Data Structures

struct  QofBackendOption_s

Backend Configuration using KVP

The backend uses qof_backend_get_config to pass back a KvpFrame of QofBackendOption that includes the translated strings that serve as description and tooltip for that option.

qof_backend_prepare_frame, qof_backend_prepare_option and qof_backend_complete_frame are intended to be used by the backend itself to create the options.

qof_backend_get_config, qof_backend_option_foreach and qof_backend_load_config are intended for either the backend or the frontend to retrieve the option data from the frame or set new data.

Backends are loaded using QofBackendProvider via the function specified in prov->backend_new. Before backend_new returns, you should ensure that your backend is fully configured and ready for use.

Typedefs

typedef gint32 QofErrorId
 The ID of this error.
typedef struct QofBackendProvider_s QofBackendProvider
typedef struct QofBackend_s QofBackend
 Pseudo-object providing an interface between the framework and a persistant data store (e.g. a server, a database, or a file).

Functions

gboolean qof_load_backend_library (const gchar *directory, const gchar *filename, const gchar *init_fcn)
 Load a QOF-compatible backend shared library.
QofBackendqof_book_get_backend (QofBook *book)
 Retrieve the backend used by this book.
void qof_book_set_backend (QofBook *book, QofBackend *)
 Set the backend used by this book.
Allow access to the begin routine for this backend.
QOF_BEGIN_EDIT and QOF_COMMIT_EDIT_PART1 and part2 rely on calling QofBackend *be->begin and be->commit. This means the QofBackend struct becomes part of the public API. These function replaces those calls to allow the macros to be used when QOF is built as a library.

void qof_backend_run_begin (QofBackend *be, QofInstance *inst)
gboolean qof_backend_begin_exists (QofBackend *be)
void qof_backend_run_commit (QofBackend *be, QofInstance *inst)
gboolean qof_backend_commit_exists (QofBackend *be)
