### Method

# EDataBook BookBackendSynccreate_contacts

since: 3.34

#### Declaration [src]

    gboolean
    e_book_backend_sync_create_contacts (
      EBookBackendSync* backend,
      const gchar* const* vcards,
      guint32 opflags,
      GSList** out_contacts,
      GCancellable* cancellable,
      GError** error
    )

#### Description [src]

Creates one or more new contacts from `vcards`, and deposits an `EContact` instance for each newly-created contact in `out_contacts`.

The returned `EContact` instances are referenced for thread-safety and must be unreferenced with `g_object_unref()` when finished with them.

If an error occurs, the function will set `error` and return `FALSE`.

Available since: 3.34

#### Parameters

`vcards`

  Type: `const gchar* const*`

  A `NULL`-terminated array of vCard strings.

  The data is owned by the caller of the method.
  The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.

`opflags`

  Type: `guint32`

  Bit-or of `EBookOperationFlags`.

`out_contacts`

  Type: A list of `EContact*`

  A `GSList` in which to deposit results.

  The argument will be set by the function.
  The caller of the method takes ownership of the returned data, and is responsible for freeing it.

`cancellable`

  Type: `GCancellable`

  Optional `GCancellable` object, or `NULL`.

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  The data is owned by the caller of the method.

`error`

  Type: `GError **`

  The return location for a recoverable error.

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  If the return location is not `NULL`, then you must initialize it to a `NULL` `GError*`.
  The argument will be left initialized to `NULL` by the method if there are no errors.
  In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated `GError`; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

#### Return value

Type: `gboolean`

`TRUE` on success, `FALSE` on failure.
