### Method

# EBook BookClientadd_contact_sync

since: 3.2

#### Declaration [src]

    gboolean
    e_book_client_add_contact_sync (
      EBookClient* client,
      EContact* contact,
      guint32 opflags,
      gchar** out_added_uid,
      GCancellable* cancellable,
      GError** error
    )

#### Description [src]

Adds `contact` to `client` and sets `out_added_uid` to a UID of a newly added contact. This string should be freed with g_free().

Note: This is not modifying original `contact`, thus if it’s needed, then use e_contact_set (contact, E_CONTACT_UID, new_uid).

Available since: 3.2
