## Types and Values

### enum EBookClientViewFlags

Flags that control the behaviour of an EBookClientView.

#### Members

E_BOOK_CLIENT_VIEW_FLAGS_NONE | Symbolic value for no flags |
E_BOOK_CLIENT_VIEW_FLAGS_NOTIFY_INITIAL | If this flag is set then all contacts matching the view's query will be sent as notifications when starting the view, otherwise only future changes will be reported. The default for an EBookClientView is `TRUE`. |
E_BOOK_CLIENT_VIEW_FLAGS_MANUAL_QUERY | Rather than receiving contact changes one-by-one, be notified only by "content-changed" signal and query contacts by ranges. See `e_book_client_view_set_sort_fields_sync()` for more information. The default is `FALSE`. Since: 3.50 |

Since: 3.4

### enum EBookIndexType

The type of index defined by `e_source_backend_summary_setup_set_indexed_fields()`

#### Members

E_BOOK_INDEX_PREFIX | An index suitable for searching contacts with a prefix pattern |
E_BOOK_INDEX_SUFFIX | An index suitable for searching contacts with a suffix pattern |
E_BOOK_INDEX_PHONE | An index suitable for searching contacts for phone numbers. Phone numbers must be convertible into FQTN according to E.164 to be stored in this index. The number "+9999999" for instance won't be stored because the country calling code "+999" currently is not assigned. |
E_BOOK_INDEX_SORT_KEY | Indicates that a given EContactField should be usable as a sort key. |

### enum EBookCursorSortType

Specifies the sort order of an ordered query

#### Members

E_BOOK_CURSOR_SORT_ASCENDING | Sort results in ascending order |
E_BOOK_CURSOR_SORT_DESCENDING | Sort results in descending order |

Since: 3.12

### enum EBookCursorOrigin

Specifies the start position to in the list of traversed contacts in calls to `e_book_client_cursor_step()`.

When an EBookClientCursor is created, the current position implied by `E_BOOK_CURSOR_ORIGIN_CURRENT` is the same as `E_BOOK_CURSOR_ORIGIN_BEGIN`.

#### Members

E_BOOK_CURSOR_ORIGIN_CURRENT | The current cursor position |
E_BOOK_CURSOR_ORIGIN_BEGIN | The beginning of the cursor results. |
E_BOOK_CURSOR_ORIGIN_END | The ending of the cursor results. |

Since: 3.12

### enum EBookCursorStepFlags

Defines the behaviour of `e_book_client_cursor_step()`.

#### Members

E_BOOK_CURSOR_STEP_MOVE | The cursor position should be modified while stepping |
E_BOOK_CURSOR_STEP_FETCH | Traversed contacts should be listed and returned while stepping. |

Since: 3.12

### enum EBookOperationFlags

Book operation flags, to specify behavior in certain situations. The conflict resolution mode flags cannot be combined together, where the `E_BOOK_OPERATION_FLAG_CONFLICT_KEEP_LOCAL` is the default behavior (and it is used when no other conflict resolution flag is set). The flags can be ignored when the operation or the backend don't support it.

#### Members

E_BOOK_OPERATION_FLAG_NONE | no operation flags defined |
E_BOOK_OPERATION_FLAG_CONFLICT_FAIL | conflict resolution mode, to fail and do not do any changes, when a conflict is detected |
E_BOOK_OPERATION_FLAG_CONFLICT_USE_NEWER | conflict resolution mode, to use newer of the local and the server side data, when a conflict is detected |
E_BOOK_OPERATION_FLAG_CONFLICT_KEEP_SERVER | conflict resolution mode, to use the server data (and local changed), when a conflict is detected |
E_BOOK_OPERATION_FLAG_CONFLICT_KEEP_LOCAL | conflict resolution mode, to use local data (and always overwrite server data), when a conflict is detected |
E_BOOK_OPERATION_FLAG_CONFLICT_WRITE_COPY | conflict resolution mode, to create a copy of the data, when a conflict is detected |

Since: 3.34
