## Functions

### gdata_gcontact_external_id_new ()

    GDataGContactExternalID *
    gdata_gcontact_external_id_new (const gchar *value,

                                    const gchar *label);

Creates a new GDataGContactExternalID. More information is available in the gContact specification.

Exactly one of `relation_type` and `label` should be provided; the other must be `NULL`.

#### Parameters

value | the value of the external ID |
relation_type | the type of external ID, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]
label | a free-form label for the external ID, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]

#### Returns

a new GDataGContactExternalID; unref with `g_object_unref()`

Since: 0.7.0

### gdata_gcontact_external_id_get_value ()

    const gchar *
    gdata_gcontact_external_id_get_value (GDataGContactExternalID *self);

Gets the “value” property.

#### Parameters

self | a GDataGContactExternalID |

#### Returns

the external ID's value

Since: 0.7.0

### gdata_gcontact_external_id_set_value ()

    void
    gdata_gcontact_external_id_set_value (GDataGContactExternalID *self,

Sets the “value” property to `value` .

#### Parameters

self | a GDataGContactExternalID |
value | the new value for the external ID |

Since: 0.7.0

### gdata_gcontact_external_id_get_relation_type ()

    const gchar *
    gdata_gcontact_external_id_get_relation_type
                                   (GDataGContactExternalID *self);

Gets the “relation-type” property.

#### Parameters

self | a GDataGContactExternalID |

#### Returns

the type of the relation, or `NULL`

                                    const gchar *relation_type);

Sets the “relation-type” property to `relation_type` , such as `GDATA_GCONTACT_EXTERNAL_ID_NETWORK` or `GDATA_GCONTACT_EXTERNAL_ID_ACCOUNT`.

If `relation_type` is `NULL`, the relation type will be unset. When the GDataGContactExternalID is used in a query, however, exactly one of “relation-type” and “label” must be `NULL`.
