## Description

## Functions

### e_data_factory_ref_backend_factory ()

    EBackendFactory *
    e_data_factory_ref_backend_factory (EDataFactory *data_factory,
                                        const gchar *backend_name,
                                        const gchar *extension_name);

Returns the EBackendFactory for "`backend_name` :`extension_name` ", or `NULL` if no such factory is registered.

The returned EBackendFactory is referenced for thread-safety. Unreference the EBackendFactory with `g_object_unref()` when finished with it.

#### Parameters

data_factory | an EDataFactory |
backend_name | a backend name |
extension_name | an extension name |

#### Returns

the EBackendFactory for `hash_key` , or `NULL`

Since: 3.6

### e_data_factory_get_registry ()

    ESourceRegistry *
    e_data_factory_get_registry (EDataFactory *data_factory);

Returns the ESourceRegistry owned by `data_factory` .

#### Parameters

data_factory | an EDataFactory |

#### Returns

the ESourceRegistry

Since: 3.16

### e_data_factory_construct_path ()

    gchar *
    e_data_factory_construct_path (EDataFactory *data_factory);

Returns a new and unique object path for a D-Bus interface based in the data object path prefix of the `data_factory`

#### Parameters

data_factory | an EDataFactory |

#### Returns

a newly allocated string, representing the object path for the D-Bus interface.

Since: 3.16

## Types and Values
