FOLKS_TYPE_BACKEND

#define FOLKS_TYPE_BACKEND (folks_backend_get_type ())

The type for FolksBackend.

struct FolksBackend

struct FolksBackend {
	GObject parent_instance;
	FolksBackendPrivate * priv;
};

A single backend to libfolks, such as Telepathy or evolution-data-server. Each backend provides FolksPersonas which are aggregated to form FolksIndividuals.

After creating a Backend instance, you must connect to the "persona-store-added" and "persona-store-removed" signals, then call folks_backend_prepare(), otherwise a race condition may occur between emission of "persona-store-added" and your code connecting to it.

struct FolksBackendClass

struct FolksBackendClass {
	GObjectClass parent_class;
	void (*disable_persona_store) (FolksBackend* self, FolksPersonaStore* store);
	void (*enable_persona_store) (FolksBackend* self, FolksPersonaStore* store);
	void (*set_persona_stores) (FolksBackend* self, GeeSet* storeids);
	void (*prepare) (FolksBackend* self, GAsyncReadyCallback _callback_, gpointer _user_data_);
	void (*prepare_finish) (FolksBackend* self, GAsyncResult* _res_, GError** error);
	void (*unprepare) (FolksBackend* self, GAsyncReadyCallback _callback_, gpointer _user_data_);
	void (*unprepare_finish) (FolksBackend* self, GAsyncResult* _res_, GError** error);
	gboolean (*get_is_prepared) (FolksBackend* self);
	gboolean (*get_is_quiescent) (FolksBackend* self);
	const gchar* (*get_name) (FolksBackend* self);
	GeeMap* (*get_persona_stores) (FolksBackend* self);
