search_uids_sync

Description:

public virtual bool search_uids_sync (string? expr, out SList<string> out_uids, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error

Searches this with given expression expr and returns found contact UID-s as a SList out_contacts.

Free the returned out_uids with g_slist_free_full (uids, g_free); when no longer needed. When the expr is null, all UID-s are returned. To get Contact(s) instead, call search_sync.

It is optional to implement this virtual method by the descendant. The default implementation searches this 's cache. It's also not required to be online for searching, thus this doesn't ensure it.

Parameters:

this	an BookMetaBackend
expr	a search expression, or null
out_uids	return location for the found contact UID-s
cancellable	optional Cancellable object, or null

Returns:

Whether succeeded.
