g_info_new ()

GIBaseInfo *
g_info_new (GIInfoType type,
            GIBaseInfo *container,
            GITypelib *typelib,
            guint32 offset);

TODO

g_base_info_ref ()

GIBaseInfo *
g_base_info_ref (GIBaseInfo *info);

Increases the reference count of info .

[skip]

g_base_info_unref ()

void
g_base_info_unref (GIBaseInfo *info);

Decreases the reference count of info . When its reference count drops to 0, the info is freed.

[skip]

g_base_info_equal ()

gboolean
g_base_info_equal (GIBaseInfo *info1,
                   GIBaseInfo *info2);

Compare two GIBaseInfo.

Using pointer comparison is not practical since many functions return different instances of GIBaseInfo that refers to the same part of the TypeLib; use this function instead to do GIBaseInfo comparisons.

g_base_info_get_type ()

GIInfoType
g_base_info_get_type (GIBaseInfo *info);

Obtain the info type of the GIBaseInfo.

g_base_info_get_typelib ()

GITypelib *
g_base_info_get_typelib (GIBaseInfo *info);

Obtain the typelib this info belongs to

g_base_info_get_namespace ()

const gchar *
g_base_info_get_namespace (GIBaseInfo *info);

Obtain the namespace of info .

g_base_info_get_name ()

const gchar *
g_base_info_get_name (GIBaseInfo *info);

Obtain the name of the info . What the name represents depends on the GIInfoType of the info . For instance for GIFunctionInfo it is the name of the function.

g_base_info_get_attribute ()

const gchar *
g_base_info_get_attribute (GIBaseInfo *info,
                           const gchar *name);

Retrieve an arbitrary attribute associated with this node.

g_base_info_iterate_attributes ()

gboolean
g_base_info_iterate_attributes (GIBaseInfo *info,
                                GIAttributeIter *iterator,
                                char **name,
                                char **value);

Iterate over all attributes associated with this node. The iterator structure is typically stack allocated, and must have its first member initialized to NULL. Attributes are arbitrary namespaced key–value pairs which can be attached to almost any item. They are intended for use by software higher in the toolchain than bindings, and are distinct from normal GIR annotations.

Both the name and value should be treated as constants and must not be freed.

void
print_attributes (GIBaseInfo *info)
{
  GIAttributeIter iter = { 0, };
  char *name;
  char *value;
  while (g_base_info_iterate_attributes (info, &iter, &name, &value))
    {
      g_print ("attribute name: %s value: %s", name, value);
    }
}

g_base_info_get_container ()

GIBaseInfo *
g_base_info_get_container (GIBaseInfo *info);

Obtain the container of the info . The container is the parent GIBaseInfo. For instance, the parent of a GIFunctionInfo is an GIObjectInfo or GIInterfaceInfo.

g_base_info_is_deprecated ()

gboolean
g_base_info_is_deprecated (GIBaseInfo *info);

Obtain whether the info is represents a metadata which is deprecated or not.

g_info_type_to_string ()

const gchar *
g_info_type_to_string (GIInfoType type);

Obtain a string representation of type

GIBaseInfo

typedef struct {
} GIBaseInfo;

enum GIInfoType

The type of a GIBaseInfo struct.

GIAttributeIter

typedef struct {
} GIAttributeIter;

An opaque structure used to iterate over attributes in a GIBaseInfo struct.
