Function Documentation

◆ icalparameter_as_ical_string()

char * icalparameter_as_ical_string ( icalparameter * parameter )

Converts icalparameter into a string representation.

Parameters

parameter The icalparameter to convert

Returns: A string representing the parameter according to RFC5445/RFC6868.

See also: icalparameter_as_ical_string_r()

Error handling: If there is any error, the method returns NULL. Furthermore, if parameter is NULL, it also sets icalerrno to ICAL_BADARG_ERROR. If it doesn't recognize the kind of the parameter, it sets icalerrno it ICAL_BADARG_ERROR. If the parameter is otherwise malformed, it sets icalerrno to ICAL_MALFORMEDDATA_ERROR.

Ownership: Strings returned by this method are owned by libical, they must not be freed and they may be reclaimed with the next call into the library. A version of this function, which returns strings that are not owned by libical, is icalparameter_as_ical_string_r().

Usage: icalparameter *param = icalparameter_new_from_string("ROLE=CHAIR");

if(param) {

printf("%s\n", icalparameter_as_ical_string(param));

}

icalparameter_free(param);

◆ icalparameter_as_ical_string_r()

char * icalparameter_as_ical_string_r ( icalparameter * parameter )

Converts icalparameter into an string representation according to RFC5445/RFC6868.

Parameters

parameter The icalparameter to convert

Returns: A string representing the parameter

See also: icalparameter_as_ical_string()

Error handling: If there is any error, the method returns NULL. Furthermore, if parameter is NULL, it also sets icalerrno to ICAL_BADARG_ERROR. If it doesn't recognize the kind of the parameter, it sets icalerrno to ICAL_BADARG_ERROR. If the parameter is otherwise malformed, it sets icalerrno to ICAL_MALFORMEDDATA_ERROR.

Ownership: Strings returned by this method are owned by the caller, thus they need to be manually free()d after use. A version of this function which returns strings that do not need to be freed manually is icalparameter_as_ical_string().

Usage: icalparameter *param = icalparameter_new_from_string("ROLE=CHAIR");

if(param) {

char *str = icalparameter_as_ical_string(param);

printf("%s\n", str);

free(str);

}

icalparameter_free(param);

◆ icalparameter_free()

void icalparameter_free ( icalparameter * parameter )

This method needs to be used on all parameter objects returned from any of the _new() methods including icalparameter_new(), icalparameter_new_clone(), icalparameter_new_from_string() and icalparameter_new_from_value_string(), when they are not needed anymore and to be released.

Usage: icalparameter *param = icalparameter_new();
