GDataEntry is required by GDataAccessHandler and GDataCommentable.

Includes

#include <gdata/gdata-entry.h>

Description

GDataEntry represents a single object on the online service, such as a playlist, video or calendar event. It is a snapshot of the state of that object at the time of querying the service, so modifications made to a GDataEntry will not be automatically or magically propagated to the server.

If you will only use the first link found, consider calling gdata_entry_look_up_link() instead.

Parameters

self

a GDataEntry

 

rel

the value of the rel attribute of the desired links

 

Returns
