Prerequisites

FolksNameDetails requires GObject.

Known Implementations

FolksNameDetails is implemented by FolksIndividual.

Description

Represents a full name split in its constituent parts (given name, family name, etc.). This structure corresponds to the "N" field in vCards. The parts of the name are never null: an empty string indicates that a property is not set.

Functions

FOLKS_TYPE_STRUCTURED_NAME

#define FOLKS_TYPE_STRUCTURED_NAME (folks_structured_name_get_type ())

The type for FolksStructuredName.


folks_structured_name_is_empty ()

gboolean
folks_structured_name_is_empty (FolksStructuredName *self);

Whether none of the components is set.

Parameters

self

the FolksStructuredName instance

 

Returns

true if all the components are the empty string, false otherwise.

Since 0.3.5


folks_structured_name_equal ()

gboolean
folks_structured_name_equal (FolksStructuredName *self,
                             FolksStructuredName *other);

Whether two StructuredNames are the same.

Parameters

self

the FolksStructuredName instance

 

other

 .

the other structured name to compare with

.

[in]

Returns

true if all the components are the same, false otherwise.

Since 0.5.0


folks_structured_name_to_string ()

gchar *
folks_structured_name_to_string (FolksStructuredName *self);

Formatted version of the structured name.

Parameters

self

the FolksStructuredName instance

 

Returns

name formatted according to the current locale

Since 0.4.0


folks_structured_name_to_string_with_format ()

gchar *
folks_structured_name_to_string_with_format
                               (FolksStructuredName *self,
                                const gchar *name_fmt);

Formatted version of the structured name.

This allows a custom format string to be specified, using the placeholders described on http://lh.2xlibre.net/values/name_fmt/. This name_fmt must almost always be translated to the current locale. (Ideally it would be translated to the locale of the persona whose name is being formatted, but such locale information isn’t available.)

Parameters

self

the FolksStructuredName instance

 

name_fmt

 .

format string for the name

.

[in]

Returns

name formatted according to the given format

Since 0.9.7

Get and return the current value of the "structured-name" property.

The contact name split in its constituent parts.

Note that most of the time the structured name is not set (i.e. it's null) or just some of the components are set. The components are immutable. To get notification of changes of the structured name, you just have to connect to the notify signal of this property.

Parameters

self

the FolksNameDetails instance to query

const gchar *
folks_name_details_get_full_name (FolksNameDetails *self);

Get and return the current value of the "full-name" property.

The full name of the contact.

The full name is the name of the contact written in the way the contact prefers. For instance for English names this is usually the given name followed by the family name, but Chinese names are usually the family name followed by the given name. The full name could or could not contain additional names (like a middle name), prefixes or suffixes.

The full name must not be null: the empty string represents an unset full name.

Parameters

self

the FolksNameDetails instance to query

 

Returns

the value of the "full-name" property

Since 0.3.5


folks_name_details_set_full_name ()

void

folks_name_details_get_nickname ()

const gchar *
folks_name_details_get_nickname (FolksNameDetails *self);

The nickname must not be null: the empty string represents an unset nickname.

Parameters

self

the FolksNameDetails instance to query

 

Returns

the value of the "nickname" property
