Method

EDataServerSourceget_extension

since: 3.6

Declaration [src]

EDataServerSourceExtension*
e_source_get_extension (
  ESource* source,
  const gchar* extension_name
)

Description [src]

Returns an instance of some ESourceExtension subclass which registered itself under extension_name. If no such instance exists within source, one will be created. It is the caller’s responsibility to know which subclass is being returned.

If you just want to test for the existence of an extension within source without creating it, use e_source_has_extension().

Extension instances are owned by their ESource and should not be referenced directly. Instead, reference the ESource instance and use this function to fetch the extension instance as needed.

Available since: 3.6

An extension name.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.
The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.

Return value

Type: ESourceExtension

An instance of some ESourceExtension subclass.

The returned data is owned by the instance.
