### e_cal_component_gen_uid ()

    gchar *             e_cal_component_gen_uid             (void);

Generates a unique identifier suitable for calendar components.

Returns : | A unique identifier string. Every time this function is called a different string is returned.

### e_cal_component_new ()

    ECalComponent *     e_cal_component_new                 (void);

Creates a new empty calendar component object. Once created, you should set it from an existing icalcomponent structure by using `e_cal_component_set_icalcomponent()` or with a new empty component type by using `e_cal_component_set_new_vtype()`.

Returns : | A newly-created calendar component object.

### e_cal_component_new_from_string ()

    ECalComponent *     e_cal_component_new_from_string     (const gchar *calobj);

Creates a new calendar component object from the given iCalendar string.

`calobj` : | A string representation of an iCalendar component.
Returns : | A calendar component representing the given iCalendar string on success, NULL if there was an error.

### e_cal_component_clone ()

    ECalComponent *     e_cal_component_clone               (ECalComponent *comp);

Creates a new calendar component object by copying the information from another one.

`comp` : | A calendar component object.
Returns : | A newly-created calendar component with the same values as the original one.

### e_cal_component_set_new_vtype ()

    void                e_cal_component_set_new_vtype       (ECalComponent *comp,
                                                             ECalComponentVType type);

Clears any existing component data from a calendar component object and creates a new icalcomponent of the specified type for it. The only property that will be set in the new component will be its unique identifier.

`comp` : | A calendar component object.
`type` : | Type of calendar component to create.

### e_cal_component_set_icalcomponent ()

    gboolean            e_cal_component_set_icalcomponent   (ECalComponent *comp,
                                                             icalcomponent *icalcomp);

Sets the contents of a calendar component object from an icalcomponent structure. If the `comp` already had an icalcomponent set into it, it will will be freed automatically if the icalcomponent does not have a parent component itself.

Supported component types are VEVENT, VTODO, VJOURNAL, VFREEBUSY, and VTIMEZONE.

`comp` : | A calendar component object.
`icalcomp` : | An icalcomponent.
Returns : | TRUE on success, FALSE if `icalcomp` is an unsupported component type.

### e_cal_component_get_icalcomponent ()

    icalcomponent *     e_cal_component_get_icalcomponent   (ECalComponent *comp);

Queries the icalcomponent structure that a calendar component object is wrapping.

`comp` : | A calendar component object.
Returns : | An icalcomponent structure, or NULL if the `comp` has no icalcomponent set to it.

### e_cal_component_rescan ()

    void                e_cal_component_rescan              (ECalComponent *comp);

Rescans the icalcomponent being wrapped by the given calendar component. This would replace any value that was changed in the wrapped icalcomponent.

`comp` : | A calendar component object.

### e_cal_component_strip_errors ()

    void                e_cal_component_strip_errors        (ECalComponent *comp);

Strips all error messages from the calendar component. Those error messages are added to the iCalendar string representation whenever an invalid is used for one of its fields.

`comp` : | A calendar component object.

### e_cal_component_get_vtype ()

    ECalComponentVType  e_cal_component_get_vtype           (ECalComponent *comp);

Queries the type of a calendar component object.

`comp` : | A calendar component object.
Returns : | The type of the component, as defined by RFC 2445.

### e_cal_component_get_as_string ()

    gchar *             e_cal_component_get_as_string       (ECalComponent *comp);

Gets the iCalendar string representation of a calendar component. You should call `e_cal_component_commit_sequence()` before this function to ensure that the component's sequence number is consistent with the state of the object.

`comp` : | A calendar component.
Returns : | String representation of the calendar component according to RFC 2445.

### e_cal_component_commit_sequence ()

    void                e_cal_component_commit_sequence     (ECalComponent *comp);

Increments the sequence number property in a calendar component object if it needs it. This needs to be done when any of a number of properties listed in RFC 2445 change values, such as the start and end dates of a component.

This function must be called before calling `e_cal_component_get_as_string()` to ensure that the component is fully consistent.

`comp` : | A calendar component object.

### e_cal_component_abort_sequence ()

    void                e_cal_component_abort_sequence      (ECalComponent *comp);

Aborts the sequence change needed in the given calendar component, which means it will not require a sequence commit (via e_cal_component_commit_sequence) even if the changes done require a sequence increment.

`comp` : | A calendar component object.

### e_cal_component_get_uid ()

    void                e_cal_component_get_uid             (ECalComponent *comp,
                                                             const gchar **uid);
