Backend

Object Hierarchy:

public abstract class Backend : Object

A single backend to libfolks, such as Telepathy or evolution-data-server. Each backend provides Personas which are aggregated to form Individuals.

After creating a Backend instance, you must connect to the Backend.persona_store_added and Backend.persona_store_removed signals, then call Backend.prepare, otherwise a race condition may occur between emission of Backend.persona_store_added and your code connecting to it.
