Virtual Method
EDataBookBookMetaBackendsearch_uids_sync
since: 3.26
Declaration [src]
gboolean
search_uids_sync (
EBookMetaBackend* meta_backend,
const gchar* expr,
GSList** out_uids,
GCancellable* cancellable,
GError** error
)
Description [src]
Searches meta_backend with given expression expr and returns
found contact UID-s as a GSList out_contacts.
Free the returned out_uids with g_slist_free_full (uids, g_free);
when no longer needed.
When the expr is NULL, all UID-s are returned. To get EContact(s)
instead, call e_book_meta_backend_search_sync().
It is optional to implement this virtual method by the descendant.
The default implementation searches meta_backend‘s cache. It’s also
not required to be online for searching, thus meta_backend doesn’t
ensure it.
