#### Declaration [src]

    gboolean
    e_book_backend_sync_refresh (
      EBookBackendSync* backend,
      GCancellable* cancellable,
      GError** error
    )

#### Description [src]

Initiates a refresh for `backend`, if the `backend` supports refreshing. The actual refresh operation completes on its own time. This function merely initiates the operation.

If an error occurs while initiating the refresh, the function will set `error` and return `FALSE`. If the `backend` does not support refreshing, the function will set an `E_CLIENT_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED` error and return `FALSE`.

Available since: 3.34

#### Parameters

`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.
