💅 csa_delete_entry — delete an entry from a calendar

okay so this is one of those library call pages, bestie, and it's literally the "yeet a calendar entry into the sun" function. buckle up 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

csa_delete_entry — delete an entry from a calendar 🗑️

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include &<xcsa.h>
CSA_return_code csa_delete_entry(
CSA_session_handle session,
CSA_entry_handle entry,
CSA_enum delete_scope,
CSA_extension *delete_entry_extensions);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So the csa_delete_entry function will delete an entry in a calendar. that's the whole vibe. ✨

but here's the plot twist: delete_scope tells you how much gets deleted if the entry has any associated recurring entries. your options are, and I quote the vibe:

  • delete all of the recurring entries
  • delete only the specified entry
  • delete only the recurring entries that follow the specified entry

and the access drama 😭 — only the calendar owner, users with CSA_OWNER_RIGHTS, users with CSA_UPDATE_PUBLIC_ENTRIES, users with CSA_UPDATE_CONFIDENTIAL_ENTRIES, or users with CSA_UPDATE_PRIVATE_ENTRIES access rights can delete entries on the calendar. no rights, no deletion, periodt. 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

🫶 Session (Session Handle)

Opaque session handle that represents a session with the calendaring service.

Session handles are created by a logon function call and invalidated with a logoff function call. If the session handle is invalid, then the error CSA_E_INVALID_SESSION_HANDLE is returned. so like… don't bring a dead session to this function, she will notice 💀

🎀 Entry (Entry Handle)

The handle of the calendar entry to be deleted. If the entry handle is invalid, then the error CSA_E_INVALID_ENTRY_HANDLE is returned. fake handle = instant rejection, no cap.

🌈 Delete Scope (Enum)

The scope for the delete operation. Operator settings include:

  • CSA_SCOPE_ALL — if set and the entry is associated with recurring entries, it specifies that all of the recurring entries are to be deleted. every single one. gone. 🫡
  • CSA_SCOPE_ONE — if set and the entry is associated with recurring entries, it specifies that only the specified entry is to be deleted. just the one, main character only 💅
  • CSA_SCOPE_FORWARD — if set and the entry is associated with recurring entries, it specifies that only the recurring entries following the specified entry are to be deleted. The scope also includes the specified entry. so it's "from here onward, and yes, here counts too" ⭐

🧚 Delete Entry Extensions (Extension)

A pointer to an array of CSA_extension structures for this function. The array may contain both input extensions for providing additional information to the function and output extensions for receiving information from the function. A value of NULL indicates that the caller is not using any extensions. See the extensions structure for more information. no extensions? NULL? valid, we love a low-effort caller 🫶

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

💜 Delete Entry Extensions (Extension)

If output extensions were passed to the function in the extensions list, the results from the service will be available in the extension. See the extensions structure for more information. Whether the function succeeded or not, and, if not, why. It may be success or one of the values listed under ERRORS below. iykyk — check your extensions, bestie 💖

🌟 ERRORS 🌟

The csa_delete_entry function returns the following error values:

  • CSA_E_DISK_FULL — Insufficient disk space was available to complete the requested operation (this may refer to local or shared disk space). storage said no 😭

  • CSA_E_INVALID_PARAMETER — A function parameter was invalid.
  • CSA_E_INVALID_SESSION_HANDLE — The specified Session Handle is invalid or no longer valid (e.g., after logging off). you logged off, girl, the session is over 🙈
  • CSA_E_NO_AUTHORITY — The user has insufficient authority for this function. not your calendar, not your call 🚫
  • CSA_E_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE — The requested calendar service is unavailable.
  • CSA_E_UNSUPPORTED_ENUM — The specified enumerated value is not valid.
