Description

The AgProvider structure represents an account provider. The structure is not directly exposed to applications, but its fields are accessible via getter methods. It can be instantiated by AgManager with ag_manager_get_provider() or ag_manager_list_providers(). The structure is reference counted. One must use ag_provider_unref() when done with it.

See the example of creating a new AgAccount to see how AgProvider can be used.
