Constructor

EDataServerSourcenew

since: 3.6

Declaration [src]

ESource*
e_source_new (
  GDBusObject* dbus_object,
  GMainContext* main_context,
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

Creates a new ESource instance.

The ESource::changed signal will be emitted from main_context if given, or else from the thread-default GMainContext at the time this function is called.

The only time the function should be called outside of ESourceRegistry is to create a so-called “scratch” ESource for editing in a Properties window or an account setup assistant.

FIXME: Elaborate on scratch sources.

Available since: 3.6

Parameters

dbus_object

Type: GDBusObject

A GDBusObject or NULL.

The argument can be NULL.
The data is owned by the caller of the function.
main_context

Type: GMainContext

A GMainContext or NULL.

The argument can be NULL.
The data is owned by the caller of the function.
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 constructor 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.

Return value

Type: ESource

A new ESource, or NULL on error.

The caller of the function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
