get_attribute

Description:

public unowned VCardAttribute? get_attribute (string name)

Get the attribute name from this.

The VCardAttribute is owned by this and should not be freed. If the attribute does not exist, null is returned.

<note><para>This will only return the <emphasis>first</emphasis> attribute with the given name. To get other attributes of that name (for example, other <code>TEL</code> attributes if a contact has multiple telephone numbers) , use get_attributes and iterate over the list searching for matching attributes. </para> <para>This method iterates over all attributes in the VCard, so should not be called often. If extracting a large number of attributes from a vCard, it is more efficient to iterate once over the list returned by get_attributes.</para></note>

Parameters:

this	an VCard
name	the name of the attribute to get

Returns:

An VCardAttribute if found, or null.
