    3
    4
    5

    #include <libedataserver/libedataserver.h>

    ESourceMailSignature *extension;

    extension = e_source_get_extension (source, E_SOURCE_EXTENSION_MAIL_SIGNATURE);

## Functions

### e_source_mail_signature_get_file ()

    GFile *
    e_source_mail_signature_get_file (ESourceMailSignature *extension);

Returns a GFile instance pointing to the signature file for `extension` . The signature file may be a regular file containing the static signature content, or it may be a symbolic link to an executable file that produces the signature content.

e_source_mail_signature_load() uses this to load the signature content.

#### Parameters

extension | an ESourceMailSignature |

#### Returns

a GFile.

Since: 3.6

### e_source_mail_signature_get_mime_type ()

    const gchar *
    e_source_mail_signature_get_mime_type (ESourceMailSignature *extension);

Returns the MIME type of the signature content for `extension` , or `NULL` if it has not yet been determined.

e_source_mail_signature_load() sets this automatically if the MIME type has not yet been determined.

#### Parameters

extension | an ESourceMailSignature |

#### Returns

the MIME type of the signature content, or `NULL`.

[nullable]

Since: 3.6

### e_source_mail_signature_dup_mime_type ()

    gchar *
    e_source_mail_signature_dup_mime_type (ESourceMailSignature *extension);

Thread-safe variation of `e_source_mail_signature_get_mime_type()`. Use this function when accessing `extension` from multiple threads.

The returned string should be freed with `g_free()` when no longer needed.

#### Parameters

extension | an ESourceMailSignature |

#### Returns

a newly-allocated copy of “mime-type”, or `NULL`.

[nullable]

Since: 3.6

### e_source_mail_signature_set_mime_type ()

    void
    e_source_mail_signature_set_mime_type (ESourceMailSignature *extension,
                                           const gchar *mime_type);

Sets the MIME type of the signature content for `extension` .

e_source_mail_signature_load() sets this automatically if the MIME type has not yet been determined.

The internal copy of `mime_type` is automatically stripped of leading and trailing whitespace. If the resulting string is empty, `NULL` is set instead.

#### Parameters

extension | an ESourceMailSignature |
mime_type | a MIME type, or `NULL`. | [nullable]

Since: 3.6

### e_source_mail_signature_load_sync ()

    gboolean

                                       gsize *length,
                                       GCancellable *cancellable,
                                       GError **error);

Loads a signature from the signature file for `source` , which is given by `e_source_mail_signature_get_file()`. The signature contents are placed in `contents` , and `length` is set to the size of the `contents` string. The `contents` string should be freed with `g_free()` when no longer needed.

If the signature file is executable, it will be executed and its output captured as the email signature content. If the signature file is not executable, the email signature content is read directly from the file.

#### Parameters

source | an ESource |
contents | return location for the signature content. | [out]
length | return location for the length of the signature content, or `NULL` if the length is not needed. | [optional][out]
cancellable | optional GCancellable object, or `NULL` |
error | return location for a GError, or `NULL` |

#### Returns
