EBackendBackendis_destination_reachable

since: 3.8

Declaration [src]

gboolean
e_backend_is_destination_reachable (
  EBackend* backend,
  GCancellable* cancellable,
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

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.

Available since: 3.8

Parameters

cancellable

Type: GCancellable

A GCancellable instance, or NULL.

The argument can be NULL.
The data is owned by the caller of the method.
error

Type: GError **

The return location for a recoverable error.

The argument can be NULL.
If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to a NULL GError*.
The argument will be left initialized to NULL by the method if there are no errors.
In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

Return value

Type: gboolean

TRUE, when destination server address is reachable or the backend doesn’t provide destination address; FALSE if the backend destination server cannot be reached currently.
