Adds view to backend for querying.
an #EDataBookView
Creates a binding between source_property on source and target_property
on target.
Whenever the source_property is changed the target_property is
updated using the same value. For instance:
g_object_bind_property (action, "active", widget, "sensitive", 0);
Will result in the "sensitive" property of the widget #GObject instance to be updated with the same value of the "active" property of the action #GObject instance.
If flags contains %G_BINDING_BIDIRECTIONAL then the binding will be mutual:
if target_property on target changes then the source_property on source
will be updated as well.
The binding will automatically be removed when either the source or the
target instances are finalized. To remove the binding without affecting the
source and the target you can just call g_object_unref() on the returned
#GBinding instance.
Removing the binding by calling g_object_unref() on it must only be done if
the binding, source and target are only used from a single thread and it
is clear that both source and target outlive the binding. Especially it
is not safe to rely on this if the binding, source or target can be
finalized from different threads. Keep another reference to the binding and
use g_binding_unbind() instead to be on the safe side.
A #GObject can have multiple bindings.

Increases the freeze count on object. If the freeze count is
non-zero, the emission of "notify" signals on object is
stopped. The signals are queued until the freeze count is decreased
to zero. Duplicate notifications are squashed so that at most one
#GObject::notify signal is emitted for each property modified while the
object is frozen.
This is necessary for accessors that modify multiple properties to prevent premature notification while the object is still being modified.

Gets a named field from the objects table of associations (see g_object_set_data()).
name of the key for that association
Provides destination server host name and port to which
the backend connects. This is used to determine required
connection point for e_backend_is_destination_reachable().
The host is a newly allocated string, which will be freed
with g_free(). When backend sets both host and port, then
it should return %TRUE, indicating it's a remote backend.
Default implementation returns %FALSE, which is treated
like the backend is local, no checking for server reachability
is possible.
Tries to create an #EDataBookDirect for backend if
backend supports direct read access.
Returns the online state of backend: %TRUE if backend is online,
%FALSE if offline.
If the #EBackend:connectable property is non-%NULL, the backend will
automatically determine whether the network service should be reachable,
and hence whether the backend is #EBackend:online. But subclasses may
override the online state if, for example, a connection attempt fails.
Gets a property of an object.
The value can be:
In general, a copy is made of the property contents and the caller is responsible for freeing the memory by calling g_value_unset().
Note that g_object_get_property() is really intended for language bindings, g_object_get() is much more convenient for C programming.

Checks whether the backend<!-- -->'s destination server, as returned
by e_backend_get_destination_address(), is reachable.
If the e_backend_get_destination_address() returns %FALSE, this function
returns %TRUE, meaning the destination is always reachable.
This uses #GNetworkMonitor's g_network_monitor_can_reach()
for reachability tests.
a #GCancellable instance, or %NULL
Checks whether object has a [floating][floating-ref] reference.
Checks if backend's storage has been opened (and
authenticated, if necessary) and the backend itself
is ready for accessing. This property is changed automatically
after the backend is successfully opened.
Checks if we can write to backend.
Returns a list of #EDataBookView instances added with e_book_backend_add_view().
The views returned in the list are referenced for thread-safety. They must each be unreferenced with g_object_unref() when finished with them. Free the returned list itself with g_list_free().
An easy way to free the list properly in one step is as follows:

Emits a "notify" signal for the property property_name on object.
When possible, eg. when signaling a property change from within the class that registered the property, you should use g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead.
Note that emission of the notify signal may be blocked with g_object_freeze_notify(). In this case, the signal emissions are queued and will be emitted (in reverse order) when g_object_thaw_notify() is called.
the name of a property installed on the class of object.
Emits a "notify" signal for the property specified by pspec on object.
This function omits the property name lookup, hence it is faster than g_object_notify().
One way to avoid using g_object_notify() from within the class that registered the properties, and using g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead, is to store the GParamSpec used with g_object_class_install_property() inside a static array, e.g.:
enum
{
PROP_0,
PROP_FOO,
PROP_LAST
};
static GParamSpec *properties[PROP_LAST];
static void
my_object_class_init (MyObjectClass *klass)
{
properties[PROP_FOO] = g_param_spec_int ("foo", "Foo", "The foo",
0, 100,
50,
G_PARAM_READWRITE);
g_object_class_install_property (gobject_class,
PROP_FOO,
properties[PROP_FOO]);
}
and then notify a change on the "foo" property with:
g_object_notify_by_pspec (self, properties[PROP_FOO]);
the #GParamSpec of a property installed on the class of object.

or one of its ancestors.
The returned #GProxyResolver is referenced for thread-safety and must be unreferenced with g_object_unref() when finished with it.
Increase the reference count of object, and possibly remove the
[floating][floating-ref] reference, if object has a floating reference.
In other words, if the object is floating, then this call "assumes ownership" of the floating reference, converting it to a normal reference by clearing the floating flag while leaving the reference count unchanged. If the object is not floating, then this call adds a new normal reference increasing the reference count by one.
Since GLib 2.56, the type of object will be propagated to the return type
under the same conditions as for g_object_ref().
Initiates a refresh for backend, if the backend supports refreshing.

Each object carries around a table of associations from strings to pointers. This function lets you set an association.
If the object already had an association with that name, the old association will be destroyed.
Internally, the key is converted to a #GQuark using g_quark_from_string().
This means a copy of key is kept permanently (even after object has been
finalized) — so it is recommended to only use a small, bounded set of values
for key in your program, to avoid the #GQuark storage growing unbounded.

This function gets back user data pointers stored via
g_object_set_qdata() and removes the data from object
without invoking its destroy() function (if any was

Using g_object_get_qdata() in the above example, instead of g_object_steal_qdata() would have left the destroy function set, and thus the partial string list would have been freed upon g_object_set_qdata_full().
A #GQuark, naming the user data pointer
Stops running the query specified by view, emitting no more signals.
the #EDataBookView to stop
Reverts the effect of a previous call to
g_object_freeze_notify(). The freeze count is decreased on object
and when it reaches zero, queued "notify" signals are emitted.
Duplicate notifications for each property are squashed so that at most one #GObject::notify signal is emitted for each property, in the reverse order in which they have been queued.
It is an error to call this function when the freeze count is zero.
Initiates a user trust prompt with given parameters.
When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then
call e_backend_trust_prompt_finish() to get the result of the operation.
an #ENamedParameters with values for the trust prompt
optional #GCancellable object, or %NULL
a #GAsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied
Finishes the operation started with e_backend_trust_prompt().
If an error occurred, the function will set error and return
%E_TRUST_PROMPT_RESPONSE_UNKNOWN.
a #GAsyncResult
Asks a user a trust prompt with given parameters, and returns what
user responded. This blocks until the response is delivered.
an #ENamedParameters with values for the trust prompt
optional #GCancellable object, or %NULL
Decreases the reference count of object. When its reference count
drops to 0, the object is finalized (i.e. its memory is freed).
If the pointer to the #GObject may be reused in future (for example, if it is an instance variable of another object), it is recommended to clear the pointer to %NULL rather than retain a dangling pointer to a potentially invalid #GObject instance. Use g_clear_object() for this.
Provides destination server host name and port to which
the backend connects. This is used to determine required
connection point for e_backend_is_destination_reachable().
The host is a newly allocated string, which will be freed
with g_free(). When backend sets both host and port, then
it should return %TRUE, indicating it's a remote backend.
Default implementation returns %FALSE, which is treated
like the backend is local, no checking for server reachability
is possible.
Emits a "notify" signal for the property property_name on object.
When possible, eg. when signaling a property change from within the class that registered the property, you should use g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead.
Note that emission of the notify signal may be blocked with g_object_freeze_notify(). In this case, the signal emissions are queued and will be emitted (in reverse order) when g_object_thaw_notify() is called.
Let's the backend know that it'll be shut down shortly, no client connects
to it anymore. The backend can free any resources which reference it, for
example the opened views.
This function essentially limits the life time of the closure to
the life time of the object. That is, when the object is finalized,
the closure is invalidated by calling g_closure_invalidate() on
it, in order to prevent invocations of the closure with a finalized
(nonexisting) object. Also, g_object_ref() and g_object_unref() are
added as marshal guards to the closure, to ensure that an extra
reference count is held on object during invocation of the
closure. Usually, this function will be called on closures that
use this object as closure data.

Find the #GParamSpec with the given name for an
interface. Generally, the interface vtable passed in as g_iface
will be the default vtable from g_type_default_interface_ref(), or,
if you know the interface has already been loaded,
g_type_default_interface_peek().
any interface vtable for the interface, or the default vtable for the interface
name of a property to look up.
Add a property to an interface; this is only useful for interfaces that are added to GObject-derived types. Adding a property to an interface forces all objects classes with that interface to have a compatible property. The compatible property could be a newly created #GParamSpec, but normally g_object_class_override_property() will be used so that the object class only needs to provide an implementation and inherits the property description, default value, bounds, and so forth from the interface property.
This function is meant to be called from the interface's default
vtable initialization function (the class_init member of
#GTypeInfo.) It must not be called after after class_init has
been called for any object types implementing this interface.
If pspec is a floating reference, it will be consumed.
