Detailed Description

Function Documentation

gint gnc_state_drop_sections_for

(

const gchar *

partial_name

)

Drop all sections from the state file whose name contains partial_name.

This function is meant to be called when an object is deleted for which state is kept. For example, when an account is deleted from GnuCash, all state sections that refer to it should get removed. In that case you can call this function with the account's guid as parameter.

Parameters

partial_name

a string to match in the section names for most objects in GnuCash that maintain state, this will be the object's guid

Returns

The number of successfully dropped sections.

GKeyFile* gnc_state_get_current

(

void

)

Returns a pointer to the most recently loaded state.

Returns

A pointer to a GKeyFile that holds the current state information. If there is no current state, an empty state is returned (not NULL!). This pointer should never be freed, except when gnucash is exiting !

        PINFO ("No pre-existing state found, creating new one");

    }

    return state_file;

}

GKeyFile* gnc_state_load

(

const QofSession *

session

)

Load the state from a state file on disk for the given session.

Parameters

session

The session to load the state for.

Returns

A pointer to a GKeyFile that holds the state information for the given session. If no state file was found an empty state is returned (not NULL!). This pointer should never be freed, except when gnucash is exiting !

void gnc_state_save

(

const QofSession *

session

)

Parameters

session

The session to save the state for.
