### e_data_book_view_new ()

    EDataBookView *     e_data_book_view_new                (EBookBackend *backend,
                                                             GNOME_Evolution_Addressbook_BookViewListener listener,
                                                             const gchar *card_query,
                                                             EBookBackendSExp *card_sexp,
                                                             gint max_results);

                                                             gint minimum_grouping_threshold,
                                                             gint maximum_grouping_threshold);

Returns : | The CORBA book view listener.

### e_data_book_view_get_mutex ()

    GMutex*             e_data_book_view_get_mutex          (EDataBookView *book_view);

Gets the internal mutex of `book_view`.

`book_view` : | an EDataBookView
Returns : | The GMutex for `book_view`.

### e_data_book_view_notify_update ()

    void                e_data_book_view_notify_update      (EDataBookView *book_view,
                                                             EContact *contact);

Notify listeners that `contact` has changed. This can trigger an add, change or removal event depending on whether the change causes the contact to start matching, no longer match, or stay matching the query specified by `book_view`.

`book_view` : | an EDataBookView
`contact` : | an EContact

### e_data_book_view_notify_update_vcard ()

    void                e_data_book_view_notify_update_vcard
                                                            (EDataBookView *book_view,
                                                             gchar *vcard);

Notify listeners that `vcard` has changed. This can trigger an add, change or removal event depending on whether the change causes the contact to start matching, no longer match, or stay matching the query specified by `book_view`. This method should be preferred over e_data_book_view_notify_update when the native representation of a contact is a vCard.

`book_view` : | an EDataBookView
`vcard` : | a plain vCard

### e_data_book_view_notify_update_prefiltered_vcard ()

    void                e_data_book_view_notify_update_prefiltered_vcard
                                                            (EDataBookView *book_view,
                                                             const gchar *id,
                                                             gchar *vcard);

Notify listeners that `vcard` has changed. This can trigger an add, change or removal event depending on whether the change causes the contact to start matching, no longer match, or stay matching the query specified by `book_view`. This method should be preferred over e_data_book_view_notify_update when the native representation of a contact is a vCard.

The important difference between this method and e_data_book_view_notify_update and e_data_book_view_notify_update_vcard is that it doesn't match the contact against the book view query to see if it should be included, it assumes that this has been done and the contact is known to exist in the view.

`book_view` : | an EDataBookView
`id` : | the UID of this contact
`vcard` : | a plain vCard

### e_data_book_view_notify_remove ()

    void                e_data_book_view_notify_remove      (EDataBookView *book_view,
                                                             const gchar *id);

Notify listeners that a contact specified by `id` was removed from `book_view`.

`book_view` : | an EDataBookView
`id` : | a unique contact ID

### e_data_book_view_notify_complete ()

    void                e_data_book_view_notify_complete    (EDataBookView *book_view,
                                                             GNOME_Evolution_Addressbook_CallStatus );

Notifies listeners that all pending updates on `book_view` have been sent. The listener's information should now be in sync with the backend's.

`book_view` : | an EDataBookView
`Param2` : |

### e_data_book_view_notify_status_message ()

    void                e_data_book_view_notify_status_message
                                                            (EDataBookView *book_view,
                                                             const gchar *message);

Provides listeners with a human-readable text describing the current backend operation. This can be used for progress reporting.

`book_view` : | an EDataBookView
`message` : | a text message

### e_data_book_view_ref ()

    void                e_data_book_view_ref                (EDataBookView *book_view);

Increase the reference count of the book view. This is a function to aid the transition from Bonobo to DBUS.

`book_view` : | an EBookView

### e_data_book_view_unref ()

    void                e_data_book_view_unref              (EDataBookView *book_view);

Decrease the reference count of the book view. This is a function to aid the transition from Bonobo to DBUS.

`book_view` : | an EBookView
