+ * backend will register.
+ * @aliases: Colon-separated list of aliases that can be used
+ * when referring to a backend by name.
+ * @schemes: Colon-separated list of URI schemes. The #EShell
+ * will forward command-line URIs to the appropriate
+ * backend based on this list.
+ * @sort_order: Used to determine the order of backends listed in
+ * the main menu and in the switcher. See
+ * e_shell_backend_compare().
+ * @view_type: #GType for the corresponding #EShellView subclass.
+ * @start: Method for notifying the backend to begin loading
+ * data and running background tasks. This is called
+ * just before the first instantiation of the
+ * corresponding #EShellView subclass. It allows the
+ * backend to delay initialization steps that consume
+ * significant resources until they are actually needed.
+ * @is_busy: Method for querying whether the backend has operations
+ * in progress that cannot be cancelled or finished
+ * immediately. Returning %TRUE prevents the application
+ * from shutting down.
+ * @shutdown: Method for notifying the backend to begin shutting
+ * down. Returning %FALSE indicates there are still
+ * unfinished operations and the #EShell should check
+ * back shortly.
+ * @migrate: Method for notifying the backend to migrate data and
+ * settings from the given version. Returns %TRUE if the
+ * migration was successful or if no action was necessary.
+ * Returns %FALSE and sets a #GError if the migration
+ * failed.
+ *
+ * #EShellBackendClass contains a number of important settings for subclasses.
