overwrite existing contacts,FALSEotherwise. conflict_resolution-
Type:
EConflictResolutionOne of
EConflictResolution, what to do on conflicts. contact-
Type:
EContactAn
EContactto save.The data is owned by the caller of the method. extra-
Type:
const gchar*Extra data saved with the contacts in an
EBookCache.The argument can be NULL.The data is owned by the caller of the method. The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string. opflags-
Type:
guint32Bit-or of EBookOperationFlags.
out_new_uid-
Type:
gchar**Return location for the UID of the saved contact.
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_new_extra-
Type:
gchar**Return location for the extra data to store with the contact.
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. cancellable-
Type:
GCancellableOptional
GCancellableobject, orNULL.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 aNULLGError*.The argument will be left initialized to NULLby 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.
