const gchar * e_get_user_cache_dir (void

Returns a base directory in which to store user-specific, non-essential cached data for Evolution or Evolution-Data-Server.
The returned string is owned by libedataserver and must not be modified or freed.
Returns : |
base directory for user-specific, non-essential data |
Since 2.32

);
Returns a base directory in which to store user-specific configuration information for Evolution or Evolution-Data-Server.
The returned string is owned by libedataserver and must not be modified or freed.
Returns : |
base directory for user-specific configuration information |
Since 2.32
const gchar * e_get_user_data_dir (void
);
Returns a base directory in which to store user-specific data for Evolution or Evolution-Data-Server.
The returned string is owned by libedataserver and must not be modified or freed.
Returns : |
base directory for user-specific data |
Since 2.32
gchar * e_util_strstrcase (const gchar *haystack
,const gchar *needle
);
Find the first instance of needle
in haystack
, ignoring case for
bytes that are ASCII characters.
|
The string to search in. |
|
The string to search for. |
Returns : |
A pointer to the start of needle in haystack , or NULL if
needle is not found. |
gchar * e_util_unicode_get_utf8 (const gchar *text
,gunichar *out
);
Get a UTF-8 character from the beginning of text
.
|
The string to take the UTF-8 character from. |
|
The location to store the UTF-8 character in. |
Returns : |
A pointer to the next character in text after out . |
const gchar * e_util_utf8_strstrcase (const gchar *haystack
,const gchar *needle
);
Find the first instance of needle
in haystack
, ignoring case. (No
proper case folding or decomposing is done.) Both needle
and
haystack
are UTF-8 strings.
|
The string to search in. |
|
The string to search for. |
Returns : |
A pointer to the first instance of needle in haystack , or
NULL if no match is found, or if either of the strings are
not legal UTF-8 strings. |
const gchar * e_util_utf8_strstrcasedecomp (const gchar *haystack
,const gchar *needle
);
Find the first instance of needle
in haystack
, where both needle
and haystack
are UTF-8 strings. Both strings are stripped and
decomposed for comparison, and case is ignored.
|
The string to search in. |
|
The string to search for. |
Returns : |
A pointer to the first instance of needle in haystack , or
NULL if either of the strings are not legal UTF-8 strings. |
gint e_util_utf8_strcasecmp (const gchar *s1
,const gchar *s2
);
Compares two UTF-8 strings using approximate case-insensitive ordering.
|
a UTF-8 string |
|
another UTF-8 string |
Returns : |
< 0 if s1 compares before s2 , 0 if they compare equal,
> 0 if s1 compares after s2
|
gchar * e_util_utf8_remove_accents (const gchar *str
);
Returns a newly-allocated copy of str
with accents removed.
|
a UTF-8 string, or NULL
|
Returns : |
a newly-allocated string |
Since 2.28
gchar * e_util_utf8_make_valid (const gchar *str
);
Returns a newly-allocated copy of str
, with invalid characters
replaced by Unicode replacement characters (U+FFFD).
|
a UTF-8 string |
Returns : |
a newly-allocated string |
Since 3.0
const gchar * e_util_ensure_gdbus_string (const gchar *str
,gchar **gdbus_str
);
If str
is a valid UTF-8 string, the function returns str
and does
not set gdbus_str
.
If str
is an invalid UTF-8 string, the function calls
e_util_utf8_make_valid()
and points gdbus_str
to the newly-allocated,
valid UTF-8 string, and also returns it. The caller should free the
string pointed to by gdbus_str
with g_free()
.
If str
is NULL
, the function returns an empty string and does not
set gdbus_str
.
Admittedly, the function semantics are a little awkward. The example
below illustrates the easiest way to cope with the gdbus_str
argument:
<informalexample> <programlisting> const gchar *trusted_utf8; gchar *allocated = NULL;
trusted_utf8 = e_util_ensure_gdbus_string (untrusted_utf8, &allocated);
Do stuff with trusted_utf8, then clear it.
trusted_utf8 = NULL;
g_free (allocated); allocated = NULL; </programlisting> </informalexample>
|
a possibly invalid UTF-8 string, or NULL
|
|
return location for the corrected string |
Returns : |
a valid UTF-8 string |
Since 3.0
guint64 e_util_gthread_id (GThread *thread
);
Returns a 64-bit integer hopefully uniquely identifying the thread. To be used in debugging output and logging only. The returned value is just a cast of a pointer to the 64-bit integer.
There is no guarantee that calling e_util_gthread_id()
on one
thread first and later after that thread has dies on another won't
return the same integer.
On Linux and Win32, known to really return a unique id for each thread existing at a certain time. No guarantee that ids won't be reused after a thread has terminated, though.
|
A GThread pointer |
Returns : |
A 64-bit integer. |
Since 2.32
gsize e_utf8_strftime (gchar *string
,gsize max
,const gchar *fmt
,const struct tm *tm
);
The UTF-8 equivalent of e_strftime()
.
|
The string array to store the result in. |
|
The size of array s . |
|
The formatting to use on tm . |
|
The time value to format. |
Returns : |
The number of characters placed in s . |
gsize e_strftime (gchar *string
,gsize max
,const gchar *fmt
,const struct tm *tm
);
This function is a wrapper around the strftime (3) function, which converts the %l and %k (12h and 24h) format variables if necessary.
|
The string array to store the result in. |
|
The size of array s . |
|
The formatting to use on tm . |
|
The time value to format. |
Returns : |
The number of characters placed in s . |
gchar * e_util_replace_prefix (const gchar *configure_time_prefix
,const gchar *runtime_prefix
,const gchar *configure_time_path
);
gint e_data_server_util_get_dbus_call_timeout
(void
);
Returns the value set by e_data_server_util_set_dbus_call_timeout()
.
Returns : |
the D-Bus call timeout in milliseconds |
Since 3.0
void e_data_server_util_set_dbus_call_timeout
(gint timeout_msec
);
Sets default timeout, in milliseconds, for calls of g_dbus_proxy_call()
family functions.
-1 means the default value as set by D-Bus itself. G_MAXINT means no timeout at all.
Default value is set also by configure option --with-dbus-call-timeout=ms and -1 is used when not set.
|
default timeout for D-Bus calls in miliseconds |
Since 3.0
