Create a new GIRepository.Repository

Parameters:

Object properties

Parameters:

String arg Required (not null)

Returns:

gboolean

Returns:

guint32

Returns the singleton process-global default GIRepository. It is
not currently supported to have multiple repositories in a
particular process, but this function is provided in the unlikely
eventuality that it would become possible, and as a convenience for
higher level language bindings to conform to the GObject method
call conventions.
All methods on GIRepository also accept NULL as an instance
parameter to mean this default repository, which is usually more
convenient for C.

Returns:

GIRepository.Repository The global singleton GIRepository

Returns the search path the GIRepository will use when looking for typelibs.
The string is internal to GIRespository and should not be freed, nor should
the elements.

Returns:

Array list of strings

Parameters:

String directory Required (not null)

Returns:

none

Obtain an unordered list of versions (either currently loaded or
available) for namespace_ in this repository.

Parameters:

String namespace_ Required (not null)

GI namespace, e.g. "Gtk"

Returns:

Array the array of versions.

Searches all loaded namespaces for a particular GType. Note that
in order to locate the metadata, the namespace corresponding to
the type must first have been loaded. There is currently no
mechanism for determining the namespace which corresponds to an
arbitrary GType - thus, this function will operate most reliably
when you know the GType to originate from be from a loaded namespace.

Parameters:

Number gtype Required (not null)

GType to search for

Returns:

GIRepository.BaseInfo GIBaseInfo representing metadata about type, or NULL

Searches for a particular entry in a namespace. Before calling
this function for a particular namespace, you must call
g_irepository_require once to load the namespace, or otherwise
ensure the namespace has already been loaded.

Parameters:

String namespace_ Required (not null)

Namespace which will be searched

String name Required (not null)

Entry name to find

Returns:

GIRepository.BaseInfo GIBaseInfo representing metadata about name, or NULL

This function returns the "C prefix", or the C level namespace
associated with the given introspection namespace. Each C symbol
starts with this prefix, as well each GType in the library.
such as g_irepository_require before calling this function.

Parameters:

String namespace_ Required (not null)

Namespace to inspect

Returns:

String C namespace prefix, or NULL if none associated

Return an array of all (transitive) dependencies for namespace
form namespace-version.
such as g_irepository_require before calling this function.

Parameters:

String namespace_ Required (not null)

Namespace of interest

Returns:

Array Zero-terminated string array of versioned dependencies

This function returns a particular metadata entry in the
given namespace namespace_. The namespace must have
already been loaded before calling this function.
See g_irepository_get_n_infos() to find the maximum number of
entries.

Parameters:

String namespace_ Required (not null)

Namespace to inspect

gint32 index Required (not null)

0-based offset into namespace metadata for entry

Returns:

GIRepository.BaseInfo GIBaseInfo containing metadata

Return the list of currently loaded namespaces.

Returns:

Array List of namespaces

This function returns the number of metadata entries in
given namespace namespace_. The namespace must have
already been loaded before calling this function.

Parameters:

String namespace_ Required (not null)

Namespace to inspect

Returns:

gint32 number of metadata entries

This function returns the full path to the shared C library
associated with the given namespace namespace_. There may be no
shared library path associated, in which case this function will
return NULL.
such as g_irepository_require before calling this function.

Parameters:

String namespace_ Required (not null)

Namespace to inspect

Returns:

String Full path to shared library, or NULL if none associated

If namespace namespace_ is loaded, return the full path to the
.typelib file it was loaded from. If the typelib for
namespace namespace_ was included in a shared library, return
the special string "$lt;builtin$gt;".

Parameters:

String namespace_ Required (not null)

GI namespace to use, e.g. "Gtk"

Returns:

String Filesystem path (or $lt;builtin$gt;) if successful, NULL if namespace is not loaded

This function returns the loaded version associated with the given
namespace namespace_.
such as g_irepository_require before calling this function.

Parameters:

String namespace_ Required (not null)

Namespace to inspect

Returns:

String Loaded version

Check whether a particular namespace (and optionally, a specific
version thereof) is currently loaded. This function is likely to
only be useful in unusual circumstances; in order to act upon
metadata in the namespace, you should call g_irepository_require
instead which will ensure the namespace is loaded, and return as
quickly as this function will if it has already been loaded.

Parameters:

String namespace_ Required (not null)

Namespace of interest

String version

Required version, may be NULL for latest

Returns:

gboolean TRUE if namespace-version is loaded, FALSE otherwise

Parameters:

GIRepository.Typelib typelib Required (not null)

GIRepository.RepositoryLoadFlags flags Required (not null)

Returns:

String

Force the namespace namespace_ to be loaded if it isn't already.
If namespace_ is not loaded, this function will search for a
".typelib" file using the repository search path. In addition, a
version version of namespace may be specified. If version is
not specified, the latest will be used.

Parameters:

String namespace_ Required (not null)

GI namespace to use, e.g. "Gtk"

String version

Version of namespace, may be NULL for latest

GIRepository.RepositoryLoadFlags flags Required (not null)

Set of GIRepositoryLoadFlags, may be 0

Returns:

GIRepository.Typelib a pointer to the GITypelib if successful, NULL otherwise

Force the namespace namespace_ to be loaded if it isn't already.
If namespace_ is not loaded, this function will search for a
".typelib" file within the private directory only. In addition, a
version version of namespace should be specified. If version is
not specified, the latest will be used.

Parameters:

String typelib_dir Required (not null)

Private directory where to find the requested typelib

String namespace_ Required (not null)

GI namespace to use, e.g. "Gtk"

String version

Version of namespace, may be NULL for latest

GIRepository.RepositoryLoadFlags flags Required (not null)

Set of GIRepositoryLoadFlags, may be 0

Returns:

GIRepository.Typelib a pointer to the GITypelib if successful, NULL otherwise
