## Description

GDataCategory represents a "category" element from the Atom specification.

## Details

### GDATA_CATEGORY_SCHEMA_LABELS

    #define GDATA_CATEGORY_SCHEMA_LABELS "http://schemas.google.com/g/2005/labels"

A schema for categories which label the entry they're applied to in some way, such as starring it. The semantics of the various labels (such as `GDATA_CATEGORY_SCHEMA_LABELS_STARRED`) are service-specific.

Since 0.11.0

### GDATA_CATEGORY_SCHEMA_LABELS_STARRED

    #define GDATA_CATEGORY_SCHEMA_LABELS_STARRED GDATA_CATEGORY_SCHEMA_LABELS"#starred"

A term for categories of the `GDATA_CATEGORY_SCHEMA_LABELS` schema which labels an entry as being “starred”. The semantics of this label are service-specific, but are obvious for services such as Google Documents.

Since 0.11.0

### GDataCategory

    typedef struct _GDataCategory GDataCategory;

All the fields in the GDataCategory structure are private and should never be accessed directly.

### GDataCategoryClass

    typedef struct {
    } GDataCategoryClass;

All the fields in the GDataCategoryClass structure are private and should never be accessed directly.

Since 0.4.0

### gdata_category_new ()

    GDataCategory *     gdata_category_new                  (const gchar *term,
                                                             const gchar *scheme,
                                                             const gchar *label);

Creates a new GDataCategory. More information is available in the Atom specification.

`term` : | a category identifier
`scheme` : | an IRI to define the categorisation scheme, or `NULL`. [allow-none]
`label` : | a human-readable label for the category, or `NULL`. [allow-none]
Returns : | a new GDataCategory, or `NULL`; unref with `g_object_unref()`

### gdata_category_get_term ()

    const gchar *       gdata_category_get_term             (GDataCategory *self);

Gets the "term" property.

`self` : | a GDataCategory
Returns : | the category's term

Since 0.4.0

### gdata_category_set_term ()

    void                gdata_category_set_term             (GDataCategory *self,
                                                             const gchar *term);

Sets the "term" property to `term`.

`self` : | a GDataCategory
`term` : | the new term for the category

Since 0.4.0

### gdata_category_get_scheme ()

Gets the "scheme" property.

`self` : | a GDataCategory
Returns : | the category's scheme, or `NULL`

Since 0.4.0

### gdata_category_set_scheme ()

    void                gdata_category_set_scheme           (GDataCategory *self,
                                                             const gchar *scheme);

Sets the "scheme" property to `scheme`.

Set `scheme` to `NULL` to unset the property in the category.

`self` : | a GDataCategory
`scheme` : | the new scheme for the category, or `NULL`. [allow-none]

Since 0.4.0

### gdata_category_get_label ()

Returns : | the category's label, or `NULL`

Since 0.4.0

### gdata_category_set_label ()

    void                gdata_category_set_label            (GDataCategory *self,
                                                             const gchar *label);
