Callback
The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).
The callback for the getSpreadsheetETag([callback]) method is defined as:
function(err, data){ }
'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.
'data' is the value returned by the method.
The callback for the setSpreadsheetETag([callback]) method is defined as:
function(err){ }
'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.
'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:
err.code err.message
Remarks
This property is used to obtain the ETag of the specified spreadsheet within a Google Spreadsheet feed and will be populated once SpreadsheetIndex is set.
This property is also used when querying spreadsheets. When SpreadsheetETag contains a non-empty string, an "If-None-Match" header will be sent with the entered value when QuerySpreadsheets is called. This allows you to perform conditional retrievals in the case that you only want to list a spreadsheet if it has been modified (e.g. contains a different ETag value).
This property is not available at design time.
