load_avatar

Fetch an avatar from the cache by its globally unique ID.

It is up to the caller to ensure that file I/O is rate-limited when loading many avatars in parallel, by limiting calls to GLib.LoadableIcon.load.

Parameters:

id	the globally unique ID for the avatar

Returns:

Avatar from the cache, or null if it doesn't exist in the cache

Exceptions:

GLib.Error

if checking for existence of the cache file failed

Since:

0.6.0
