<doc xml:space="preserve">A simple refcounted data type representing an immutable sequence of zero or
more bytes from an unspecified origin.
The purpose of a #GBytes is to keep the memory region that it holds
alive for as long as anyone holds a reference to the bytes. When
the last reference count is dropped, the memory is released. Multiple
unrelated callers can use byte data in the #GBytes without coordinating
their activities, resting assured that the byte data will not change or
move while they hold a reference.
A #GBytes can come from many different origins that may have
different procedures for freeing the memory region. Examples are
memory from g_malloc(), from memory slices, from a #GMappedFile or
memory from other allocators.
#GBytes work well as keys in #GHashTable. Use g_bytes_equal() and
g_bytes_hash() as parameters to g_hash_table_new() or g_hash_table_new_full().
#GBytes can also be used as keys in a #GTree by passing the g_bytes_compare()
function to g_tree_new().
The data pointed to by this bytes must not be modified. For a mutable
array of bytes see #GByteArray. Use g_bytes_unref_to_array() to create a
mutable array for a #GBytes sequence. To create an immutable #GBytes from
a mutable #GByteArray, use the g_byte_array_free_to_bytes() function.</doc>

<record name="Cond" c:type="GCond">
<doc xml:space="preserve">The #GCond struct is an opaque data structure that represents a
condition. Threads can block on a #GCond if they find a certain
condition to be false. If other threads change the state of this
condition they signal the #GCond, and that causes the waiting
threads to be woken up.
Consider the following example of a shared variable. One or more
threads can wait for data to be published to the variable and when
another thread publishes the data, it can signal one of the waiting
threads to wake up to collect the data.
Here is an example for using GCond to block a thread until a condition
is satisfied:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
gpointer current_data = NULL;
GMutex data_mutex;
GCond data_cond;
void
push_data (gpointer data)
{
g_mutex_lock (&amp;data_mutex);
current_data = data;
g_cond_signal (&amp;data_cond);
g_mutex_unlock (&amp;data_mutex);
}
gpointer
pop_data (void)
{
gpointer data;
g_mutex_lock (&amp;data_mutex);
while (!current_data)
g_cond_wait (&amp;data_cond, &amp;data_mutex);
data = current_data;
current_data = NULL;
g_mutex_unlock (&amp;data_mutex);
return data;
}
]|
Whenever a thread calls pop_data() now, it will wait until
current_data is non-%NULL, i.e. until some other thread
has called push_data().
The example shows that use of a condition variable must always be
paired with a mutex. Without the use of a mutex, there would be a
race between the check of @current_data by the while loop in
pop_data() and waiting. Specifically, another thread could set
@current_data after the check, and signal the cond (with nobody
waiting on it) before the first thread goes to sleep. #GCond is
specifically useful for its ability to release the mutex and go
to sleep atomically.
It is also important to use the g_cond_wait() and g_cond_wait_until()
functions only inside a loop which checks for the condition to be
true. See g_cond_wait() for an explanation of why the condition may
not be true even after it returns.
If a #GCond is allocated in static storage then it can be used
without initialisation. Otherwise, you should call g_cond_init()
on it and g_cond_clear() when done.
A #GCond should only be accessed via the g_cond_ functions.</doc>

When this function returns, @mutex is locked again and owned by the

When using condition variables, it is possible that a spurious wakeup

not called). It's also possible that a stolen wakeup may occur.
This is when g_cond_signal() is called, but another thread acquires
@mutex before this thread and modifies the state of the program in
such a way that when g_cond_wait() is able to return, the expected
condition is no longer met.
For this reason, g_cond_wait() must always be used in a loop. See
the documentation for #GCond for a complete example.</doc>

<doc xml:space="preserve">Waits until either @cond is signalled or @end_time has passed.
As with g_cond_wait() it is possible that a spurious or stolen wakeup
could occur. For that reason, waiting on a condition variable should
always be in a loop, based on an explicitly-checked predicate.
%TRUE is returned if the condition variable was signalled (or in the
case of a spurious wakeup). %FALSE is returned if @end_time has
passed.
The following code shows how to correctly perform a timed wait on a
condition variable (extending the example presented in the
documentation for #GCond):
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
gpointer
pop_data_timed (void)
{
gint64 end_time;
gpointer data;
g_mutex_lock (&amp;data_mutex);
end_time = g_get_monotonic_time () + 5 * G_TIME_SPAN_SECOND;
while (!current_data)
if (!g_cond_wait_until (&amp;data_cond, &amp;data_mutex, end_time))
{
// timeout has passed.
g_mutex_unlock (&amp;data_mutex);
return NULL;
}
// there is data for us
data = current_data;
current_data = NULL;
g_mutex_unlock (&amp;data_mutex);
return data;
}
]|
Notice that the end time is calculated once, before entering the
loop and reused. This is the motivation behind the use of absolute
time on this API -- if a relative time of 5 seconds were passed
directly to the call and a spurious wakeup occurred, the program would
have to start over waiting again (which would lead to a total wait
time of more than 5 seconds).</doc>

It will be rounded down to the nearest microsecond.
If the given time is not representable in the given time zone (for
example, 02:30 on March 14th 2010 in Toronto, due to daylight savings
time) then the time will be rounded up to the nearest existing time
(in this case, 03:00). If this matters to you then you should verify
the return value for containing the same as the numbers you gave.
In the case that the given time is ambiguous in the given time zone
(for example, 01:30 on November 7th 2010 in Toronto, due to daylight
savings time) then the time falling within standard (ie:
non-daylight) time is taken.
It not considered a programmer error for the values to this function

some extensions from [RFC 3339](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3339) as
mentioned below.
Note that as #GDateTime "is oblivious to leap seconds", leap seconds information
in an ISO-8601 string will be ignored, so a `23:59:60` time would be parsed as
`23:59:59`.
&lt;sep&gt; is the separator and can be either 'T', 't' or ' '. The latter two
separators are an extension from
[RFC 3339](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3339#section-5.6).
&lt;date&gt; is in the form:
- `YYYY-MM-DD` - Year/month/day, e.g. 2016-08-24.

- `YYYYDDD` - Same as above without dividers.
- `YYYY-Www-D` - Week day where ww is from 01 to 52 and D from 1-7,
e.g. 2016-W34-3.

<method name="format" c:identifier="g_date_time_format" version="2.26">
<doc xml:space="preserve">Creates a newly allocated string representing the requested @format.
The format strings understood by this function are a subset of the
strftime() format language as specified by C99. The \%D, \%U and \%W
conversions are not supported, nor is the 'E' modifier. The GNU
extensions \%k, \%l, \%s and \%P are supported, however, as are the
'0', '_' and '-' modifiers. The Python extension \%f is also supported.
In contrast to strftime(), this function always produces a UTF-8
string, regardless of the current locale. Note that the rendering of
many formats is locale-dependent and may not match the strftime()
output exactly.
The following format specifiers are supported:
- \%a: the abbreviated weekday name according to the current locale
- \%A: the full weekday name according to the current locale
- \%b: the abbreviated month name according to the current locale
- \%B: the full month name according to the current locale
- \%c: the preferred date and time representation for the current locale
- \%C: the century number (year/100) as a 2-digit integer (00-99)
- \%d: the day of the month as a decimal number (range 01 to 31)
- \%e: the day of the month as a decimal number (range 1 to 31)
- \%F: equivalent to `%Y-%m-%d` (the ISO 8601 date format)
- \%g: the last two digits of the ISO 8601 week-based year as a
decimal number (00-99). This works well with \%V and \%u.
- \%G: the ISO 8601 week-based year as a decimal number. This works
well with \%V and \%u.
- \%h: equivalent to \%b
- \%H: the hour as a decimal number using a 24-hour clock (range 00 to 23)
- \%I: the hour as a decimal number using a 12-hour clock (range 01 to 12)
- \%j: the day of the year as a decimal number (range 001 to 366)
- \%k: the hour (24-hour clock) as a decimal number (range 0 to 23);
single digits are preceded by a blank
- \%l: the hour (12-hour clock) as a decimal number (range 1 to 12);
single digits are preceded by a blank
- \%m: the month as a decimal number (range 01 to 12)
- \%M: the minute as a decimal number (range 00 to 59)
- \%f: the microsecond as a decimal number (range 000000 to 999999)
- \%p: either "AM" or "PM" according to the given time value, or the
corresponding strings for the current locale. Noon is treated as
"PM" and midnight as "AM". Use of this format specifier is discouraged, as
many locales have no concept of AM/PM formatting. Use \%c or \%X instead.
- \%P: like \%p but lowercase: "am" or "pm" or a corresponding string for
the current locale. Use of this format specifier is discouraged, as
many locales have no concept of AM/PM formatting. Use \%c or \%X instead.
- \%r: the time in a.m. or p.m. notation. Use of this format specifier is
discouraged, as many locales have no concept of AM/PM formatting. Use \%c
or \%X instead.
- \%R: the time in 24-hour notation (\%H:\%M)
- \%s: the number of seconds since the Epoch, that is, since 1970-01-01
00:00:00 UTC
- \%S: the second as a decimal number (range 00 to 60)
- \%t: a tab character
- \%T: the time in 24-hour notation with seconds (\%H:\%M:\%S)
- \%u: the ISO 8601 standard day of the week as a decimal, range 1 to 7,
Monday being 1. This works well with \%G and \%V.
- \%V: the ISO 8601 standard week number of the current year as a decimal
number, range 01 to 53, where week 1 is the first week that has at
least 4 days in the new year. See g_date_time_get_week_of_year().
This works well with \%G and \%u.
- \%w: the day of the week as a decimal, range 0 to 6, Sunday being 0.
This is not the ISO 8601 standard format -- use \%u instead.
- \%x: the preferred date representation for the current locale without
the time
- \%X: the preferred time representation for the current locale without
the date
- \%y: the year as a decimal number without the century
- \%Y: the year as a decimal number including the century
- \%z: the time zone as an offset from UTC (+hhmm)
- \%:z: the time zone as an offset from UTC (+hh:mm).
This is a gnulib strftime() extension. Since: 2.38
- \%::z: the time zone as an offset from UTC (+hh:mm:ss). This is a
gnulib strftime() extension. Since: 2.38
- \%:::z: the time zone as an offset from UTC, with : to necessary
precision (e.g., -04, +05:30). This is a gnulib strftime() extension. Since: 2.38
- \%Z: the time zone or name or abbreviation
- \%\%: a literal \% character
Some conversion specifications can be modified by preceding the
conversion specifier by one or more modifier characters. The
following modifiers are supported for many of the numeric
conversions:
- O: Use alternative numeric symbols, if the current locale supports those.
- _: Pad a numeric result with spaces. This overrides the default padding
for the specifier.
- -: Do not pad a numeric result. This overrides the default padding
for the specifier.
- 0: Pad a numeric result with zeros. This overrides the default padding
for the specifier.
Additionally, when O is used with B, b, or h, it produces the alternative
form of a month name. The alternative form should be used when the month
name is used without a day number (e.g., standalone). It is required in
some languages (Baltic, Slavic, Greek, and more) due to their grammatical
rules. For other languages there is no difference. \%OB is a GNU and BSD
strftime() extension expected to be added to the future POSIX specification,
\%Ob and \%Oh are GNU strftime() extensions. Since: 2.56</doc>

This function, taken together with g_date_time_get_week_of_year() and

week date on which @datetime falls.
This is usually equal to the normal Gregorian year (as returned by
g_date_time_get_year()), except as detailed below:
For Thursday, the week-numbering year is always equal to the usual
calendar year. For other days, the number is such that every day
within a complete week (Monday to Sunday) is contained within the
same week-numbering year.
For Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday occurring near the end of the year,
this may mean that the week-numbering year is one greater than the
calendar year (so that these days have the same week-numbering year
as the Thursday occurring early in the next year).
For Friday, Saturday and Sunday occurring near the start of the year,
this may mean that the week-numbering year is one less than the
calendar year (so that these days have the same week-numbering year
as the Thursday occurring late in the previous year).
An equivalent description is that the week-numbering year is equal to
the calendar year containing the majority of the days in the current
week (Monday to Sunday).
Note that January 1 0001 in the proleptic Gregorian calendar is a
Monday, so this function never returns 0.</doc>

<doc xml:space="preserve">Specifies the type of the hash function which is passed to

The function is passed a key and should return a #guint hash value.
The functions g_direct_hash(), g_int_hash() and g_str_hash() provide
hash functions which can be used when the key is a #gpointer, #gint*,
and #gchar* respectively.
g_direct_hash() is also the appropriate hash function for keys
of the form `GINT_TO_POINTER (n)` (or similar macros).
A good hash functions should produce
hash values that are evenly distributed over a fairly large range.
The modulus is taken with the hash table size (a prime number) to
find the 'bucket' to place each key into. The function should also
be very fast, since it is called for each key lookup.
Note that the hash functions provided by GLib have these qualities,
but are not particularly robust against manufactured keys that
cause hash collisions. Therefore, you should consider choosing
a more secure hash function when using a GHashTable with keys
that originate in untrusted data (such as HTTP requests).
Using g_str_hash() in that situation might make your application
vulnerable to
[Algorithmic Complexity Attacks](https://lwn.net/Articles/474912/).
The key to choosing a good hash is unpredictability. Even
cryptographic hashes are very easy to find collisions for when the
remainder is taken modulo a somewhat predictable prime number. There
must be an element of randomness that an attacker is unable to guess.</doc>

<doc xml:space="preserve">Creates a new #GHmac, using the digest algorithm @digest_type.
If the @digest_type is not known, %NULL is returned.
A #GHmac can be used to compute the HMAC of a key and an
arbitrary binary blob, using different hashing algorithms.
A #GHmac works by feeding a binary blob through g_hmac_update()
until the data is complete; the digest can then be extracted
using g_hmac_get_string(), which will return the checksum as a
hexadecimal string; or g_hmac_get_digest(), which will return a
array of raw bytes. Once either g_hmac_get_string() or
g_hmac_get_digest() have been called on a #GHmac, the HMAC
will be closed and it won't be possible to call g_hmac_update()
on it anymore.
Support for digests of type %G_CHECKSUM_SHA512 has been added in GLib 2.42.
Support for %G_CHECKSUM_SHA384 was added in GLib 2.52.</doc>

The returned #GIOChannel has a reference count of 1.
The default encoding for #GIOChannel is UTF-8. If your application
is reading output from a command using via pipe, you may need to set
the encoding to the encoding of the current locale (see
g_get_charset()) with the g_io_channel_set_encoding() function.
By default, the fd passed will not be closed when the final reference
to the #GIOChannel data structure is dropped.
If you want to read raw binary data without interpretation, then
call the g_io_channel_set_encoding() function with %NULL for the
encoding argument.
This function is available in GLib on Windows, too, but you should
avoid using it on Windows. The domain of file descriptors and
sockets overlap. There is no way for GLib to know which one you mean
in case the argument you pass to this function happens to be both a
valid file descriptor and socket. If that happens a warning is
issued, and GLib assumes that it is the file descriptor you mean.</doc>

not require such a flush. For write-only channels, a call to
g_io_channel_flush () is sufficient. For all other channels,
the buffers may be flushed by a call to g_io_channel_seek_position ().
This includes the possibility of seeking with seek type %G_SEEK_CUR
and an offset of zero. Note that this means that socket-based
channels cannot be set unbuffered once they have had data
read from them.
On unbuffered channels, it is safe to mix read and write

<doc xml:space="preserve">Sets the encoding for the input/output of the channel.
The internal encoding is always UTF-8. The default encoding
for the external file is UTF-8.
The encoding %NULL is safe to use with binary data.
The encoding can only be set if one of the following conditions
is true:
- The channel was just created, and has not been written to or read from yet.
- The channel is write-only.
- The channel is a file, and the file pointer was just repositioned
by a call to g_io_channel_seek_position(). (This flushes all the
internal buffers.)
- The current encoding is %NULL or UTF-8.
- One of the (new API) read functions has just returned %G_IO_STATUS_EOF
(or, in the case of g_io_channel_read_to_end(), %G_IO_STATUS_NORMAL).
- One of the functions g_io_channel_read_chars() or
g_io_channel_read_unichar() has returned %G_IO_STATUS_AGAIN or
%G_IO_STATUS_ERROR. This may be useful in the case of
%G_CONVERT_ERROR_ILLEGAL_SEQUENCE.
Returning one of these statuses from g_io_channel_read_line(),
g_io_channel_read_line_string(), or g_io_channel_read_to_end()
does not guarantee that the encoding can be changed.
Channels which do not meet one of the above conditions cannot call
g_io_channel_seek_position() with an offset of %G_SEEK_CUR, and, if
they are "seekable", cannot call g_io_channel_write_chars() after
calling one of the API "read" functions.</doc>

<doc xml:space="preserve">Defines the log domain. See [Log Domains](#log-domains).
Libraries should define this so that any messages
which they log can be differentiated from messages from other
libraries and application code. But be careful not to define
it in any public header files.
Log domains must be unique, and it is recommended that they are the
application or library name, optionally followed by a hyphen and a sub-domain
name. For example, `bloatpad` or `bloatpad-io`.
If undefined, it defaults to the default %NULL (or `""`) log domain; this is
not advisable, as it cannot be filtered against using the `G_MESSAGES_DEBUG`
environment variable.
For example, GTK+ uses this in its `Makefile.am`:
|[
AM_CPPFLAGS = -DG_LOG_DOMAIN=\"Gtk\"
]|
Applications can choose to leave it as the default %NULL (or `""`)
domain. However, defining the domain offers the same advantages as
above.</doc>

<doc xml:space="preserve">Makes a full (deep) copy of a #GList.
In contrast with g_list_copy(), this function uses @func to make
a copy of each list element, in addition to copying the list
container itself.
@func, as a #GCopyFunc, takes two arguments, the data to be copied
and a @user_data pointer. On common processor architectures, it's safe to
pass %NULL as @user_data if the copy function takes only one argument. You
may get compiler warnings from this though if compiling with GCC&#x2019;s
`-Wcast-function-type` warning.
For instance, if @list holds a list of GObjects, you can do:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
another_list = g_list_copy_deep (list, (GCopyFunc) g_object_ref, NULL);

<method name="push_thread_default" c:identifier="g_main_context_push_thread_default" version="2.22">
<doc xml:space="preserve">Acquires @context and sets it as the thread-default context for the
current thread. This will cause certain asynchronous operations
(such as most [gio][gio]-based I/O) which are
started in this thread to run under @context and deliver their
results to its main loop, rather than running under the global
default context in the main thread. Note that calling this function
changes the context returned by g_main_context_get_thread_default(),
not the one returned by g_main_context_default(), so it does not affect
the context used by functions like g_idle_add().
Normally you would call this function shortly after creating a new
thread, passing it a #GMainContext which will be run by a
#GMainLoop in that thread, to set a new default context for all
async operations in that thread. In this case you may not need to
ever call g_main_context_pop_thread_default(), assuming you want the
new #GMainContext to be the default for the whole lifecycle of the
thread.
If you don't have control over how the new thread was created (e.g.
in the new thread isn't newly created, or if the thread life
cycle is managed by a #GThreadPool), it is always suggested to wrap
the logic that needs to use the new #GMainContext inside a
g_main_context_push_thread_default() / g_main_context_pop_thread_default()
pair, otherwise threads that are re-used will end up never explicitly
releasing the #GMainContext reference they hold.
In some cases you may want to schedule a single operation in a
non-default context, or temporarily use a non-default context in
the main thread. In that case, you can wrap the call to the
asynchronous operation inside a
g_main_context_push_thread_default() /
g_main_context_pop_thread_default() pair, but it is up to you to
ensure that no other asynchronous operations accidentally get
started while the non-default context is active.
Beware that libraries that predate this function may not correctly
handle being used from a thread with a thread-default context. Eg,
see g_file_supports_thread_contexts().</doc>

<doc xml:space="preserve">Temporarily redirects markup data to a sub-parser.
This function may only be called from the start_element handler of
a #GMarkupParser. It must be matched with a corresponding call to
g_markup_parse_context_pop() in the matching end_element handler
(except in the case that the parser aborts due to an error).
All tags, text and other data between the matching tags is
redirected to the subparser given by @parser. @user_data is used
as the user_data for that parser. @user_data is also passed to the
error callback in the event that an error occurs. This includes
errors that occur in subparsers of the subparser.
The end tag matching the start tag for which this call was made is
handled by the previous parser (which is given its own user_data)
which is why g_markup_parse_context_pop() is provided to allow "one
last access" to the @user_data provided to this function. In the
case of error, the @user_data provided here is passed directly to
the error callback of the subparser and g_markup_parse_context_pop()
should not be called. In either case, if @user_data was allocated
then it ought to be freed from both of these locations.
This function is not intended to be directly called by users
interested in invoking subparsers. Instead, it is intended to be
used by the subparsers themselves to implement a higher-level
interface.
As an example, see the following implementation of a simple
parser that counts the number of tags encountered.
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
typedef struct
{
gint tag_count;
} CounterData;
static void
counter_start_element (GMarkupParseContext *context,
const gchar *element_name,
const gchar **attribute_names,
const gchar **attribute_values,
gpointer user_data,
GError **error)
{
CounterData *data = user_data;
data-&gt;tag_count++;
}
static void
counter_error (GMarkupParseContext *context,
GError *error,
gpointer user_data)
{
CounterData *data = user_data;
g_slice_free (CounterData, data);
}
static GMarkupParser counter_subparser =
{
counter_start_element,
NULL,
NULL,
NULL,
counter_error
};
]|
In order to allow this parser to be easily used as a subparser, the
following interface is provided:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
void
start_counting (GMarkupParseContext *context)
{
CounterData *data = g_slice_new (CounterData);
data-&gt;tag_count = 0;
g_markup_parse_context_push (context, &amp;counter_subparser, data);
}
gint
end_counting (GMarkupParseContext *context)
{
CounterData *data = g_markup_parse_context_pop (context);
int result;
result = data-&gt;tag_count;
g_slice_free (CounterData, data);
return result;
}
]|
The subparser would then be used as follows:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
static void start_element (context, element_name, ...)
{
if (strcmp (element_name, "count-these") == 0)
start_counting (context);
// else, handle other tags...
}
static void end_element (context, element_name, ...)
{
if (strcmp (element_name, "count-these") == 0)
g_print ("Counted %d tags\n", end_counting (context));
// else, handle other tags...

<doc xml:space="preserve">Usually if the string passed to g_regex_match*() matches as far as
it goes, but is too short to match the entire pattern, %FALSE is
returned. There are circumstances where it might be helpful to
distinguish this case from other cases in which there is no match.
Consider, for example, an application where a human is required to
type in data for a field with specific formatting requirements. An
example might be a date in the form ddmmmyy, defined by the pattern
"^\d?\d(jan|feb|mar|apr|may|jun|jul|aug|sep|oct|nov|dec)\d\d$".
If the application sees the user&#x2019;s keystrokes one by one, and can
check that what has been typed so far is potentially valid, it is
able to raise an error as soon as a mistake is made.
GRegex supports the concept of partial matching by means of the
#G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_SOFT and #G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_HARD flags.
When they are used, the return code for
g_regex_match() or g_regex_match_full() is, as usual, %TRUE
for a complete match, %FALSE otherwise. But, when these functions
return %FALSE, you can check if the match was partial calling
g_match_info_is_partial_match().
The difference between #G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_SOFT and
#G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_HARD is that when a partial match is encountered
with #G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_SOFT, matching continues to search for a
possible complete match, while with #G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_HARD matching
stops at the partial match.
When both #G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_SOFT and #G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_HARD
are set, the latter takes precedence.
There were formerly some restrictions on the pattern for partial matching.
The restrictions no longer apply.
See pcrepartial(3) for more information on partial matching.</doc>

<union name="Mutex" c:type="GMutex">
<doc xml:space="preserve">The #GMutex struct is an opaque data structure to represent a mutex
(mutual exclusion). It can be used to protect data against shared
access.
Take for example the following function:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
int
give_me_next_number (void)
{
static int current_number = 0;
// now do a very complicated calculation to calculate the new
// number, this might for example be a random number generator
current_number = calc_next_number (current_number);
return current_number;
}
]|
It is easy to see that this won't work in a multi-threaded
application. There current_number must be protected against shared
access. A #GMutex can be used as a solution to this problem:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
int
give_me_next_number (void)
{
static GMutex mutex;
static int current_number = 0;
int ret_val;
g_mutex_lock (&amp;mutex);
ret_val = current_number = calc_next_number (current_number);
g_mutex_unlock (&amp;mutex);
return ret_val;
}
]|
Notice that the #GMutex is not initialised to any particular value.
Its placement in static storage ensures that it will be initialised
to all-zeros, which is appropriate.
If a #GMutex is placed in other contexts (eg: embedded in a struct)
then it must be explicitly initialised using g_mutex_init().
A #GMutex should only be accessed via g_mutex_ functions.</doc>

In strict POSIX mode, the first non-argument parameter encountered

If strict POSIX mode is disabled then parsing is done in the GNU way
where option arguments can be freely mixed with non-options.
As an example, consider "ls foo -l". With GNU style parsing, this
will list "foo" in long mode. In strict POSIX style, this will list
the files named "foo" and "-l".
It may be useful to force strict POSIX mode when creating "verb
style" command line tools. For example, the "gsettings" command line
tool supports the global option "--schemadir" as well as many
subcommands ("get", "set", etc.) which each have their own set of
arguments. Using strict POSIX mode will allow parsing the global
options up to the verb name while leaving the remaining options to be
parsed by the relevant subcommand (which can be determined by
examining the verb name, which should be present in argv[1] after
parsing).</doc>

<record name="RWLock" c:type="GRWLock" version="2.32">
<doc xml:space="preserve">The GRWLock struct is an opaque data structure to represent a
reader-writer lock. It is similar to a #GMutex in that it allows
multiple threads to coordinate access to a shared resource.
The difference to a mutex is that a reader-writer lock discriminates
between read-only ('reader') and full ('writer') access. While only
one thread at a time is allowed write access (by holding the 'writer'
lock via g_rw_lock_writer_lock()), multiple threads can gain
simultaneous read-only access (by holding the 'reader' lock via
g_rw_lock_reader_lock()).
It is unspecified whether readers or writers have priority in acquiring the
lock when a reader already holds the lock and a writer is queued to acquire
it.
Here is an example for an array with access functions:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
GRWLock lock;
GPtrArray *array;
gpointer
my_array_get (guint index)
{
gpointer retval = NULL;
if (!array)
return NULL;
g_rw_lock_reader_lock (&amp;lock);
if (index &lt; array-&gt;len)
retval = g_ptr_array_index (array, index);
g_rw_lock_reader_unlock (&amp;lock);
return retval;
}
void
my_array_set (guint index, gpointer data)
{
g_rw_lock_writer_lock (&amp;lock);
if (!array)
array = g_ptr_array_new ();
if (index &gt;= array-&gt;len)
g_ptr_array_set_size (array, index+1);
g_ptr_array_index (array, index) = data;
g_rw_lock_writer_unlock (&amp;lock);
}
]|
This example shows an array which can be accessed by many readers
(the my_array_get() function) simultaneously, whereas the writers
(the my_array_set() function) will only be allowed one at a time
and only if no readers currently access the array. This is because
of the potentially dangerous resizing of the array. Using these
functions is fully multi-thread safe now.
If a #GRWLock is allocated in static storage then it can be used
without initialisation. Otherwise, you should call
g_rw_lock_init() on it and g_rw_lock_clear() when done.
A GRWLock should only be accessed with the g_rw_lock_ functions.</doc>

<record name="Regex" c:type="GRegex" version="2.14" glib:type-name="GRegex" glib:get-type="g_regex_get_type" c:symbol-prefix="regex">
<doc xml:space="preserve">The g_regex_*() functions implement regular
expression pattern matching using syntax and semantics similar to
Perl regular expression.
Some functions accept a @start_position argument, setting it differs
from just passing over a shortened string and setting #G_REGEX_MATCH_NOTBOL
in the case of a pattern that begins with any kind of lookbehind assertion.
For example, consider the pattern "\Biss\B" which finds occurrences of "iss"
in the middle of words. ("\B" matches only if the current position in the
subject is not a word boundary.) When applied to the string "Mississipi"
from the fourth byte, namely "issipi", it does not match, because "\B" is
always false at the start of the subject, which is deemed to be a word
boundary. However, if the entire string is passed , but with
@start_position set to 4, it finds the second occurrence of "iss" because
it is able to look behind the starting point to discover that it is
preceded by a letter.
Note that, unless you set the #G_REGEX_RAW flag, all the strings passed
to these functions must be encoded in UTF-8. The lengths and the positions
inside the strings are in bytes and not in characters, so, for instance,
"\xc3\xa0" (i.e. "&#xE0;") is two bytes long but it is treated as a
single character. If you set #G_REGEX_RAW the strings can be non-valid
UTF-8 strings and a byte is treated as a character, so "\xc3\xa0" is two
bytes and two characters long.
When matching a pattern, "\n" matches only against a "\n" character in
the string, and "\r" matches only a "\r" character. To match any newline
sequence use "\R". This particular group matches either the two-character
sequence CR + LF ("\r\n"), or one of the single characters LF (linefeed,
U+000A, "\n"), VT vertical tab, U+000B, "\v"), FF (formfeed, U+000C, "\f"),
CR (carriage return, U+000D, "\r"), NEL (next line, U+0085), LS (line
separator, U+2028), or PS (paragraph separator, U+2029).
The behaviour of the dot, circumflex, and dollar metacharacters are
affected by newline characters, the default is to recognize any newline
character (the same characters recognized by "\R"). This can be changed
with #G_REGEX_NEWLINE_CR, #G_REGEX_NEWLINE_LF and #G_REGEX_NEWLINE_CRLF
compile options, and with #G_REGEX_MATCH_NEWLINE_ANY,
#G_REGEX_MATCH_NEWLINE_CR, #G_REGEX_MATCH_NEWLINE_LF and
#G_REGEX_MATCH_NEWLINE_CRLF match options. These settings are also
relevant when compiling a pattern if #G_REGEX_EXTENDED is set, and an
unescaped "#" outside a character class is encountered. This indicates
a comment that lasts until after the next newline.
When setting the %G_REGEX_JAVASCRIPT_COMPAT flag, pattern syntax and pattern
matching is changed to be compatible with the way that regular expressions
work in JavaScript. More precisely, a lonely ']' character in the pattern
is a syntax error; the '\x' escape only allows 0 to 2 hexadecimal digits, and
you must use the '\u' escape sequence with 4 hex digits to specify a unicode
codepoint instead of '\x' or 'x{....}'. If '\x' or '\u' are not followed by
the specified number of hex digits, they match 'x' and 'u' literally; also
'\U' always matches 'U' instead of being an error in the pattern. Finally,
pattern matching is modified so that back references to an unset subpattern
group produces a match with the empty string instead of an error. See
pcreapi(3) for more information.
Creating and manipulating the same #GRegex structure from different
threads is not a problem as #GRegex does not modify its internal
state between creation and destruction, on the other hand #GMatchInfo
is not threadsafe.
The regular expressions low-level functionalities are obtained through
the excellent
[PCRE](http://www.pcre.org/)
library written by Philip Hazel.</doc>

you get "&lt;a&gt; &lt;b&gt; &lt;c&gt;".
This function uses a different algorithm (called DFA, i.e. deterministic
finite automaton), so it can retrieve all the possible matches, all
starting at the same point in the string. For instance matching
"&lt;a&gt; &lt;b&gt; &lt;c&gt;" against the pattern "&lt;.*&gt;;"
you would obtain three matches: "&lt;a&gt; &lt;b&gt; &lt;c&gt;",
"&lt;a&gt; &lt;b&gt;" and "&lt;a&gt;".
The number of matched strings is retrieved using
g_match_info_get_match_count(). To obtain the matched strings and
their position you can use, respectively, g_match_info_fetch() and
g_match_info_fetch_pos(). Note that the strings are returned in
reverse order of length; that is, the longest matching string is
given first.
Note that the DFA algorithm is slower than the standard one and it
is not able to capture substrings, so backreferences do not work.
Setting @start_position differs from just passing over a shortened
string and setting #G_REGEX_MATCH_NOTBOL in the case of a pattern
that begins with any kind of lookbehind assertion, such as "\b".
Unless %G_REGEX_RAW is specified in the options, @string must be valid UTF-8.
A #GMatchInfo structure, used to get information on the match, is
stored in @match_info if not %NULL. Note that if @match_info is
not %NULL then it is created even if the function returns %FALSE,
i.e. you must free it regardless if regular expression actually
matched.
@string is not copied and is used in #GMatchInfo internally. If
you use any #GMatchInfo method (except g_match_info_free()) after
freeing or modifying @string then the behaviour is undefined.</doc>

<doc xml:space="preserve">Makes a full (deep) copy of a #GSList.
In contrast with g_slist_copy(), this function uses @func to make a copy of
each list element, in addition to copying the list container itself.
@func, as a #GCopyFunc, takes two arguments, the data to be copied
and a @user_data pointer. On common processor architectures, it's safe to
pass %NULL as @user_data if the copy function takes only one argument. You
may get compiler warnings from this though if compiling with GCC&#x2019;s
`-Wcast-function-type` warning.
For instance, if @list holds a list of GObjects, you can do:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
another_list = g_slist_copy_deep (list, (GCopyFunc) g_object_ref, NULL);
]|

For file descriptor sources, the prepare function typically returns %FALSE,

any events need to be processed. It sets the returned timeout to -1 to
indicate that it doesn't mind how long the poll() call blocks. In the

<doc xml:space="preserve">Specifies the type of the setup function passed to g_spawn_async(),
g_spawn_sync() and g_spawn_async_with_pipes(), which can, in very
limited ways, be used to affect the child's execution.
On POSIX platforms, the function is called in the child after GLib
has performed all the setup it plans to perform, but before calling
exec(). Actions taken in this function will only affect the child,
not the parent.
On Windows, the function is called in the parent. Its usefulness on
Windows is thus questionable. In many cases executing the child setup
function in the parent can have ill effects, and you should be very
careful when porting software to Windows that uses child setup
functions.
However, even on POSIX, you are extremely limited in what you can
safely do from a #GSpawnChildSetupFunc, because any mutexes that were
held by other threads in the parent process at the time of the fork()
will still be locked in the child process, and they will never be
unlocked (since the threads that held them don't exist in the child).
POSIX allows only async-signal-safe functions (see signal(7)) to be
called in the child between fork() and exec(), which drastically limits
the usefulness of child setup functions.
In particular, it is not safe to call any function which may
call malloc(), which includes POSIX functions such as setenv().
If you need to set up the child environment differently from
the parent, you should use g_get_environ(), g_environ_setenv(),
and g_environ_unsetenv(), and then pass the complete environment
list to the `g_spawn...` function.</doc>

obtain the #GThread struct representing the current thread by

GThread is refcounted, see g_thread_ref() and g_thread_unref().
The thread represented by it holds a reference while it is running,
and g_thread_join() consumes the reference that it is given, so
it is normally not necessary to manage GThread references
explicitly.
The structure is opaque -- none of its fields may be directly

<constructor name="new" c:identifier="g_thread_new" version="2.32">
<doc xml:space="preserve">This function creates a new thread. The new thread starts by invoking
@func with the argument data. The thread will run until @func returns

of @func becomes the return value of the thread, which can be obtained
with g_thread_join().
The @name can be useful for discriminating threads in a debugger.
It is not used for other purposes and does not have to be unique.
Some systems restrict the length of @name to 16 bytes.
If the thread can not be created the program aborts. See
g_thread_try_new() if you want to attempt to deal with failures.
If you are using threads to offload (potentially many) short-lived tasks,
#GThreadPool may be more appropriate than manually spawning and tracking
multiple #GThreads.
To free the struct returned by this function, use g_thread_unref().
Note that g_thread_join() implicitly unrefs the #GThread as well.
New threads by default inherit their scheduler policy (POSIX) or thread
priority (Windows) of the thread creating the new thread.
This behaviour changed in GLib 2.64: before threads on Windows were not
inheriting the thread priority but were spawned with the default priority.
Starting with GLib 2.64 the behaviour is now consistent between Windows and
POSIX and all threads inherit their parent thread's priority.</doc>

Whenever you call g_thread_pool_push(), either a new thread is
created or an unused one is reused. At most @max_threads threads
are running concurrently for this thread pool. @max_threads = -1
allows unlimited threads to be created for this thread pool. The
newly created or reused thread now executes the function @func
with the two arguments. The first one is the parameter to
g_thread_pool_push() and the second one is @user_data.
Pass g_get_num_processors() to @max_threads to create as many threads as
there are logical processors on the system. This will not pin each thread to
a specific processor.
The parameter @exclusive determines whether the thread pool owns
all threads exclusive or shares them with other thread pools.
If @exclusive is %TRUE, @max_threads threads are started
immediately and they will run exclusively for this thread pool
until it is destroyed by g_thread_pool_free(). If @exclusive is
%FALSE, threads are created when needed and shared between all
non-exclusive thread pools. This implies that @max_threads may
not be -1 for exclusive thread pools. Besides, exclusive thread
pools are not affected by g_thread_pool_set_max_idle_time()
since their threads are never considered idle and returned to the
global pool.
@error can be %NULL to ignore errors, or non-%NULL to report
errors. An error can only occur when @exclusive is set to %TRUE
and not all @max_threads threads could be created.

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). This is one of the many formats
allowed by ISO 8601.
ISO 8601 allows a large number of date/time formats, with or without
punctuation and optional elements. The format returned by this function
is a complete date and time, with optional punctuation included, the
UTC time zone represented as "Z", and the @tv_usec part included if
and only if it is nonzero, i.e. either
"YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ" or "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.fffffZ".
This corresponds to the Internet date/time format defined by
[RFC 3339](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt),
and to either of the two most-precise formats defined by
the W3C Note
[Date and Time Formats](http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime-19980827).
Both of these documents are profiles of ISO 8601.
Use g_date_time_format() or g_strdup_printf() if a different
variation of ISO 8601 format is required.
If @time_ represents a date which is too large to fit into a `struct tm`,
%NULL will be returned. This is platform dependent. Note also that since
`GTimeVal` stores the number of seconds as a `glong`, on 32-bit systems it
is subject to the year 2038 problem. Accordingly, since GLib 2.62, this
function has been deprecated. Equivalent functionality is available using:

g_date_time_unref (dt);

<constructor name="new" c:identifier="g_time_zone_new" version="2.26">
<doc xml:space="preserve">Creates a #GTimeZone corresponding to @identifier.
@identifier can either be an RFC3339/ISO 8601 time offset or
something that would pass as a valid value for the `TZ` environment
variable (including %NULL).
In Windows, @identifier can also be the unlocalized name of a time
zone for standard time, for example "Pacific Standard Time".
Valid RFC3339 time offsets are `"Z"` (for UTC) or
`"&#xB1;hh:mm"`. ISO 8601 additionally specifies
`"&#xB1;hhmm"` and `"&#xB1;hh"`. Offsets are
time values to be added to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to get
the local time.
In UNIX, the `TZ` environment variable typically corresponds
to the name of a file in the zoneinfo database, an absolute path to a file
somewhere else, or a string in
"std offset [dst [offset],start[/time],end[/time]]" (POSIX) format.
There are no spaces in the specification. The name of standard
and daylight savings time zone must be three or more alphabetic
characters. Offsets are time values to be added to local time to
get Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and should be
`"[&#xB1;]hh[[:]mm[:ss]]"`. Dates are either
`"Jn"` (Julian day with n between 1 and 365, leap
years not counted), `"n"` (zero-based Julian day
with n between 0 and 365) or `"Mm.w.d"` (day d
(0 &lt;= d &lt;= 6) of week w (1 &lt;= w &lt;= 5) of month m (1 &lt;= m &lt;= 12), day
0 is a Sunday). Times are in local wall clock time, the default is
02:00:00.
In Windows, the "tzn[+|&#x2013;]hh[:mm[:ss]][dzn]" format is used, but also
accepts POSIX format. The Windows format uses US rules for all time
zones; daylight savings time is 60 minutes behind the standard time
with date and time of change taken from Pacific Standard Time.
Offsets are time values to be added to the local time to get
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
g_time_zone_new_local() calls this function with the value of the
`TZ` environment variable. This function itself is independent of
the value of `TZ`, but if @identifier is %NULL then `/etc/localtime`
will be consulted to discover the correct time zone on UNIX and the
registry will be consulted or GetTimeZoneInformation() will be used
to get the local time zone on Windows.
If intervals are not available, only time zone rules from `TZ`
environment variable or other means, then they will be computed
from year 1900 to 2037. If the maximum year for the rules is
available and it is greater than 2037, then it will followed
instead.
See
[RFC3339 &#xA7;5.6](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3339#section-5.6)
for a precise definition of valid RFC3339 time offsets
(the `time-offset` expansion) and ISO 8601 for the
full list of valid time offsets. See
[The GNU C Library manual](http://www.gnu.org/s/libc/manual/html_node/TZ-Variable.html)
for an explanation of the possible
values of the `TZ` environment variable. See

<doc xml:space="preserve">The #GUri type and related functions can be used to parse URIs into
their components, and build valid URIs from individual components.
Note that #GUri scope is to help manipulate URIs in various applications,
following [RFC 3986](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986). In particular,
it doesn't intend to cover web browser needs, and doesn't implement the
[WHATWG URL](https://url.spec.whatwg.org/) standard. No APIs are provided to
help prevent
[homograph attacks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDN_homograph_attack), so
#GUri is not suitable for formatting URIs for display to the user for making
security-sensitive decisions.
## Relative and absolute URIs # {#relative-absolute-uris}
As defined in [RFC 3986](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-4), the
hierarchical nature of URIs means that they can either be &#x2018;relative
references&#x2019; (sometimes referred to as &#x2018;relative URIs&#x2019;) or &#x2018;URIs&#x2019; (for
clarity, &#x2018;URIs&#x2019; are referred to in this documentation as
&#x2018;absolute URIs&#x2019; &#x2014; although
[in constrast to RFC 3986](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-4.3),
fragment identifiers are always allowed).
Relative references have one or more components of the URI missing. In
particular, they have no scheme. Any other component, such as hostname,
query, etc. may be missing, apart from a path, which has to be specified (but
may be empty). The path may be relative, starting with `./` rather than `/`.
For example, a valid relative reference is `./path?query`,
`/?query#fragment` or `//example.com`.
Absolute URIs have a scheme specified. Any other components of the URI which
are missing are specified as explicitly unset in the URI, rather than being
resolved relative to a base URI using g_uri_parse_relative().
For example, a valid absolute URI is `file:///home/bob` or
`https://search.com?query=string`.
A #GUri instance is always an absolute URI. A string may be an absolute URI
or a relative reference; see the documentation for individual functions as to
what forms they accept.
## Parsing URIs
The most minimalist APIs for parsing URIs are g_uri_split() and
g_uri_split_with_user(). These split a URI into its component
parts, and return the parts; the difference between the two is that
g_uri_split() treats the &#x2018;userinfo&#x2019; component of the URI as a
single element, while g_uri_split_with_user() can (depending on the
#GUriFlags you pass) treat it as containing a username, password,
and authentication parameters. Alternatively, g_uri_split_network()
can be used when you are only interested in the components that are
needed to initiate a network connection to the service (scheme,
host, and port).
g_uri_parse() is similar to g_uri_split(), but instead of returning
individual strings, it returns a #GUri structure (and it requires
that the URI be an absolute URI).
g_uri_resolve_relative() and g_uri_parse_relative() allow you to
resolve a relative URI relative to a base URI.
g_uri_resolve_relative() takes two strings and returns a string,
and g_uri_parse_relative() takes a #GUri and a string and returns a
#GUri.
All of the parsing functions take a #GUriFlags argument describing
exactly how to parse the URI; see the documentation for that type
for more details on the specific flags that you can pass. If you
need to choose different flags based on the type of URI, you can
use g_uri_peek_scheme() on the URI string to check the scheme
first, and use that to decide what flags to parse it with.
For example, you might want to use %G_URI_PARAMS_WWW_FORM when parsing the
params for a web URI, so compare the result of g_uri_peek_scheme() against
`http` and `https`.
## Building URIs
g_uri_join() and g_uri_join_with_user() can be used to construct
valid URI strings from a set of component strings. They are the
inverse of g_uri_split() and g_uri_split_with_user().
Similarly, g_uri_build() and g_uri_build_with_user() can be used to
construct a #GUri from a set of component strings.
As with the parsing functions, the building functions take a
#GUriFlags argument. In particular, it is important to keep in mind
whether the URI components you are using are already `%`-encoded. If so,
you must pass the %G_URI_FLAGS_ENCODED flag.
## `file://` URIs
Note that Windows and Unix both define special rules for parsing
`file://` URIs (involving non-UTF-8 character sets on Unix, and the
interpretation of path separators on Windows). #GUri does not
implement these rules. Use g_filename_from_uri() and
g_filename_to_uri() if you want to properly convert between
`file://` URIs and local filenames.
## URI Equality
Note that there is no `g_uri_equal ()` function, because comparing
URIs usefully requires scheme-specific knowledge that #GUri does
not have. For example, `http://example.com/` and
`http://EXAMPLE.COM:80` have exactly the same meaning according
to the HTTP specification, and `data:,foo` and
`data:;base64,Zm9v` resolve to the same thing according to the
`data:` URI specification.</doc>

value. This method can be used to parse them into a hash table. When an
attribute has multiple occurrences, the last value is the final returned
value. If you need to handle repeated attributes differently, use
#GUriParamsIter.
The @params string is assumed to still be `%`-encoded, but the returned
values will be fully decoded. (Thus it is possible that the returned values
may contain `=` or @separators, if the value was encoded in the input.)
Invalid `%`-encoding is treated as with the %G_URI_FLAGS_PARSE_RELAXED
rules for g_uri_parse(). (However, if @params is the path or query string
from a #GUri that was parsed without %G_URI_FLAGS_PARSE_RELAXED and
%G_URI_FLAGS_ENCODED, then you already know that it does not contain any
invalid encoding.)
%G_URI_PARAMS_WWW_FORM is handled as documented for g_uri_params_iter_init().
If %G_URI_PARAMS_CASE_INSENSITIVE is passed to @flags, attributes will be
compared case-insensitively, so a params string `attr=123&amp;Attr=456` will only
return a single attribute&#x2013;value pair, `Attr=456`. Case will be preserved in
the returned attributes.

<record name="Variant" c:type="GVariant" version="2.24" glib:type-name="GVariant" glib:get-type="intern" c:symbol-prefix="variant">
<doc xml:space="preserve">#GVariant is a variant datatype; it can contain one or more values
along with information about the type of the values.
A #GVariant may contain simple types, like an integer, or a boolean value;
or complex types, like an array of two strings, or a dictionary of key
value pairs. A #GVariant is also immutable: once it's been created neither
its type nor its content can be modified further.
GVariant is useful whenever data needs to be serialized, for example when
sending method parameters in DBus, or when saving settings using GSettings.
When creating a new #GVariant, you pass the data you want to store in it
along with a string representing the type of data you wish to pass to it.
For instance, if you want to create a #GVariant holding an integer value you
can use:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
GVariant *v = g_variant_new ("u", 40);
]|
The string "u" in the first argument tells #GVariant that the data passed to
the constructor (40) is going to be an unsigned integer.
More advanced examples of #GVariant in use can be found in documentation for
[GVariant format strings][gvariant-format-strings-pointers].
The range of possible values is determined by the type.
The type system used by #GVariant is #GVariantType.
#GVariant instances always have a type and a value (which are given
at construction time). The type and value of a #GVariant instance
can never change other than by the #GVariant itself being
destroyed. A #GVariant cannot contain a pointer.
#GVariant is reference counted using g_variant_ref() and
g_variant_unref(). #GVariant also has floating reference counts --
see g_variant_ref_sink().
#GVariant is completely threadsafe. A #GVariant instance can be
concurrently accessed in any way from any number of threads without
problems.
#GVariant is heavily optimised for dealing with data in serialised
form. It works particularly well with data located in memory-mapped
files. It can perform nearly all deserialisation operations in a
small constant time, usually touching only a single memory page.
Serialised #GVariant data can also be sent over the network.
#GVariant is largely compatible with D-Bus. Almost all types of
#GVariant instances can be sent over D-Bus. See #GVariantType for
exceptions. (However, #GVariant's serialisation format is not the same
as the serialisation format of a D-Bus message body: use #GDBusMessage,
in the gio library, for those.)
For space-efficiency, the #GVariant serialisation format does not
automatically include the variant's length, type or endianness,
which must either be implied from context (such as knowledge that a
particular file format always contains a little-endian
%G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARIANT which occupies the whole length of the file)
or supplied out-of-band (for instance, a length, type and/or endianness
indicator could be placed at the beginning of a file, network message
or network stream).
A #GVariant's size is limited mainly by any lower level operating
system constraints, such as the number of bits in #gsize. For
example, it is reasonable to have a 2GB file mapped into memory
with #GMappedFile, and call g_variant_new_from_data() on it.
For convenience to C programmers, #GVariant features powerful
varargs-based value construction and destruction. This feature is
designed to be embedded in other libraries.
There is a Python-inspired text language for describing #GVariant
values. #GVariant includes a printer for this language and a parser
with type inferencing.
## Memory Use
#GVariant tries to be quite efficient with respect to memory use.
This section gives a rough idea of how much memory is used by the
current implementation. The information here is subject to change
in the future.
The memory allocated by #GVariant can be grouped into 4 broad
purposes: memory for serialised data, memory for the type
information cache, buffer management memory and memory for the
#GVariant structure itself.
## Serialised Data Memory
This is the memory that is used for storing GVariant data in
serialised form. This is what would be sent over the network or
what would end up on disk, not counting any indicator of the
endianness, or of the length or type of the top-level variant.
The amount of memory required to store a boolean is 1 byte. 16,
32 and 64 bit integers and double precision floating point numbers
use their "natural" size. Strings (including object path and
signature strings) are stored with a nul terminator, and as such
use the length of the string plus 1 byte.
Maybe types use no space at all to represent the null value and
use the same amount of space (sometimes plus one byte) as the
equivalent non-maybe-typed value to represent the non-null case.
Arrays use the amount of space required to store each of their
members, concatenated. Additionally, if the items stored in an
array are not of a fixed-size (ie: strings, other arrays, etc)
then an additional framing offset is stored for each item. The
size of this offset is either 1, 2 or 4 bytes depending on the
overall size of the container. Additionally, extra padding bytes
are added as required for alignment of child values.
Tuples (including dictionary entries) use the amount of space
required to store each of their members, concatenated, plus one
framing offset (as per arrays) for each non-fixed-sized item in
the tuple, except for the last one. Additionally, extra padding
bytes are added as required for alignment of child values.
Variants use the same amount of space as the item inside of the
variant, plus 1 byte, plus the length of the type string for the
item inside the variant.
As an example, consider a dictionary mapping strings to variants.
In the case that the dictionary is empty, 0 bytes are required for
the serialisation.
If we add an item "width" that maps to the int32 value of 500 then
we will use 4 byte to store the int32 (so 6 for the variant
containing it) and 6 bytes for the string. The variant must be
aligned to 8 after the 6 bytes of the string, so that's 2 extra
bytes. 6 (string) + 2 (padding) + 6 (variant) is 14 bytes used
for the dictionary entry. An additional 1 byte is added to the
array as a framing offset making a total of 15 bytes.
If we add another entry, "title" that maps to a nullable string
that happens to have a value of null, then we use 0 bytes for the
null value (and 3 bytes for the variant to contain it along with
its type string) plus 6 bytes for the string. Again, we need 2
padding bytes. That makes a total of 6 + 2 + 3 = 11 bytes.
We now require extra padding between the two items in the array.
After the 14 bytes of the first item, that's 2 bytes required.
We now require 2 framing offsets for an extra two
bytes. 14 + 2 + 11 + 2 = 29 bytes to encode the entire two-item
dictionary.
## Type Information Cache
For each GVariant type that currently exists in the program a type
information structure is kept in the type information cache. The
type information structure is required for rapid deserialisation.
Continuing with the above example, if a #GVariant exists with the
type "a{sv}" then a type information struct will exist for
"a{sv}", "{sv}", "s", and "v". Multiple uses of the same type
will share the same type information. Additionally, all
single-digit types are stored in read-only static memory and do
not contribute to the writable memory footprint of a program using
#GVariant.
Aside from the type information structures stored in read-only
memory, there are two forms of type information. One is used for
container types where there is a single element type: arrays and
maybe types. The other is used for container types where there
are multiple element types: tuples and dictionary entries.
Array type info structures are 6 * sizeof (void *), plus the
memory required to store the type string itself. This means that
on 32-bit systems, the cache entry for "a{sv}" would require 30
bytes of memory (plus malloc overhead).
Tuple type info structures are 6 * sizeof (void *), plus 4 *
sizeof (void *) for each item in the tuple, plus the memory
required to store the type string itself. A 2-item tuple, for
example, would have a type information structure that consumed
writable memory in the size of 14 * sizeof (void *) (plus type
string) This means that on 32-bit systems, the cache entry for
"{sv}" would require 61 bytes of memory (plus malloc overhead).
This means that in total, for our "a{sv}" example, 91 bytes of
type information would be allocated.
The type information cache, additionally, uses a #GHashTable to
store and look up the cached items and stores a pointer to this
hash table in static storage. The hash table is freed when there
are zero items in the type cache.
Although these sizes may seem large it is important to remember
that a program will probably only have a very small number of
different types of values in it and that only one type information
structure is required for many different values of the same type.
## Buffer Management Memory
#GVariant uses an internal buffer management structure to deal
with the various different possible sources of serialised data
that it uses. The buffer is responsible for ensuring that the
correct call is made when the data is no longer in use by
#GVariant. This may involve a g_free() or a g_slice_free() or
even g_mapped_file_unref().
One buffer management structure is used for each chunk of
serialised data. The size of the buffer management structure
is 4 * (void *). On 32-bit systems, that's 16 bytes.
## GVariant structure
The size of a #GVariant structure is 6 * (void *). On 32-bit
systems, that's 24 bytes.
#GVariant structures only exist if they are explicitly created
with API calls. For example, if a #GVariant is constructed out of
serialised data for the example given above (with the dictionary)
then although there are 9 individual values that comprise the
entire dictionary (two keys, two values, two variants containing
the values, two dictionary entries, plus the dictionary itself),
only 1 #GVariant instance exists -- the one referring to the
dictionary.
If calls are made to start accessing the other values then
#GVariant instances will exist for those values only for as long
as they are in use (ie: until you call g_variant_unref()). The
type information is shared. The serialised data and the buffer
management structure for that serialised data is shared by the
child.
## Summary
To put the entire example together, for our dictionary mapping
strings to variants (with two entries, as given above), we are
using 91 bytes of memory for type information, 29 bytes of memory
for the serialised data, 16 bytes for buffer management and 24
bytes for the #GVariant instance, or a total of 160 bytes, plus
malloc overhead. If we were to use g_variant_get_child_value() to
access the two dictionary entries, we would use an additional 48
bytes. If we were to have other dictionaries of the same type, we
would use more memory for the serialised data and buffer
management for those dictionaries, but the type information would
be shared.</doc>
<constructor name="new" c:identifier="g_variant_new" version="2.24" introspectable="0">
<doc xml:space="preserve">Creates a new #GVariant instance.
Think of this function as an analogue to g_strdup_printf().
The type of the created instance and the arguments that are expected
by this function are determined by @format_string. See the section on
[GVariant format strings][gvariant-format-strings]. Please note that
the syntax of the format string is very likely to be extended in the
future.
The first character of the format string must not be '*' '?' '@' or
'r'; in essence, a new #GVariant must always be constructed by this
function (and not merely passed through it unmodified).
Note that the arguments must be of the correct width for their types
specified in @format_string. This can be achieved by casting them. See
the [GVariant varargs documentation][gvariant-varargs].

If @data is trusted to be serialised data in normal form then
@trusted should be %TRUE. This applies to serialised data created

<constructor name="new_va" c:identifier="g_variant_new_va" version="2.24" introspectable="0">
<doc xml:space="preserve">This function is intended to be used by libraries based on
#GVariant that want to provide g_variant_new()-like functionality
to their users.
The API is more general than g_variant_new() to allow a wider range
of possible uses.
@format_string must still point to a valid format string, but it only
needs to be nul-terminated if @endptr is %NULL. If @endptr is
non-%NULL then it is updated to point to the first character past the
end of the format string.
@app is a pointer to a #va_list. The arguments, according to
@format_string, are collected from this #va_list and the list is left
pointing to the argument following the last.
Note that the arguments in @app must be of the correct width for their
types specified in @format_string when collected into the #va_list.
See the [GVariant varargs documentation][gvariant-varargs].
These two generalisations allow mixing of multiple calls to
g_variant_new_va() and g_variant_get_va() within a single actual
varargs call by the user.
The return value will be floating if it was a newly created GVariant
instance (for example, if the format string was "(ii)"). In the case
that the format_string was '*', '?', 'r', or a format starting with
'@' then the collected #GVariant pointer will be returned unmodified,
without adding any additional references.
In order to behave correctly in all cases it is necessary for the
calling function to g_variant_ref_sink() the return result before
returning control to the user that originally provided the pointer.
At this point, the caller will have their own full reference to the
result. This can also be done by adding the result to a container,
or by passing it to another g_variant_new() call.</doc>

Comparison is only defined for basic types (ie: booleans, numbers,

It is an error if @index_ is greater than the number of child items

The returned value is never floating. You should free it with
g_variant_unref() when you're done with it.
Note that values borrowed from the returned child are not guaranteed to
still be valid after the child is freed even if you still hold a reference
to @value, if @value has not been serialised at the time this function is
called. To avoid this, you can serialize @value by calling
g_variant_get_data() and optionally ignoring the return value.

which would result in the unit tuple being returned as the child value,
instead of further nested children. #GVariant is guaranteed to handle

The returned data may not be in fully-normalised form if read from an
untrusted source. The returned data must not be freed; it remains
valid for as long as @value exists.
If @value is a fixed-sized value that was deserialised from a
corrupted serialised container then %NULL may be returned. In this
case, the proper thing to do is typically to use the appropriate
number of nul bytes in place of @value. If @value is not fixed-sized
then %NULL is never returned.
In the case that @value is already in serialised form, this function
is O(1). If the value is not already in serialised form,
serialisation occurs implicitly and is approximately O(n) in the size
of the result.
To deserialise the data returned by this function, in addition to the
serialised data, you must know the type of the #GVariant, and (if the
machine might be different) the endianness of the machine that stored
it. As a result, file formats or network messages that incorporate
serialised #GVariants must include this information either
implicitly (for instance "the file always contains a
%G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARIANT and it is always in little-endian order") or
explicitly (by storing the type and/or endianness in addition to the

@format_string must still point to a valid format string, but it only
need to be nul-terminated if @endptr is %NULL. If @endptr is

@app is a pointer to a #va_list. The arguments, according to
@format_string, are collected from this #va_list and the list is left
pointing to the argument following the last.
These two generalisations allow mixing of multiple calls to
g_variant_new_va() and g_variant_get_va() within a single actual
varargs call by the user.
@format_string determines the C types that are used for unpacking

Calling g_variant_ref_sink() on a #GVariant with a floating reference
will convert the floating reference into a full reference. Calling
g_variant_ref_sink() on a non-floating #GVariant results in an
additional normal reference being added.
In other words, if the @value is floating, then this call "assumes
ownership" of the floating reference, converting it to a normal
reference. If the @value is not floating, then this call adds a
new normal reference increasing the reference count by one.
All calls that result in a #GVariant instance being inserted into a
container will call g_variant_ref_sink() on the instance. This means
that if the value was just created (and has only its floating
reference) then the container will assume sole ownership of the value
at that point and the caller will not need to unreference it. This
makes certain common styles of programming much easier while still
maintaining normal refcounting semantics in situations where values
are not floating.</doc>

<doc xml:space="preserve">If @value is floating, sink it. Otherwise, do nothing.
Typically you want to use g_variant_ref_sink() in order to
automatically do the correct thing with respect to floating or
non-floating references, but there is one specific scenario where
this function is helpful.
The situation where this function is helpful is when creating an API
that allows the user to provide a callback function that returns a
#GVariant. We certainly want to allow the user the flexibility to
return a non-floating reference from this callback (for the case
where the value that is being returned already exists).
At the same time, the style of the #GVariant API makes it likely that
for newly-created #GVariant instances, the user can be saved some
typing if they are allowed to return a #GVariant with a floating
reference.
Using this function on the return value of the user's callback allows
the user to do whichever is more convenient for them. The caller
will always receives exactly one full reference to the value: either
the one that was returned in the first place, or a floating reference
that has been converted to a full reference.
This function has an odd interaction when combined with
g_variant_ref_sink() running at the same time in another thread on
the same #GVariant instance. If g_variant_ref_sink() runs first then
the result will be that the floating reference is converted to a hard
reference. If g_variant_take_ref() runs first then the result will
be that the floating reference is converted to a hard reference and
an additional reference on top of that one is added. It is best to
avoid this situation.</doc>

A single #GVariant is parsed from the content of @text.
The format is described [here][gvariant-text].
The memory at @limit will never be accessed and the parser behaves as
if the character at @limit is the nul terminator. This has the
effect of bounding @text.
If @endptr is non-%NULL then @text is permitted to contain data
following the value that this function parses and @endptr will be
updated to point to the first character past the end of the text
parsed by this function. If @endptr is %NULL and there is extra data
then an error is returned.
If @type is non-%NULL then the value will be parsed to have that
type. This may result in additional parse errors (in the case that
the parsed value doesn't fit the type) but may also result in fewer
errors (in the case that the type would have been ambiguous, such as
with empty arrays).
In the event that the parsing is successful, the resulting #GVariant

g_variant_unref().
In case of any error, %NULL will be returned. If @error is non-%NULL
then it will be set to reflect the error that occurred.

<doc xml:space="preserve">#GVariantDict is a mutable interface to #GVariant dictionaries.
It can be used for doing a sequence of dictionary lookups in an
efficient way on an existing #GVariant dictionary or it can be used
to construct new dictionaries with a hashtable-like interface. It
can also be used for taking existing dictionaries and modifying them
in order to create new ones.
#GVariantDict can only be used with %G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT
dictionaries.
It is possible to use #GVariantDict allocated on the stack or on the
heap. When using a stack-allocated #GVariantDict, you begin with a
call to g_variant_dict_init() and free the resources with a call to
g_variant_dict_clear().
Heap-allocated #GVariantDict follows normal refcounting rules: you
allocate it with g_variant_dict_new() and use g_variant_dict_ref()
and g_variant_dict_unref().
g_variant_dict_end() is used to convert the #GVariantDict back into a
dictionary-type #GVariant. When used with stack-allocated instances,
this also implicitly frees all associated memory, but for
heap-allocated instances, you must still call g_variant_dict_unref()
afterwards.
You will typically want to use a heap-allocated #GVariantDict when
you expose it as part of an API. For most other uses, the
stack-allocated form will be more convenient.
Consider the following two examples that do the same thing in each
style: take an existing dictionary and look up the "count" uint32
key, adding 1 to it if it is found, or returning an error if the
key is not found. Each returns the new dictionary as a floating
#GVariant.

On the first call to this function, the pointers appearing on the
variable argument list are assumed to point at uninitialised memory.
On the second and later calls, it is assumed that the same pointers
will be given and that they will point to the memory as set by the
previous call to this function. This allows the previous values to
be freed, as appropriate.
This function is intended to be used with a while loop as
demonstrated in the following example. This function can only be
used when iterating over an array. It is only valid to call this
function with a string constant for the format string and the same
string constant must be used each time. Mixing calls to this
function and g_variant_iter_next() or g_variant_iter_next_value() on
the same iterator causes undefined behavior.
If you break out of a such a while loop using g_variant_iter_loop() then
you must free or unreference all the unpacked values as you would with
g_variant_get(). Failure to do so will cause a memory leak.
Here is an example for memory management with g_variant_iter_loop():
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
// Iterates a dictionary of type 'a{sv}'
void
iterate_dictionary (GVariant *dictionary)
{
GVariantIter iter;
GVariant *value;
gchar *key;
g_variant_iter_init (&amp;iter, dictionary);
while (g_variant_iter_loop (&amp;iter, "{sv}", &amp;key, &amp;value))
{
g_print ("Item '%s' has type '%s'\n", key,
g_variant_get_type_string (value));
// no need to free 'key' and 'value' here
// unless breaking out of this loop
}
}
]|
For most cases you should use g_variant_iter_next().
This function is really only useful when unpacking into #GVariant or
#GVariantIter in order to allow you to skip the call to
g_variant_unref() or g_variant_iter_free().
For example, if you are only looping over simple integer and string
types, g_variant_iter_next() is definitely preferred. For string
types, use the '&amp;' prefix to avoid allocating any memory at all (and
thereby avoiding the need to free anything as well).
@format_string determines the C types that are used for unpacking
the values and also determines if the values are copied or borrowed.

<doc xml:space="preserve">This section introduces the GVariant type system. It is based, in
large part, on the D-Bus type system, with two major changes and
some minor lifting of restrictions. The
[D-Bus specification](http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html),
therefore, provides a significant amount of
information that is useful when working with GVariant.
The first major change with respect to the D-Bus type system is the
introduction of maybe (or "nullable") types. Any type in GVariant can be
converted to a maybe type, in which case, "nothing" (or "null") becomes a
valid value. Maybe types have been added by introducing the
character "m" to type strings.
The second major change is that the GVariant type system supports the
concept of "indefinite types" -- types that are less specific than
the normal types found in D-Bus. For example, it is possible to speak
of "an array of any type" in GVariant, where the D-Bus type system
would require you to speak of "an array of integers" or "an array of
strings". Indefinite types have been added by introducing the
characters "*", "?" and "r" to type strings.
Finally, all arbitrary restrictions relating to the complexity of
types are lifted along with the restriction that dictionary entries
may only appear nested inside of arrays.
Just as in D-Bus, GVariant types are described with strings ("type
strings"). Subject to the differences mentioned above, these strings
are of the same form as those found in DBus. Note, however: D-Bus
always works in terms of messages and therefore individual type
strings appear nowhere in its interface. Instead, "signatures"
are a concatenation of the strings of the type of each argument in a
message. GVariant deals with single values directly so GVariant type
strings always describe the type of exactly one value. This means
that a D-Bus signature string is generally not a valid GVariant type
string -- except in the case that it is the signature of a message
containing exactly one argument.
An indefinite type is similar in spirit to what may be called an
abstract type in other type systems. No value can exist that has an
indefinite type as its type, but values can exist that have types
that are subtypes of indefinite types. That is to say,
g_variant_get_type() will never return an indefinite type, but
calling g_variant_is_of_type() with an indefinite type may return
%TRUE. For example, you cannot have a value that represents "an
array of no particular type", but you can have an "array of integers"
which certainly matches the type of "an array of no particular type",
since "array of integers" is a subtype of "array of no particular
type".
This is similar to how instances of abstract classes may not
directly exist in other type systems, but instances of their
non-abstract subtypes may. For example, in GTK, no object that has
the type of #GtkBin can exist (since #GtkBin is an abstract class),
but a #GtkWindow can certainly be instantiated, and you would say
that the #GtkWindow is a #GtkBin (since #GtkWindow is a subclass of
#GtkBin).
## GVariant Type Strings
A GVariant type string can be any of the following:
- any basic type string (listed below)
- "v", "r" or "*"
- one of the characters 'a' or 'm', followed by another type string
- the character '(', followed by a concatenation of zero or more other
type strings, followed by the character ')'
- the character '{', followed by a basic type string (see below),
followed by another type string, followed by the character '}'
A basic type string describes a basic type (as per
g_variant_type_is_basic()) and is always a single character in length.
The valid basic type strings are "b", "y", "n", "q", "i", "u", "x", "t",
"h", "d", "s", "o", "g" and "?".
The above definition is recursive to arbitrary depth. "aaaaai" and
"(ui(nq((y)))s)" are both valid type strings, as is
"a(aa(ui)(qna{ya(yd)}))". In order to not hit memory limits, #GVariant
imposes a limit on recursion depth of 65 nested containers. This is the
limit in the D-Bus specification (64) plus one to allow a #GDBusMessage to
be nested in a top-level tuple.
The meaning of each of the characters is as follows:
- `b`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_BOOLEAN; a boolean value.
- `y`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTE; a byte.
- `n`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_INT16; a signed 16 bit integer.
- `q`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_UINT16; an unsigned 16 bit integer.
- `i`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_INT32; a signed 32 bit integer.
- `u`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_UINT32; an unsigned 32 bit integer.
- `x`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_INT64; a signed 64 bit integer.
- `t`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_UINT64; an unsigned 64 bit integer.
- `h`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_HANDLE; a signed 32 bit value
that, by convention, is used as an index into an array of file
descriptors that are sent alongside a D-Bus message.
- `d`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_DOUBLE; a double precision
floating point value.
- `s`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_STRING; a string.
- `o`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_OBJECT_PATH; a string in the form
of a D-Bus object path.
- `g`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_SIGNATURE; a string in the form of
a D-Bus type signature.
- `?`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_BASIC; an indefinite type that
is a supertype of any of the basic types.
- `v`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARIANT; a container type that
contain any other type of value.
- `a`: used as a prefix on another type string to mean an array of that
type; the type string "ai", for example, is the type of an array of
signed 32-bit integers.
- `m`: used as a prefix on another type string to mean a "maybe", or
"nullable", version of that type; the type string "ms", for example,
is the type of a value that maybe contains a string, or maybe contains
nothing.
- `()`: used to enclose zero or more other concatenated type strings to
create a tuple type; the type string "(is)", for example, is the type of
a pair of an integer and a string.
- `r`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_TUPLE; an indefinite type that is
a supertype of any tuple type, regardless of the number of items.
- `{}`: used to enclose a basic type string concatenated with another type
string to create a dictionary entry type, which usually appears inside of
an array to form a dictionary; the type string "a{sd}", for example, is
the type of a dictionary that maps strings to double precision floating
point values.
The first type (the basic type) is the key type and the second type is
the value type. The reason that the first type is restricted to being a
basic type is so that it can easily be hashed.
- `*`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_ANY; the indefinite type that is
a supertype of all types. Note that, as with all type strings, this
character represents exactly one type. It cannot be used inside of tuples
to mean "any number of items".
Any type string of a container that contains an indefinite type is,
itself, an indefinite type. For example, the type string "a*"
(corresponding to %G_VARIANT_TYPE_ARRAY) is an indefinite type
that is a supertype of every array type. "(*s)" is a supertype
of all tuples that contain exactly two items where the second
item is a string.
"a{?*}" is an indefinite type that is a supertype of all arrays
containing dictionary entries where the key is any basic type and
the value is any type at all. This is, by definition, a dictionary,
so this type string corresponds to %G_VARIANT_TYPE_DICTIONARY. Note
that, due to the restriction that the key of a dictionary entry must
be a basic type, "{**}" is not a valid type string.</doc>

Thus it provides the same advantages and pitfalls as alloca():
- alloca() is very fast, as on most systems it's implemented by just adjusting
the stack pointer register.
- It doesn't cause any memory fragmentation, within its scope, separate alloca()
blocks just build up and are released together at function end.
- Allocation sizes have to fit into the current stack frame. For instance in a
threaded environment on Linux, the per-thread stack size is limited to 2 Megabytes,
so be sparse with alloca() uses.
- Allocation failure due to insufficient stack space is not indicated with a %NULL
return like e.g. with malloc(). Instead, most systems probably handle it the same
way as out of stack space situations from infinite function recursion, i.e.
with a segmentation fault.
- Special care has to be taken when mixing alloca() with GNU C variable sized arrays.
Stack space allocated with alloca() in the same scope as a variable sized array
will be freed together with the variable sized array upon exit of that scope, and
not upon exit of the enclosing function scope.</doc>

<docsection name="arcbox">
<doc xml:space="preserve">An "atomically reference counted box", or "ArcBox", is an opaque wrapper
data type that is guaranteed to be as big as the size of a given data type,
and which augments the given data type with thread safe reference counting
semantics for its memory management.
ArcBox is useful if you have a plain old data type, like a structure
typically placed on the stack, and you wish to provide additional API
to use it on the heap; or if you want to implement a new type to be
passed around by reference without necessarily implementing copy/free
semantics or your own reference counting.
The typical use is:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
typedef struct {
char *name;
char *address;
char *city;
char *state;
int age;
} Person;
Person *
person_new (void)
{
return g_atomic_rc_box_new0 (Person);
}
]|
Every time you wish to acquire a reference on the memory, you should
call g_atomic_rc_box_acquire(); similarly, when you wish to release a reference
you should call g_atomic_rc_box_release():
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
// Add a Person to the Database; the Database acquires ownership
// of the Person instance
void
add_person_to_database (Database *db, Person *p)
{
db-&gt;persons = g_list_prepend (db-&gt;persons, g_atomic_rc_box_acquire (p));
}
// Removes a Person from the Database; the reference acquired by
// add_person_to_database() is released here
void
remove_person_from_database (Database *db, Person *p)
{
db-&gt;persons = g_list_remove (db-&gt;persons, p);
g_atomic_rc_box_release (p);
}
]|
If you have additional memory allocated inside the structure, you can
use g_atomic_rc_box_release_full(), which takes a function pointer, which
will be called if the reference released was the last:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
void
person_clear (Person *p)
{

If you wish to transfer the ownership of a reference counted data
type without increasing the reference count, you can use g_steal_pointer():
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
Person *p = g_atomic_rc_box_new (Person);
fill_person_details (p);
add_person_to_database (db, g_steal_pointer (&amp;p));
]|
## Thread safety
The reference counting operations on data allocated using g_atomic_rc_box_alloc(),
g_atomic_rc_box_new(), and g_atomic_rc_box_dup() are guaranteed to be atomic, and thus
can be safely be performed by different threads. It is important to note that
only the reference acquisition and release are atomic; changes to the content
of the data are your responsibility.
## Automatic pointer clean up
If you want to add g_autoptr() support to your plain old data type through
reference counting, you can use the G_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CLEANUP_FUNC() and
g_atomic_rc_box_release():
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
G_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CLEANUP_FUNC (MyDataStruct, g_atomic_rc_box_release)
]|
If you need to clear the contents of the data, you will need to use an
ancillary function that calls g_rc_box_release_full():
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
static void
my_data_struct_release (MyDataStruct *data)
{
// my_data_struct_clear() is defined elsewhere
g_atomic_rc_box_release_full (data, (GDestroyNotify) my_data_struct_clear);
}

<doc xml:space="preserve">Arrays are similar to standard C arrays, except that they grow
automatically as elements are added.
Array elements can be of any size (though all elements of one array
are the same size), and the array can be automatically cleared to
'0's and zero-terminated.
To create a new array use g_array_new().
To add elements to an array with a cost of O(n) at worst, use
g_array_append_val(), g_array_append_vals(), g_array_prepend_val(),
g_array_prepend_vals(), g_array_insert_val() and g_array_insert_vals().
To access an element of an array in O(1) (to read it or to write it),
use g_array_index().
To set the size of an array, use g_array_set_size().
To free an array, use g_array_unref() or g_array_free().
All the sort functions are internally calling a quick-sort (or similar)
function with an average cost of O(n log(n)) and a worst case
cost of O(n^2).
Here is an example that stores integers in a #GArray:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
GArray *garray;
gint i;
// We create a new array to store gint values.
// We don't want it zero-terminated or cleared to 0's.

<docsection name="arrays_pointer">
<doc xml:space="preserve">Pointer Arrays are similar to Arrays but are used only for storing
pointers.
If you remove elements from the array, elements at the end of the
array are moved into the space previously occupied by the removed
element. This means that you should not rely on the index of particular
elements remaining the same. You should also be careful when deleting
elements while iterating over the array.
To create a pointer array, use g_ptr_array_new().
To add elements to a pointer array, use g_ptr_array_add().
To remove elements from a pointer array, use g_ptr_array_remove(),
g_ptr_array_remove_index() or g_ptr_array_remove_index_fast().
To access an element of a pointer array, use g_ptr_array_index().
To set the size of a pointer array, use g_ptr_array_set_size().

This function behaves like the standard strtod() function
does in the C locale. It does this without actually changing
the current locale, since that would not be thread-safe.
A limitation of the implementation is that this function
will still accept localized versions of infinities and NANs.
This function is typically used when reading configuration
files or other non-user input that should be locale independent.
To handle input from the user you should normally use the
locale-sensitive system strtod() function.
To convert from a #gdouble to a string in a locale-insensitive
way, use g_ascii_dtostr().
If the correct value would cause overflow, plus or minus %HUGE_VAL
is returned (according to the sign of the value), and %ERANGE is
stored in %errno. If the correct value would cause underflow,
zero is returned and %ERANGE is stored in %errno.
This function resets %errno before calling strtod() so that
you can reliably detect overflow and underflow.</doc>

<docsection name="async_queues">
<doc xml:space="preserve">Often you need to communicate between different threads. In general
it's safer not to do this by shared memory, but by explicit message
passing. These messages only make sense asynchronously for
multi-threaded applications though, as a synchronous operation could
as well be done in the same thread.
Asynchronous queues are an exception from most other GLib data
structures, as they can be used simultaneously from multiple threads
without explicit locking and they bring their own builtin reference
counting. This is because the nature of an asynchronous queue is that
it will always be used by at least 2 concurrent threads.
For using an asynchronous queue you first have to create one with
g_async_queue_new(). #GAsyncQueue structs are reference counted,
use g_async_queue_ref() and g_async_queue_unref() to manage your
references.
A thread which wants to send a message to that queue simply calls
g_async_queue_push() to push the message to the queue.
A thread which is expecting messages from an asynchronous queue
simply calls g_async_queue_pop() for that queue. If no message is
available in the queue at that point, the thread is now put to sleep
until a message arrives. The message will be removed from the queue
and returned. The functions g_async_queue_try_pop() and
g_async_queue_timeout_pop() can be used to only check for the presence
of messages or to only wait a certain time for messages respectively.
For almost every function there exist two variants, one that locks
the queue and one that doesn't. That way you can hold the queue lock
(acquire it with g_async_queue_lock() and release it with
g_async_queue_unlock()) over multiple queue accessing instructions.
This can be necessary to ensure the integrity of the queue, but should
only be used when really necessary, as it can make your life harder
if used unwisely. Normally you should only use the locking function
variants (those without the _unlocked suffix).
In many cases, it may be more convenient to use #GThreadPool when
you need to distribute work to a set of worker threads instead of
using #GAsyncQueue manually. #GThreadPool uses a GAsyncQueue
internally.</doc>

<function name="atexit" c:identifier="g_atexit" deprecated="1" deprecated-version="2.32">
<doc xml:space="preserve">Specifies a function to be called at normal program termination.
Since GLib 2.8.2, on Windows g_atexit() actually is a preprocessor
macro that maps to a call to the atexit() function in the C
library. This means that in case the code that calls g_atexit(),
i.e. atexit(), is in a DLL, the function will be called when the
DLL is detached from the program. This typically makes more sense
than that the function is called when the GLib DLL is detached,
which happened earlier when g_atexit() was a function in the GLib
DLL.
The behaviour of atexit() in the context of dynamically loaded
modules is not formally specified and varies wildly.
On POSIX systems, calling g_atexit() (or atexit()) in a dynamically
loaded module which is unloaded before the program terminates might
well cause a crash at program exit.
Some POSIX systems implement atexit() like Windows, and have each
dynamically loaded module maintain an own atexit chain that is
called when the module is unloaded.
On other POSIX systems, before a dynamically loaded module is
unloaded, the registered atexit functions (if any) residing in that
module are called, regardless where the code that registered them
resided. This is presumably the most robust approach.
As can be seen from the above, for portability it's best to avoid
calling g_atexit() (or atexit()) except in the main executable of a
program.</doc>

<docsection name="atomic_operations">
<doc xml:space="preserve">The following is a collection of compiler macros to provide atomic
access to integer and pointer-sized values.
The macros that have 'int' in the name will operate on pointers to
#gint and #guint. The macros with 'pointer' in the name will operate
on pointers to any pointer-sized value, including #gsize. There is
no support for 64bit operations on platforms with 32bit pointers
because it is not generally possible to perform these operations
atomically.
The get, set and exchange operations for integers and pointers
nominally operate on #gint and #gpointer, respectively. Of the
arithmetic operations, the 'add' operation operates on (and returns)
signed integer values (#gint and #gssize) and the 'and', 'or', and
'xor' operations operate on (and return) unsigned integer values
(#guint and #gsize).
All of the operations act as a full compiler and (where appropriate)
hardware memory barrier. Acquire and release or producer and
consumer barrier semantics are not available through this API.
It is very important that all accesses to a particular integer or
pointer be performed using only this API and that different sizes of
operation are not mixed or used on overlapping memory regions. Never
read or assign directly from or to a value -- always use this API.
For simple reference counting purposes you should use
g_atomic_int_inc() and g_atomic_int_dec_and_test(). Other uses that
fall outside of simple reference counting patterns are prone to
subtle bugs and occasionally undefined behaviour. It is also worth
noting that since all of these operations require global
synchronisation of the entire machine, they can be quite slow. In
the case of performing multiple atomic operations it can often be
faster to simply acquire a mutex lock around the critical area,
perform the operations normally and then release the lock.</doc>

<docsection name="base64">
<doc xml:space="preserve">Base64 is an encoding that allows a sequence of arbitrary bytes to be
encoded as a sequence of printable ASCII characters. For the definition
of Base64, see
[RFC 1421](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1421.txt)
or
[RFC 2045](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2045.txt).
Base64 is most commonly used as a MIME transfer encoding
for email.
GLib supports incremental encoding using g_base64_encode_step() and
g_base64_encode_close(). Incremental decoding can be done with
g_base64_decode_step(). To encode or decode data in one go, use
g_base64_encode() or g_base64_decode(). To avoid memory allocation when
decoding, you can use g_base64_decode_inplace().
Support for Base64 encoding has been added in GLib 2.12.</doc>

When all of the data has been converted you must call

The output buffer must be large enough to fit all the data that will

((@len / 3 + 1) * 4 + 4) / 76 + 1 bytes of extra space.
@break_lines is typically used when putting base64-encoded data in emails.
It breaks the lines at 76 columns instead of putting all of the text on
the same line. This avoids problems with long lines in the email system.
Note however that it breaks the lines with `LF` characters, not
`CR LF` sequences, so the result cannot be passed directly to SMTP
or certain other protocols.</doc>

<doc xml:space="preserve">GBookmarkFile lets you parse, edit or create files containing bookmarks
to URI, along with some meta-data about the resource pointed by the URI
like its MIME type, the application that is registering the bookmark and
the icon that should be used to represent the bookmark. The data is stored
using the
[Desktop Bookmark Specification](http://www.gnome.org/~ebassi/bookmark-spec).
The syntax of the bookmark files is described in detail inside the
Desktop Bookmark Specification, here is a quick summary: bookmark
files use a sub-class of the XML Bookmark Exchange Language
specification, consisting of valid UTF-8 encoded XML, under the
&lt;xbel&gt; root element; each bookmark is stored inside a
&lt;bookmark&gt; element, using its URI: no relative paths can
be used inside a bookmark file. The bookmark may have a user defined
title and description, to be used instead of the URI. Under the
&lt;metadata&gt; element, with its owner attribute set to
`http://freedesktop.org`, is stored the meta-data about a resource
pointed by its URI. The meta-data consists of the resource's MIME
type; the applications that have registered a bookmark; the groups
to which a bookmark belongs to; a visibility flag, used to set the
bookmark as "private" to the applications and groups that has it
registered; the URI and MIME type of an icon, to be used when
displaying the bookmark inside a GUI.
Here is an example of a bookmark file:
[bookmarks.xbel](https://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/tree/glib/tests/bookmarks.xbel)
A bookmark file might contain more than one bookmark; each bookmark
is accessed through its URI.
The important caveat of bookmark files is that when you add a new
bookmark you must also add the application that is registering it, using
g_bookmark_file_add_application() or g_bookmark_file_set_application_info().
If a bookmark has no applications then it won't be dumped when creating
the on disk representation, using g_bookmark_file_to_data() or
g_bookmark_file_to_file().
The #GBookmarkFile parser was added in GLib 2.12.</doc>

<docsection name="byte_order">
<doc xml:space="preserve">These macros provide a portable way to determine the host byte order
and to convert values between different byte orders.
The byte order is the order in which bytes are stored to create larger
data types such as the #gint and #glong values.
The host byte order is the byte order used on the current machine.
Some processors store the most significant bytes (i.e. the bytes that
hold the largest part of the value) first. These are known as big-endian
processors. Other processors (notably the x86 family) store the most
significant byte last. These are known as little-endian processors.
Finally, to complicate matters, some other processors store the bytes in
a rather curious order known as PDP-endian. For a 4-byte word, the 3rd
most significant byte is stored first, then the 4th, then the 1st and
finally the 2nd.
Obviously there is a problem when these different processors communicate
with each other, for example over networks or by using binary file formats.
This is where these macros come in. They are typically used to convert
values into a byte order which has been agreed on for use when
communicating between different processors. The Internet uses what is
known as 'network byte order' as the standard byte order (which is in
fact the big-endian byte order).
Note that the byte order conversion macros may evaluate their arguments
multiple times, thus you should not use them with arguments which have
side-effects.</doc>

for a sequence of arbitrary bytes, using various hashing algorithms

environments and specifications.
GLib supports incremental checksums using the GChecksum data
structure, by calling g_checksum_update() as long as there's data
available and then using g_checksum_get_string() or
g_checksum_get_digest() to compute the checksum and return it either
as a string in hexadecimal form, or as a raw sequence of bytes. To
compute the checksum for binary blobs and NUL-terminated strings in
one go, use the convenience functions g_compute_checksum_for_data()
and g_compute_checksum_for_string(), respectively.
Support for checksums has been added in GLib 2.16</doc>

On POSIX platforms, the following restrictions apply to this API
due to limitations in POSIX process interfaces:
* @pid must be a child of this process
* @pid must be positive
* the application must not call `waitpid` with a non-positive
first argument, for instance in another thread
* the application must not wait for @pid to exit by any other
mechanism, including `waitpid(pid, ...)` or a second child-watch
source for the same @pid
* the application must not ignore SIGCHILD
If any of those conditions are not met, this and related APIs will
not work correctly. This can often be diagnosed via a GLib warning
stating that `ECHILD` was received by `waitpid`.
Calling `waitpid` for specific processes other than @pid remains a
valid thing to do.</doc>

<docsection name="conversions">
<doc xml:space="preserve">The g_convert() family of function wraps the functionality of iconv().
In addition to pure character set conversions, GLib has functions to
deal with the extra complications of encodings for file names.
## File Name Encodings
Historically, UNIX has not had a defined encoding for file names:
a file name is valid as long as it does not have path separators
in it ("/"). However, displaying file names may require conversion:
from the character set in which they were created, to the character
set in which the application operates. Consider the Spanish file name
"Presentaci&#xF3;n.sxi". If the application which created it uses
ISO-8859-1 for its encoding,
|[
Character: P r e s e n t a c i &#xF3; n . s x i
Hex code: 50 72 65 73 65 6e 74 61 63 69 f3 6e 2e 73 78 69
]|
However, if the application use UTF-8, the actual file name on
disk would look like this:
|[
Character: P r e s e n t a c i &#xF3; n . s x i
Hex code: 50 72 65 73 65 6e 74 61 63 69 c3 b3 6e 2e 73 78 69
]|
Glib uses UTF-8 for its strings, and GUI toolkits like GTK+ that use
GLib do the same thing. If you get a file name from the file system,
for example, from readdir() or from g_dir_read_name(), and you wish
to display the file name to the user, you will need to convert it
into UTF-8. The opposite case is when the user types the name of a
file they wish to save: the toolkit will give you that string in
UTF-8 encoding, and you will need to convert it to the character
set used for file names before you can create the file with open()
or fopen().
By default, GLib assumes that file names on disk are in UTF-8
encoding. This is a valid assumption for file systems which
were created relatively recently: most applications use UTF-8
encoding for their strings, and that is also what they use for
the file names they create. However, older file systems may
still contain file names created in "older" encodings, such as
ISO-8859-1. In this case, for compatibility reasons, you may want
to instruct GLib to use that particular encoding for file names
rather than UTF-8. You can do this by specifying the encoding for
file names in the [`G_FILENAME_ENCODING`][G_FILENAME_ENCODING]
environment variable. For example, if your installation uses
ISO-8859-1 for file names, you can put this in your `~/.profile`:
|[
export G_FILENAME_ENCODING=ISO-8859-1
]|
GLib provides the functions g_filename_to_utf8() and
g_filename_from_utf8() to perform the necessary conversions.
These functions convert file names from the encoding specified
in `G_FILENAME_ENCODING` to UTF-8 and vice-versa. This
[diagram][file-name-encodings-diagram] illustrates how
these functions are used to convert between UTF-8 and the
encoding for file names in the file system.
## Conversion between file name encodings # {#file-name-encodings-diagram)
![](file-name-encodings.png)
## Checklist for Application Writers
This section is a practical summary of the detailed
things to do to make sure your applications process file
name encodings correctly.
1. If you get a file name from the file system from a function
such as readdir() or gtk_file_chooser_get_filename(), you do
not need to do any conversion to pass that file name to
functions like open(), rename(), or fopen() -- those are "raw"
file names which the file system understands.
2. If you need to display a file name, convert it to UTF-8 first
by using g_filename_to_utf8(). If conversion fails, display a
string like "Unknown file name". Do not convert this string back
into the encoding used for file names if you wish to pass it to
the file system; use the original file name instead.
For example, the document window of a word processor could display
"Unknown file name" in its title bar but still let the user save
the file, as it would keep the raw file name internally. This
can happen if the user has not set the `G_FILENAME_ENCODING`
environment variable even though he has files whose names are
not encoded in UTF-8.
3. If your user interface lets the user type a file name for saving
or renaming, convert it to the encoding used for file names in
the file system by using g_filename_from_utf8(). Pass the converted
file name to functions like fopen(). If conversion fails, ask the
user to enter a different file name. This can happen if the user
types Japanese characters when `G_FILENAME_ENCODING` is set to
`ISO-8859-1`, for example.</doc>

<docsection name="datasets">
<doc xml:space="preserve">Datasets associate groups of data elements with particular memory
locations. These are useful if you need to associate data with a
structure returned from an external library. Since you cannot modify
the structure, you use its location in memory as the key into a
dataset, where you can associate any number of data elements with it.
There are two forms of most of the dataset functions. The first form
uses strings to identify the data elements associated with a
location. The second form uses #GQuark identifiers, which are
created with a call to g_quark_from_string() or
g_quark_from_static_string(). The second form is quicker, since it
does not require looking up the string in the hash table of #GQuark
identifiers.
There is no function to create a dataset. It is automatically
created as soon as you add elements to it.
To add data elements to a dataset use g_dataset_id_set_data(),
g_dataset_id_set_data_full(), g_dataset_set_data() and
g_dataset_set_data_full().
To get data elements from a dataset use g_dataset_id_get_data() and
g_dataset_get_data().
To iterate over all data elements in a dataset use
g_dataset_foreach() (not thread-safe).
To remove data elements from a dataset use
g_dataset_id_remove_data() and g_dataset_remove_data().
To destroy a dataset, use g_dataset_destroy().</doc>

<docsection name="date">
<doc xml:space="preserve">The #GDate data structure represents a day between January 1, Year 1,
and sometime a few thousand years in the future (right now it will go
to the year 65535 or so, but g_date_set_parse() only parses up to the
year 8000 or so - just count on "a few thousand"). #GDate is meant to
represent everyday dates, not astronomical dates or historical dates
or ISO timestamps or the like. It extrapolates the current Gregorian
calendar forward and backward in time; there is no attempt to change
the calendar to match time periods or locations. #GDate does not store
time information; it represents a day.
The #GDate implementation has several nice features; it is only a
64-bit struct, so storing large numbers of dates is very efficient. It
can keep both a Julian and day-month-year representation of the date,
since some calculations are much easier with one representation or the
other. A Julian representation is simply a count of days since some
fixed day in the past; for #GDate the fixed day is January 1, 1 AD.
("Julian" dates in the #GDate API aren't really Julian dates in the
technical sense; technically, Julian dates count from the start of the
Julian period, Jan 1, 4713 BC).
#GDate is simple to use. First you need a "blank" date; you can get a
dynamically allocated date from g_date_new(), or you can declare an
automatic variable or array and initialize it by
calling g_date_clear(). A cleared date is safe; it's safe to call
g_date_set_dmy() and the other mutator functions to initialize the
value of a cleared date. However, a cleared date is initially
invalid, meaning that it doesn't represent a day that exists.
It is undefined to call any of the date calculation routines on an
invalid date. If you obtain a date from a user or other
unpredictable source, you should check its validity with the
g_date_valid() predicate. g_date_valid() is also used to check for
errors with g_date_set_parse() and other functions that can
fail. Dates can be invalidated by calling g_date_clear() again.
It is very important to use the API to access the #GDate
struct. Often only the day-month-year or only the Julian
representation is valid. Sometimes neither is valid. Use the API.
GLib also features #GDateTime which represents a precise time.</doc>

<docsection name="datetime">
<doc xml:space="preserve">#GDateTime is a structure that combines a Gregorian date and time
into a single structure. It provides many conversion and methods to
manipulate dates and times. Time precision is provided down to
microseconds and the time can range (proleptically) from 0001-01-01
00:00:00 to 9999-12-31 23:59:59.999999. #GDateTime follows POSIX
time in the sense that it is oblivious to leap seconds.
#GDateTime is an immutable object; once it has been created it cannot
be modified further. All modifiers will create a new #GDateTime.
Nearly all such functions can fail due to the date or time going out
of range, in which case %NULL will be returned.
#GDateTime is reference counted: the reference count is increased by calling
g_date_time_ref() and decreased by calling g_date_time_unref(). When the
reference count drops to 0, the resources allocated by the #GDateTime
structure are released.
Many parts of the API may produce non-obvious results. As an
example, adding two months to January 31st will yield March 31st
whereas adding one month and then one month again will yield either
March 28th or March 29th. Also note that adding 24 hours is not
always the same as adding one day (since days containing daylight
savings time transitions are either 23 or 25 hours in length).
#GDateTime is available since GLib 2.26.</doc>

<doc xml:space="preserve">This function is a wrapper of dgettext() which does not translate
the message if the default domain as set with textdomain() has no
translations for the current locale.
The advantage of using this function over dgettext() proper is that
libraries using this function (like GTK+) will not use translations
if the application using the library does not have translations for
the current locale. This results in a consistent English-only
interface instead of one having partial translations. For this
feature to work, the call to textdomain() and setlocale() should
precede any g_dgettext() invocations. For GTK+, it means calling
textdomain() before gtk_init or its variants.
This function disables translations if and only if upon its first
call all the following conditions hold:
- @domain is not %NULL
- textdomain() has been called to set a default text domain
- there is no translations available for the default text domain
and the current locale
- current locale is not "C" or any English locales (those
starting with "en_")
Note that this behavior may not be desired for example if an application
has its untranslated messages in a language other than English. In those
cases the application should call textdomain() after initializing GTK+.
Applications should normally not use this function directly,
but use the _() macro for translations.</doc>

<docsection name="error_reporting">
<doc xml:space="preserve">GLib provides a standard method of reporting errors from a called
function to the calling code. (This is the same problem solved by
exceptions in other languages.) It's important to understand that
this method is both a data type (the #GError struct) and a [set of
rules][gerror-rules]. If you use #GError incorrectly, then your code will not
properly interoperate with other code that uses #GError, and users
of your API will probably get confused. In most cases, [using #GError is
preferred over numeric error codes][gerror-comparison], but there are
situations where numeric error codes are useful for performance.
First and foremost: #GError should only be used to report recoverable
runtime errors, never to report programming errors. If the programmer
has screwed up, then you should use g_warning(), g_return_if_fail(),
g_assert(), g_error(), or some similar facility. (Incidentally,
remember that the g_error() function should only be used for
programming errors, it should not be used to print any error
reportable via #GError.)
Examples of recoverable runtime errors are "file not found" or
"failed to parse input." Examples of programming errors are "NULL
passed to strcmp()" or "attempted to free the same pointer twice."
These two kinds of errors are fundamentally different: runtime errors
should be handled or reported to the user, programming errors should
be eliminated by fixing the bug in the program. This is why most
functions in GLib and GTK+ do not use the #GError facility.
Functions that can fail take a return location for a #GError as their
last argument. On error, a new #GError instance will be allocated and
returned to the caller via this argument. For example:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
gboolean g_file_get_contents (const gchar *filename,
gchar **contents,
gsize *length,
GError **error);
]|
If you pass a non-%NULL value for the `error` argument, it should
point to a location where an error can be placed. For example:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
gchar *contents;
GError *err = NULL;
g_file_get_contents ("foo.txt", &amp;contents, NULL, &amp;err);
g_assert ((contents == NULL &amp;&amp; err != NULL) || (contents != NULL &amp;&amp; err == NULL));
if (err != NULL)
{
// Report error to user, and free error
g_assert (contents == NULL);
fprintf (stderr, "Unable to read file: %s\n", err-&gt;message);
g_error_free (err);
}
else
{
// Use file contents
g_assert (contents != NULL);
}
]|
Note that `err != NULL` in this example is a reliable indicator
of whether g_file_get_contents() failed. Additionally,
g_file_get_contents() returns a boolean which
indicates whether it was successful.
Because g_file_get_contents() returns %FALSE on failure, if you
are only interested in whether it failed and don't need to display
an error message, you can pass %NULL for the @error argument:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
if (g_file_get_contents ("foo.txt", &amp;contents, NULL, NULL)) // ignore errors
// no error occurred
;
else
// error
;
]|
The #GError object contains three fields: @domain indicates the module
the error-reporting function is located in, @code indicates the specific
error that occurred, and @message is a user-readable error message with
as many details as possible. Several functions are provided to deal
with an error received from a called function: g_error_matches()
returns %TRUE if the error matches a given domain and code,
g_propagate_error() copies an error into an error location (so the
calling function will receive it), and g_clear_error() clears an
error location by freeing the error and resetting the location to
%NULL. To display an error to the user, simply display the @message,
perhaps along with additional context known only to the calling
function (the file being opened, or whatever - though in the
g_file_get_contents() case, the @message already contains a filename).
Note, however, that many error messages are too technical to display to the
user in an application, so prefer to use g_error_matches() to categorize errors
from called functions, and build an appropriate error message for the context
within your application. Error messages from a #GError are more appropriate
to be printed in system logs or on the command line. They are typically
translated.
When implementing a function that can report errors, the basic
tool is g_set_error(). Typically, if a fatal error occurs you
want to g_set_error(), then return immediately. g_set_error()
does nothing if the error location passed to it is %NULL.
Here's an example:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
gint
foo_open_file (GError **error)
{
gint fd;
int saved_errno;
g_return_val_if_fail (error == NULL || *error == NULL, -1);
fd = open ("file.txt", O_RDONLY);
saved_errno = errno;
if (fd &lt; 0)
{
g_set_error (error,
FOO_ERROR, // error domain
FOO_ERROR_BLAH, // error code
"Failed to open file: %s", // error message format string
g_strerror (saved_errno));
return -1;
}
else
return fd;
}
]|
Things are somewhat more complicated if you yourself call another
function that can report a #GError. If the sub-function indicates
fatal errors in some way other than reporting a #GError, such as
by returning %TRUE on success, you can simply do the following:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
gboolean
my_function_that_can_fail (GError **err)
{
g_return_val_if_fail (err == NULL || *err == NULL, FALSE);
if (!sub_function_that_can_fail (err))
{
// assert that error was set by the sub-function
g_assert (err == NULL || *err != NULL);
return FALSE;
}
// otherwise continue, no error occurred
g_assert (err == NULL || *err == NULL);
}
]|
If the sub-function does not indicate errors other than by
reporting a #GError (or if its return value does not reliably indicate
errors) you need to create a temporary #GError
since the passed-in one may be %NULL. g_propagate_error() is
intended for use in this case.
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
gboolean
my_function_that_can_fail (GError **err)
{
GError *tmp_error;
g_return_val_if_fail (err == NULL || *err == NULL, FALSE);
tmp_error = NULL;
sub_function_that_can_fail (&amp;tmp_error);
if (tmp_error != NULL)
{
// store tmp_error in err, if err != NULL,
// otherwise call g_error_free() on tmp_error
g_propagate_error (err, tmp_error);
return FALSE;
}
// otherwise continue, no error occurred
}
]|
Error pileups are always a bug. For example, this code is incorrect:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
gboolean
my_function_that_can_fail (GError **err)
{
GError *tmp_error;
g_return_val_if_fail (err == NULL || *err == NULL, FALSE);
tmp_error = NULL;
sub_function_that_can_fail (&amp;tmp_error);
other_function_that_can_fail (&amp;tmp_error);
if (tmp_error != NULL)
{
g_propagate_error (err, tmp_error);
return FALSE;
}
}
]|
@tmp_error should be checked immediately after sub_function_that_can_fail(),
and either cleared or propagated upward. The rule is: after each error,
you must either handle the error, or return it to the calling function.
Note that passing %NULL for the error location is the equivalent
of handling an error by always doing nothing about it. So the
following code is fine, assuming errors in sub_function_that_can_fail()
are not fatal to my_function_that_can_fail():
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
gboolean
my_function_that_can_fail (GError **err)
{
GError *tmp_error;
g_return_val_if_fail (err == NULL || *err == NULL, FALSE);
sub_function_that_can_fail (NULL); // ignore errors
tmp_error = NULL;
other_function_that_can_fail (&amp;tmp_error);
if (tmp_error != NULL)
{
g_propagate_error (err, tmp_error);
return FALSE;
}
}
]|
Note that passing %NULL for the error location ignores errors;
it's equivalent to
`try { sub_function_that_can_fail (); } catch (...) {}`
in C++. It does not mean to leave errors unhandled; it means
to handle them by doing nothing.
Error domains and codes are conventionally named as follows:
- The error domain is called &lt;NAMESPACE&gt;_&lt;MODULE&gt;_ERROR,
for example %G_SPAWN_ERROR or %G_THREAD_ERROR:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
#define G_SPAWN_ERROR g_spawn_error_quark ()
G_DEFINE_QUARK (g-spawn-error-quark, g_spawn_error)
]|
- The quark function for the error domain is called
&lt;namespace&gt;_&lt;module&gt;_error_quark,
for example g_spawn_error_quark() or g_thread_error_quark().
- The error codes are in an enumeration called
&lt;Namespace&gt;&lt;Module&gt;Error;
for example, #GThreadError or #GSpawnError.
- Members of the error code enumeration are called
&lt;NAMESPACE&gt;_&lt;MODULE&gt;_ERROR_&lt;CODE&gt;,
for example %G_SPAWN_ERROR_FORK or %G_THREAD_ERROR_AGAIN.
- If there's a "generic" or "unknown" error code for unrecoverable
errors it doesn't make sense to distinguish with specific codes,
it should be called &lt;NAMESPACE&gt;_&lt;MODULE&gt;_ERROR_FAILED,
for example %G_SPAWN_ERROR_FAILED. In the case of error code
enumerations that may be extended in future releases, you should
generally not handle this error code explicitly, but should
instead treat any unrecognized error code as equivalent to
FAILED.
## Comparison of #GError and traditional error handling # {#gerror-comparison}
#GError has several advantages over traditional numeric error codes:
importantly, tools like
[gobject-introspection](https://developer.gnome.org/gi/stable/) understand
#GErrors and convert them to exceptions in bindings; the message includes
more information than just a code; and use of a domain helps prevent
misinterpretation of error codes.
#GError has disadvantages though: it requires a memory allocation, and
formatting the error message string has a performance overhead. This makes it
unsuitable for use in retry loops where errors are a common case, rather than
being unusual. For example, using %G_IO_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK means hitting these
overheads in the normal control flow. String formatting overhead can be
eliminated by using g_set_error_literal() in some cases.
These performance issues can be compounded if a function wraps the #GErrors
returned by the functions it calls: this multiplies the number of allocations
and string formatting operations. This can be partially mitigated by using
g_prefix_error().
## Rules for use of #GError # {#gerror-rules}
Summary of rules for use of #GError:
- Do not report programming errors via #GError.
- The last argument of a function that returns an error should
be a location where a #GError can be placed (i.e. "#GError** error").
If #GError is used with varargs, the #GError** should be the last
argument before the "...".
- The caller may pass %NULL for the #GError** if they are not interested
in details of the exact error that occurred.
- If %NULL is passed for the #GError** argument, then errors should
not be returned to the caller, but your function should still
abort and return if an error occurs. That is, control flow should
not be affected by whether the caller wants to get a #GError.
- If a #GError is reported, then your function by definition had a
fatal failure and did not complete whatever it was supposed to do.
If the failure was not fatal, then you handled it and you should not
report it. If it was fatal, then you must report it and discontinue
whatever you were doing immediately.
- If a #GError is reported, out parameters are not guaranteed to
be set to any defined value.
- A #GError* must be initialized to %NULL before passing its address
to a function that can report errors.
- "Piling up" errors is always a bug. That is, if you assign a
new #GError to a #GError* that is non-%NULL, thus overwriting
the previous error, it indicates that you should have aborted
the operation instead of continuing. If you were able to continue,
you should have cleared the previous error with g_clear_error().
g_set_error() will complain if you pile up errors.
- By convention, if you return a boolean value indicating success
then %TRUE means success and %FALSE means failure. Avoid creating
functions which have a boolean return value and a GError parameter,
but where the boolean does something other than signal whether the
GError is set. Among other problems, it requires C callers to allocate
a temporary error. Instead, provide a "gboolean *" out parameter.
There are functions in GLib itself such as g_key_file_has_key() that
are deprecated because of this. If %FALSE is returned, the error must
be set to a non-%NULL value. One exception to this is that in situations
that are already considered to be undefined behaviour (such as when a
g_return_val_if_fail() check fails), the error need not be set.
Instead of checking separately whether the error is set, callers
should ensure that they do not provoke undefined behaviour, then
assume that the error will be set on failure.
- A %NULL return value is also frequently used to mean that an error
occurred. You should make clear in your documentation whether %NULL
is a valid return value in non-error cases; if %NULL is a valid value,
then users must check whether an error was returned to see if the
function succeeded.
- When implementing a function that can report errors, you may want
to add a check at the top of your function that the error return
location is either %NULL or contains a %NULL error (e.g.
`g_return_if_fail (error == NULL || *error == NULL);`).</doc>

If a file called @filename already exists it will be overwritten.
@flags control the properties of the write operation: whether it&#x2019;s atomic,
and what the tradeoff is between returning quickly or being resilient to
system crashes.
As this function performs file I/O, it is recommended to not call it anywhere
where blocking would cause problems, such as in the main loop of a graphical
application. In particular, if @flags has any value other than
%G_FILE_SET_CONTENTS_NONE then this function may call `fsync()`.
If %G_FILE_SET_CONTENTS_CONSISTENT is set in @flags, the operation is atomic
in the sense that it is first written to a temporary file which is then
renamed to the final name.
Notes:
- On UNIX, if @filename already exists hard links to @filename will break.
Also since the file is recreated, existing permissions, access control
lists, metadata etc. may be lost. If @filename is a symbolic link,
the link itself will be replaced, not the linked file.
- On UNIX, if @filename already exists and is non-empty, and if the system
supports it (via a journalling filesystem or equivalent), and if
%G_FILE_SET_CONTENTS_CONSISTENT is set in @flags, the `fsync()` call (or
equivalent) will be used to ensure atomic replacement: @filename
will contain either its old contents or @contents, even in the face of
system power loss, the disk being unsafely removed, etc.
- On UNIX, if @filename does not already exist or is empty, there is a
possibility that system power loss etc. after calling this function will
leave @filename empty or full of NUL bytes, depending on the underlying
filesystem, unless %G_FILE_SET_CONTENTS_DURABLE and
%G_FILE_SET_CONTENTS_CONSISTENT are set in @flags.
- On Windows renaming a file will not remove an existing file with the
new name, so on Windows there is a race condition between the existing
file being removed and the temporary file being renamed.
- On Windows there is no way to remove a file that is open to some
process, or mapped into memory. Thus, this function will fail if
@filename already exists and is open.
If the call was successful, it returns %TRUE. If the call was not successful,
it returns %FALSE and sets @error. The error domain is #G_FILE_ERROR.
Possible error codes are those in the #GFileError enumeration.
Note that the name for the temporary file is constructed by appending up
to 7 characters to @filename.
If the file didn&#x2019;t exist before and is created, it will be given the
permissions from @mode. Otherwise, the permissions of the existing file may
be changed to @mode depending on @flags, or they may remain unchanged.</doc>

the current set of available tests, there's no point passing in

Apart from %G_FILE_TEST_IS_SYMLINK all tests follow symbolic links,

You should never use g_file_test() to test whether it is safe

Another thing to note is that %G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS and
%G_FILE_TEST_IS_EXECUTABLE are implemented using the access()
system call. This usually doesn't matter, but if your program
is setuid or setgid it means that these tests will give you
the answer for the real user ID and group ID, rather than the
effective user ID and group ID.
On Windows, there are no symlinks, so testing for
%G_FILE_TEST_IS_SYMLINK will always return %FALSE. Testing for
%G_FILE_TEST_IS_EXECUTABLE will just check that the file exists and
its name indicates that it is executable, checking for well-known
extensions and those listed in the `PATHEXT` environment variable.</doc>

<doc xml:space="preserve">Do not use these APIs unless you are porting a POSIX application to Windows.
A more high-level file access API is provided as GIO &#x2014; see the documentation
for #GFile.
There is a group of functions which wrap the common POSIX functions
dealing with filenames (g_open(), g_rename(), g_mkdir(), g_stat(),
g_unlink(), g_remove(), g_fopen(), g_freopen()). The point of these
wrappers is to make it possible to handle file names with any Unicode
characters in them on Windows without having to use ifdefs and the
wide character API in the application code.
On some Unix systems, these APIs may be defined as identical to their POSIX
counterparts. For this reason, you must check for and include the necessary
header files (such as `fcntl.h`) before using functions like g_creat(). You
must also define the relevant feature test macros.
The pathname argument should be in the GLib file name encoding.
On POSIX this is the actual on-disk encoding which might correspond
to the locale settings of the process (or the `G_FILENAME_ENCODING`
environment variable), or not.
On Windows the GLib file name encoding is UTF-8. Note that the
Microsoft C library does not use UTF-8, but has separate APIs for
current system code page and wide characters (UTF-16). The GLib
wrappers call the wide character API if present (on modern Windows
systems), otherwise convert to/from the system code page.
Another group of functions allows to open and read directories
in the GLib file name encoding. These are g_dir_open(),
g_dir_read_name(), g_dir_rewind(), g_dir_close().</doc>

On Unix, the character sets are determined by consulting the

<docsection name="hash_tables">
<doc xml:space="preserve">A #GHashTable provides associations between keys and values which is
optimized so that given a key, the associated value can be found,
inserted or removed in amortized O(1). All operations going through
each element take O(n) time (list all keys/values, table resize, etc.).
Note that neither keys nor values are copied when inserted into the
#GHashTable, so they must exist for the lifetime of the #GHashTable.
This means that the use of static strings is OK, but temporary
strings (i.e. those created in buffers and those returned by GTK
widgets) should be copied with g_strdup() before being inserted.
If keys or values are dynamically allocated, you must be careful to
ensure that they are freed when they are removed from the
#GHashTable, and also when they are overwritten by new insertions
into the #GHashTable. It is also not advisable to mix static strings
and dynamically-allocated strings in a #GHashTable, because it then
becomes difficult to determine whether the string should be freed.
To create a #GHashTable, use g_hash_table_new().
To insert a key and value into a #GHashTable, use
g_hash_table_insert().
To look up a value corresponding to a given key, use
g_hash_table_lookup() and g_hash_table_lookup_extended().
g_hash_table_lookup_extended() can also be used to simply
check if a key is present in the hash table.
To remove a key and value, use g_hash_table_remove().
To call a function for each key and value pair use
g_hash_table_foreach() or use an iterator to iterate over the
key/value pairs in the hash table, see #GHashTableIter. The iteration order
of a hash table is not defined, and you must not rely on iterating over
keys/values in the same order as they were inserted.
To destroy a #GHashTable use g_hash_table_destroy().
A common use-case for hash tables is to store information about a
set of keys, without associating any particular value with each
key. GHashTable optimizes one way of doing so: If you store only
key-value pairs where key == value, then GHashTable does not
allocate memory to store the values, which can be a considerable
space saving, if your set is large. The functions
g_hash_table_add() and g_hash_table_contains() are designed to be
used when using #GHashTable this way.
#GHashTable is not designed to be statically initialised with keys and
values known at compile time. To build a static hash table, use a tool such
as [gperf](https://www.gnu.org/software/gperf/).</doc>

<doc xml:space="preserve">GLib doesn't force any particular localization method upon its users.
But since GLib itself is localized using the gettext() mechanism, it seems
natural to offer the de-facto standard gettext() support macros in an
easy-to-use form.
In order to use these macros in an application, you must include
`&lt;glib/gi18n.h&gt;`. For use in a library, you must include
`&lt;glib/gi18n-lib.h&gt;`
after defining the %GETTEXT_PACKAGE macro suitably for your library:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
#define GETTEXT_PACKAGE "gtk20"
#include &lt;glib/gi18n-lib.h&gt;
]|
For an application, note that you also have to call bindtextdomain(),
bind_textdomain_codeset(), textdomain() and setlocale() early on in your
main() to make gettext() work. For example:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
#include &lt;glib/gi18n.h&gt;
#include &lt;locale.h&gt;
int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
setlocale (LC_ALL, "");
bindtextdomain (GETTEXT_PACKAGE, DATADIR "/locale");
bind_textdomain_codeset (GETTEXT_PACKAGE, "UTF-8");
textdomain (GETTEXT_PACKAGE);
// Rest of your application.
}
]|
where `DATADIR` is as typically provided by automake or Meson.
For a library, you only have to call bindtextdomain() and
bind_textdomain_codeset() in your initialization function. If your library
doesn't have an initialization function, you can call the functions before
the first translated message.
The
[gettext manual](http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#Maintainers)
covers details of how to integrate gettext into a project&#x2019;s build system and
workflow.</doc>

<doc xml:space="preserve">The #GIOChannel data type aims to provide a portable method for
using file descriptors, pipes, and sockets, and integrating them
into the [main event loop][glib-The-Main-Event-Loop]. Currently,
full support is available on UNIX platforms, support for Windows
is only partially complete.
To create a new #GIOChannel on UNIX systems use
g_io_channel_unix_new(). This works for plain file descriptors,
pipes and sockets. Alternatively, a channel can be created for a
file in a system independent manner using g_io_channel_new_file().
Once a #GIOChannel has been created, it can be used in a generic
manner with the functions g_io_channel_read_chars(),
g_io_channel_write_chars(), g_io_channel_seek_position(), and
g_io_channel_shutdown().
To add a #GIOChannel to the [main event loop][glib-The-Main-Event-Loop],
use g_io_add_watch() or g_io_add_watch_full(). Here you specify which
events you are interested in on the #GIOChannel, and provide a
function to be called whenever these events occur.
#GIOChannel instances are created with an initial reference count of 1.
g_io_channel_ref() and g_io_channel_unref() can be used to
increment or decrement the reference count respectively. When the
reference count falls to 0, the #GIOChannel is freed. (Though it
isn't closed automatically, unless it was created using
g_io_channel_new_file().) Using g_io_add_watch() or
g_io_add_watch_full() increments a channel's reference count.
The new functions g_io_channel_read_chars(),
g_io_channel_read_line(), g_io_channel_read_line_string(),
g_io_channel_read_to_end(), g_io_channel_write_chars(),
g_io_channel_seek_position(), and g_io_channel_flush() should not be
mixed with the deprecated functions g_io_channel_read(),
g_io_channel_write(), and g_io_channel_seek() on the same channel.</doc>

<doc xml:space="preserve">#GKeyFile lets you parse, edit or create files containing groups of
key-value pairs, which we call "key files" for lack of a better name.
Several freedesktop.org specifications use key files now, e.g the
[Desktop Entry Specification](http://freedesktop.org/Standards/desktop-entry-spec)
and the
[Icon Theme Specification](http://freedesktop.org/Standards/icon-theme-spec).
The syntax of key files is described in detail in the
[Desktop Entry Specification](http://freedesktop.org/Standards/desktop-entry-spec),
here is a quick summary: Key files
consists of groups of key-value pairs, interspersed with comments.
|[
# this is just an example
# there can be comments before the first group
[First Group]
Name=Key File Example\tthis value shows\nescaping
# localized strings are stored in multiple key-value pairs
Welcome=Hello
Welcome[de]=Hallo
Welcome[fr_FR]=Bonjour
Welcome[it]=Ciao
Welcome[be@latin]=Hello
[Another Group]
Numbers=2;20;-200;0
Booleans=true;false;true;true
]|
Lines beginning with a '#' and blank lines are considered comments.
Groups are started by a header line containing the group name enclosed
in '[' and ']', and ended implicitly by the start of the next group or
the end of the file. Each key-value pair must be contained in a group.
Key-value pairs generally have the form `key=value`, with the
exception of localized strings, which have the form
`key[locale]=value`, with a locale identifier of the
form `lang_COUNTRY@MODIFIER` where `COUNTRY` and `MODIFIER`
are optional.
Space before and after the '=' character are ignored. Newline, tab,
carriage return and backslash characters in value are escaped as \n,
\t, \r, and \\\\, respectively. To preserve leading spaces in values,
these can also be escaped as \s.
Key files can store strings (possibly with localized variants), integers,
booleans and lists of these. Lists are separated by a separator character,
typically ';' or ','. To use the list separator character in a value in
a list, it has to be escaped by prefixing it with a backslash.
This syntax is obviously inspired by the .ini files commonly met
on Windows, but there are some important differences:
- .ini files use the ';' character to begin comments,
key files use the '#' character.
- Key files do not allow for ungrouped keys meaning only
comments can precede the first group.
- Key files are always encoded in UTF-8.
- Key and Group names are case-sensitive. For example, a group called
[GROUP] is a different from [group].
- .ini files don't have a strongly typed boolean entry type,
they only have GetProfileInt(). In key files, only
true and false (in lower case) are allowed.
Note that in contrast to the
[Desktop Entry Specification](http://freedesktop.org/Standards/desktop-entry-spec),
groups in key files may contain the same
key multiple times; the last entry wins. Key files may also contain
multiple groups with the same name; they are merged together.
Another difference is that keys and group names in key files are not
restricted to ASCII characters.
Here is an example of loading a key file and reading a value:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
g_autoptr(GError) error = NULL;
g_autoptr(GKeyFile) key_file = g_key_file_new ();
if (!g_key_file_load_from_file (key_file, "key-file.ini", flags, &amp;error))
{
if (!g_error_matches (error, G_FILE_ERROR, G_FILE_ERROR_NOENT))
g_warning ("Error loading key file: %s", error-&gt;message);
return;
}
g_autofree gchar *val = g_key_file_get_string (key_file, "Group Name", "SomeKey", &amp;error);
if (val == NULL &amp;&amp;
!g_error_matches (error, G_KEY_FILE_ERROR, G_KEY_FILE_ERROR_KEY_NOT_FOUND))
{
g_warning ("Error finding key in key file: %s", error-&gt;message);
return;
}
else if (val == NULL)
{
// Fall back to a default value.
val = g_strdup ("default-value");
}
]|
Here is an example of creating and saving a key file:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
g_autoptr(GKeyFile) key_file = g_key_file_new ();
const gchar *val = &#x2026;;
g_autoptr(GError) error = NULL;
g_key_file_set_string (key_file, "Group Name", "SomeKey", val);
// Save as a file.
if (!g_key_file_save_to_file (key_file, "key-file.ini", &amp;error))
{
g_warning ("Error saving key file: %s", error-&gt;message);
return;
}
// Or store to a GBytes for use elsewhere.
gsize data_len;
g_autofree guint8 *data = (guint8 *) g_key_file_to_data (key_file, &amp;data_len, &amp;error);
if (data == NULL)
{
g_warning ("Error saving key file: %s", error-&gt;message);
return;
}
g_autoptr(GBytes) bytes = g_bytes_new_take (g_steal_pointer (&amp;data), data_len);

<doc xml:space="preserve">The #GList structure and its associated functions provide a standard
doubly-linked list data structure. The benefit of this data-structure
is to provide insertion/deletion operations in O(1) complexity where
access/search operations are in O(n). The benefit of #GList over
#GSList (singly linked list) is that the worst case on access/search
operations is divided by two which comes at a cost in space as we need
to retain two pointers in place of one.
Each element in the list contains a piece of data, together with
pointers which link to the previous and next elements in the list.
Using these pointers it is possible to move through the list in both
directions (unlike the singly-linked [GSList][glib-Singly-Linked-Lists],
which only allows movement through the list in the forward direction).
The double linked list does not keep track of the number of items
and does not keep track of both the start and end of the list. If
you want fast access to both the start and the end of the list,
and/or the number of items in the list, use a
[GQueue][glib-Double-ended-Queues] instead.
The data contained in each element can be either integer values, by
using one of the [Type Conversion Macros][glib-Type-Conversion-Macros],
or simply pointers to any type of data.
List elements are allocated from the [slice allocator][glib-Memory-Slices],
which is more efficient than allocating elements individually.
Note that most of the #GList functions expect to be passed a pointer
to the first element in the list. The functions which insert
elements return the new start of the list, which may have changed.
There is no function to create a #GList. %NULL is considered to be
a valid, empty list so you simply set a #GList* to %NULL to initialize
it.
To add elements, use g_list_append(), g_list_prepend(),
g_list_insert() and g_list_insert_sorted().
To visit all elements in the list, use a loop over the list:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
GList *l;
for (l = list; l != NULL; l = l-&gt;next)
{
// do something with l-&gt;data
}
]|
To call a function for each element in the list, use g_list_foreach().
To loop over the list and modify it (e.g. remove a certain element)
a while loop is more appropriate, for example:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
GList *l = list;
while (l != NULL)
{
GList *next = l-&gt;next;
if (should_be_removed (l))
{
// possibly free l-&gt;data
list = g_list_delete_link (list, l);
}
l = next;
}
]|
To remove elements, use g_list_remove().
To navigate in a list, use g_list_first(), g_list_last(),
g_list_next(), g_list_previous().
To find elements in the list use g_list_nth(), g_list_nth_data(),
g_list_find() and g_list_find_custom().
To find the index of an element use g_list_position() and
g_list_index().
To free the entire list, use g_list_free() or g_list_free_full().</doc>

g_slist_insert() and g_slist_insert_sorted().
To remove elements, use g_slist_remove().
To find elements in the list use g_slist_last(), g_slist_next(),
g_slist_nth(), g_slist_nth_data(), g_slist_find() and
g_slist_find_custom().
To find the index of an element use g_slist_position() and
g_slist_index().
To call a function for each element in the list use
g_slist_foreach().
To free the entire list, use g_slist_free().</doc>

See the documentation for #GLogWriterFunc for information on chaining
writers.
The structured data is provided as key&#x2013;value pairs, where keys are UTF-8
strings, and values are arbitrary pointers &#x2014; typically pointing to UTF-8
strings, but that is not a requirement. To pass binary (non-nul-terminated)
structured data, use g_log_structured_array(). The keys for structured data
should follow the [systemd journal
fields](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.journal-fields.html)
specification. It is suggested that custom keys are namespaced according to
the code which sets them. For example, custom keys from GLib all have a
`GLIB_` prefix.
The @log_domain will be converted into a `GLIB_DOMAIN` field. @log_level will
be converted into a
[`PRIORITY`](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.journal-fields.html#PRIORITY=)
field. The format string will have its placeholders substituted for the provided
values and be converted into a
[`MESSAGE`](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.journal-fields.html#MESSAGE=)
field.
Other fields you may commonly want to pass into this function:
* [`MESSAGE_ID`](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.journal-fields.html#MESSAGE_ID=)
* [`CODE_FILE`](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.journal-fields.html#CODE_FILE=)
* [`CODE_LINE`](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.journal-fields.html#CODE_LINE=)
* [`CODE_FUNC`](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.journal-fields.html#CODE_FUNC=)
* [`ERRNO`](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.journal-fields.html#ERRNO=)
Note that `CODE_FILE`, `CODE_LINE` and `CODE_FUNC` are automatically set by
the logging macros, G_DEBUG_HERE(), g_message(), g_warning(), g_critical(),
g_error(), etc, if the symbols `G_LOG_USE_STRUCTURED` is defined before including
glib.h.
For example:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
g_log_structured (G_LOG_DOMAIN, G_LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG,
"MESSAGE_ID", "06d4df59e6c24647bfe69d2c27ef0b4e",
"MY_APPLICATION_CUSTOM_FIELD", "some debug string",
"MESSAGE", "This is a debug message about pointer %p and integer %u.",
some_pointer, some_integer);
]|
Note that each `MESSAGE_ID` must be [uniquely and randomly
generated](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.journal-fields.html#MESSAGE_ID=).
If adding a `MESSAGE_ID`, consider shipping a [message
catalog](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/catalog/) with
your software.
To pass a user data pointer to the log writer function which is specific to
this logging call, you must use g_log_structured_array() and pass the pointer
as a field with #GLogField.length set to zero, otherwise it will be
interpreted as a string.
For example:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
const GLogField fields[] = {
{ "MESSAGE", "This is a debug message.", -1 },
{ "MESSAGE_ID", "fcfb2e1e65c3494386b74878f1abf893", -1 },
{ "MY_APPLICATION_CUSTOM_FIELD", "some debug string", -1 },
{ "MY_APPLICATION_STATE", state_object, 0 },
};
g_log_structured_array (G_LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG, fields, G_N_ELEMENTS (fields));
]|
Note also that, even if no other structured fields are specified, there
must always be a `MESSAGE` key before the format string. The `MESSAGE`-format
pair has to be the last of the key-value pairs, and `MESSAGE` is the only
field for which printf()-style formatting is supported.
The default writer function for `stdout` and `stderr` will automatically
append a new-line character after the message, so you should not add one
manually to the format string.</doc>

<docsection name="main">
<doc xml:space="preserve">The main event loop manages all the available sources of events for
GLib and GTK+ applications. These events can come from any number of
different types of sources such as file descriptors (plain files,
pipes or sockets) and timeouts. New types of event sources can also
be added using g_source_attach().
To allow multiple independent sets of sources to be handled in
different threads, each source is associated with a #GMainContext.
A #GMainContext can only be running in a single thread, but
sources can be added to it and removed from it from other threads. All
functions which operate on a #GMainContext or a built-in #GSource are
thread-safe.
Each event source is assigned a priority. The default priority,
#G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, is 0. Values less than 0 denote higher priorities.
Values greater than 0 denote lower priorities. Events from high priority
sources are always processed before events from lower priority sources.
Idle functions can also be added, and assigned a priority. These will
be run whenever no events with a higher priority are ready to be processed.
The #GMainLoop data type represents a main event loop. A GMainLoop is
created with g_main_loop_new(). After adding the initial event sources,
g_main_loop_run() is called. This continuously checks for new events from
each of the event sources and dispatches them. Finally, the processing of
an event from one of the sources leads to a call to g_main_loop_quit() to
exit the main loop, and g_main_loop_run() returns.
It is possible to create new instances of #GMainLoop recursively.
This is often used in GTK+ applications when showing modal dialog
boxes. Note that event sources are associated with a particular
#GMainContext, and will be checked and dispatched for all main
loops associated with that GMainContext.
GTK+ contains wrappers of some of these functions, e.g. gtk_main(),
gtk_main_quit() and gtk_events_pending().
## Creating new source types
One of the unusual features of the #GMainLoop functionality
is that new types of event source can be created and used in
addition to the builtin type of event source. A new event source
type is used for handling GDK events. A new source type is created
by "deriving" from the #GSource structure. The derived type of
source is represented by a structure that has the #GSource structure
as a first element, and other elements specific to the new source
type. To create an instance of the new source type, call
g_source_new() passing in the size of the derived structure and
a table of functions. These #GSourceFuncs determine the behavior of
the new source type.
New source types basically interact with the main context
in two ways. Their prepare function in #GSourceFuncs can set a timeout
to determine the maximum amount of time that the main loop will sleep
before checking the source again. In addition, or as well, the source
can add file descriptors to the set that the main context checks using
g_source_add_poll().
## Customizing the main loop iteration
Single iterations of a #GMainContext can be run with
g_main_context_iteration(). In some cases, more detailed control
of exactly how the details of the main loop work is desired, for
instance, when integrating the #GMainLoop with an external main loop.
In such cases, you can call the component functions of
g_main_context_iteration() directly. These functions are
g_main_context_prepare(), g_main_context_query(),
g_main_context_check() and g_main_context_dispatch().
## State of a Main Context # {#mainloop-states}
The operation of these functions can best be seen in terms
of a state diagram, as shown in this image.
![](mainloop-states.gif)
On UNIX, the GLib mainloop is incompatible with fork(). Any program
using the mainloop must either exec() or exit() from the child
without returning to the mainloop.
## Memory management of sources # {#mainloop-memory-management}
There are two options for memory management of the user data passed to a
#GSource to be passed to its callback on invocation. This data is provided
in calls to g_timeout_add(), g_timeout_add_full(), g_idle_add(), etc. and
more generally, using g_source_set_callback(). This data is typically an
object which &#x2018;owns&#x2019; the timeout or idle callback, such as a widget or a
network protocol implementation. In many cases, it is an error for the
callback to be invoked after this owning object has been destroyed, as that
results in use of freed memory.
The first, and preferred, option is to store the source ID returned by
functions such as g_timeout_add() or g_source_attach(), and explicitly
remove that source from the main context using g_source_remove() when the
owning object is finalized. This ensures that the callback can only be
invoked while the object is still alive.
The second option is to hold a strong reference to the object in the
callback, and to release it in the callback&#x2019;s #GDestroyNotify. This ensures
that the object is kept alive until after the source is finalized, which is
guaranteed to be after it is invoked for the final time. The #GDestroyNotify
is another callback passed to the &#x2018;full&#x2019; variants of #GSource functions (for
example, g_timeout_add_full()). It is called when the source is finalized,
and is designed for releasing references like this.
One important caveat of this second approach is that it will keep the object
alive indefinitely if the main loop is stopped before the #GSource is
invoked, which may be undesirable.</doc>

That is, when called from the toplevel, it gives 0. When
called from within a callback from g_main_context_iteration()
(or g_main_loop_run(), etc.) it returns 1. When called from within
a callback to a recursive call to g_main_context_iteration(),
it returns 2. And so forth.
This function is useful in a situation like the following:
Imagine an extremely simple "garbage collected" system.
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
static GList *free_list;
gpointer
allocate_memory (gsize size)
{
gpointer result = g_malloc (size);
free_list = g_list_prepend (free_list, result);
return result;
}
void
free_allocated_memory (void)
{
GList *l;
for (l = free_list; l; l = l-&gt;next);
g_free (l-&gt;data);
g_list_free (free_list);
free_list = NULL;
}
[...]
while (TRUE);
{
g_main_context_iteration (NULL, TRUE);
free_allocated_memory();
}
]|
This works from an application, however, if you want to do the same
thing from a library, it gets more difficult, since you no longer
control the main loop. You might think you can simply use an idle
function to make the call to free_allocated_memory(), but that
doesn't work, since the idle function could be called from a
recursive callback. This can be fixed by using g_main_depth()
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
gpointer
allocate_memory (gsize size)
{
FreeListBlock *block = g_new (FreeListBlock, 1);
block-&gt;mem = g_malloc (size);
block-&gt;depth = g_main_depth ();
free_list = g_list_prepend (free_list, block);
return block-&gt;mem;
}
void
free_allocated_memory (void)
{
GList *l;
int depth = g_main_depth ();
for (l = free_list; l; );
{
GList *next = l-&gt;next;
FreeListBlock *block = l-&gt;data;
if (block-&gt;depth &gt; depth)
{
g_free (block-&gt;mem);
g_free (block);
free_list = g_list_delete_link (free_list, l);
}
l = next;
}
}
]|
There is a temptation to use g_main_depth() to solve
problems with reentrancy. For instance, while waiting for data
to be received from the network in response to a menu item,
the menu item might be selected again. It might seem that
one could make the menu item's callback return immediately
and do nothing if g_main_depth() returns a value greater than 1.
However, this should be avoided since the user then sees selecting
the menu item do nothing. Furthermore, you'll find yourself adding
these checks all over your code, since there are doubtless many,
many things that the user could do. Instead, you can use the
following techniques:
1. Use gtk_widget_set_sensitive() or modal dialogs to prevent
the user from interacting with elements while the main
loop is recursing.
2. Avoid main loop recursion in situations where you can't handle
arbitrary callbacks. Instead, structure your code so that you
simply return to the main loop and then get called again when
there is more work to do.</doc>

<docsection name="markup">
<doc xml:space="preserve">The "GMarkup" parser is intended to parse a simple markup format
that's a subset of XML. This is a small, efficient, easy-to-use
parser. It should not be used if you expect to interoperate with
other applications generating full-scale XML, and must not be used if you
expect to parse untrusted input. However, it's very
useful for application data files, config files, etc. where you
know your application will be the only one writing the file.
Full-scale XML parsers should be able to parse the subset used by
GMarkup, so you can easily migrate to full-scale XML at a later
time if the need arises.
GMarkup is not guaranteed to signal an error on all invalid XML;
the parser may accept documents that an XML parser would not.
However, XML documents which are not well-formed (which is a
weaker condition than being valid. See the
[XML specification](http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/)
for definitions of these terms.) are not considered valid GMarkup
documents.
Simplifications to XML include:
- Only UTF-8 encoding is allowed
- No user-defined entities
- Processing instructions, comments and the doctype declaration
are "passed through" but are not interpreted in any way
- No DTD or validation
The markup format does support:
- Elements
- Attributes
- 5 standard entities: &amp;amp; &amp;lt; &amp;gt; &amp;quot; &amp;apos;
- Character references
- Sections marked as CDATA</doc>

This utility function is not required to write a parser but can save

The @element_name, @attribute_names, @attribute_values and @error
parameters passed to the start_element callback should be passed
unmodified to this function.
Following these arguments is a list of "supported" attributes to collect.
It is an error to specify multiple attributes with the same name. If any
attribute not in the list appears in the @attribute_names array then an

The #GMarkupCollectType field allows specifying the type of collection

The attribute name is simply the name of the attribute to collect.
The pointer should be of the appropriate type (see the descriptions

attribute is to be allowed but ignored.
This function deals with issuing errors for missing attributes

<doc xml:space="preserve">These functions provide support for allocating and freeing memory.
If any call to allocate memory using functions g_new(), g_new0(), g_renew(),
g_malloc(), g_malloc0(), g_malloc0_n(), g_realloc(), and g_realloc_n()
fails, the application is terminated. This also means that there is no
need to check if the call succeeded. On the other hand, the `g_try_...()` family
of functions returns %NULL on failure that can be used as a check
for unsuccessful memory allocation. The application is not terminated
in this case.
As all GLib functions and data structures use `g_malloc()` internally, unless
otherwise specified, any allocation failure will result in the application
being terminated.
It's important to match g_malloc() (and wrappers such as g_new()) with
g_free(), g_slice_alloc() (and wrappers such as g_slice_new()) with
g_slice_free(), plain malloc() with free(), and (if you're using C++)
new with delete and new[] with delete[]. Otherwise bad things can happen,
since these allocators may use different memory pools (and new/delete call
constructors and destructors).
Since GLib 2.46 g_malloc() is hardcoded to always use the system malloc
implementation.</doc>
</docsection>
<docsection name="memory_slices">
<doc xml:space="preserve">Memory slices provide a space-efficient and multi-processing scalable
way to allocate equal-sized pieces of memory, just like the original
#GMemChunks (from GLib 2.8), while avoiding their excessive
memory-waste, scalability and performance problems.
To achieve these goals, the slice allocator uses a sophisticated,
layered design that has been inspired by Bonwick's slab allocator
([Bonwick94](http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/bonwick94slab.html)
Jeff Bonwick, The slab allocator: An object-caching kernel
memory allocator. USENIX 1994, and
[Bonwick01](http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/bonwick01magazines.html)
Bonwick and Jonathan Adams, Magazines and vmem: Extending the
slab allocator to many cpu's and arbitrary resources. USENIX 2001)
It uses posix_memalign() to optimize allocations of many equally-sized
chunks, and has per-thread free lists (the so-called magazine layer)
to quickly satisfy allocation requests of already known structure sizes.
This is accompanied by extra caching logic to keep freed memory around
for some time before returning it to the system. Memory that is unused
due to alignment constraints is used for cache colorization (random
distribution of chunk addresses) to improve CPU cache utilization. The
caching layer of the slice allocator adapts itself to high lock contention
to improve scalability.
The slice allocator can allocate blocks as small as two pointers, and
unlike malloc(), it does not reserve extra space per block. For large block
sizes, g_slice_new() and g_slice_alloc() will automatically delegate to the
system malloc() implementation. For newly written code it is recommended
to use the new `g_slice` API instead of g_malloc() and
friends, as long as objects are not resized during their lifetime and the
object size used at allocation time is still available when freeing.
Here is an example for using the slice allocator:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
gchar *mem[10000];
gint i;
// Allocate 10000 blocks.
for (i = 0; i &lt; 10000; i++)
{
mem[i] = g_slice_alloc (50);
// Fill in the memory with some junk.
for (j = 0; j &lt; 50; j++)
mem[i][j] = i * j;
}
// Now free all of the blocks.
for (i = 0; i &lt; 10000; i++)
g_slice_free1 (50, mem[i]);
]|
And here is an example for using the using the slice allocator
with data structures:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
GRealArray *array;
// Allocate one block, using the g_slice_new() macro.
array = g_slice_new (GRealArray);
// We can now use array just like a normal pointer to a structure.
array-&gt;data = NULL;
array-&gt;len = 0;
array-&gt;alloc = 0;
array-&gt;zero_terminated = (zero_terminated ? 1 : 0);
array-&gt;clear = (clear ? 1 : 0);
array-&gt;elt_size = elt_size;
// We can free the block, so it can be reused.
g_slice_free (GRealArray, array);
]|</doc>

<docsection name="messages">
<doc xml:space="preserve">These functions provide support for outputting messages.
The g_return family of macros (g_return_if_fail(),
g_return_val_if_fail(), g_return_if_reached(),
g_return_val_if_reached()) should only be used for programming
errors, a typical use case is checking for invalid parameters at
the beginning of a public function. They should not be used if
you just mean "if (error) return", they should only be used if
you mean "if (bug in program) return". The program behavior is
generally considered undefined after one of these checks fails.
They are not intended for normal control flow, only to give a
perhaps-helpful warning before giving up.
Structured logging output is supported using g_log_structured(). This differs
from the traditional g_log() API in that log messages are handled as a
collection of key&#x2013;value pairs representing individual pieces of information,
rather than as a single string containing all the information in an arbitrary
format.
The convenience macros g_info(), g_message(), g_debug(), g_warning() and g_error()
will use the traditional g_log() API unless you define the symbol
%G_LOG_USE_STRUCTURED before including `glib.h`. But note that even messages
logged through the traditional g_log() API are ultimatively passed to
g_log_structured(), so that all log messages end up in same destination.
If %G_LOG_USE_STRUCTURED is defined, g_test_expect_message() will become
ineffective for the wrapper macros g_warning() and friends (see
[Testing for Messages][testing-for-messages]).
The support for structured logging was motivated by the following needs (some
of which were supported previously; others weren&#x2019;t):
* Support for multiple logging levels.
* Structured log support with the ability to add `MESSAGE_ID`s (see
g_log_structured()).
* Moving the responsibility for filtering log messages from the program to
the log viewer &#x2014; instead of libraries and programs installing log handlers
(with g_log_set_handler()) which filter messages before output, all log
messages are outputted, and the log viewer program (such as `journalctl`)
must filter them. This is based on the idea that bugs are sometimes hard
to reproduce, so it is better to log everything possible and then use
tools to analyse the logs than it is to not be able to reproduce a bug to
get additional log data. Code which uses logging in performance-critical
sections should compile out the g_log_structured() calls in
release builds, and compile them in in debugging builds.
* A single writer function which handles all log messages in a process, from
all libraries and program code; rather than multiple log handlers with
poorly defined interactions between them. This allows a program to easily
change its logging policy by changing the writer function, for example to
log to an additional location or to change what logging output fallbacks
are used. The log writer functions provided by GLib are exposed publicly
so they can be used from programs&#x2019; log writers. This allows log writer
policy and implementation to be kept separate.
* If a library wants to add standard information to all of its log messages
(such as library state) or to redact private data (such as passwords or
network credentials), it should use a wrapper function around its
g_log_structured() calls or implement that in the single log writer
function.
* If a program wants to pass context data from a g_log_structured() call to
its log writer function so that, for example, it can use the correct
server connection to submit logs to, that user data can be passed as a
zero-length #GLogField to g_log_structured_array().
* Color output needed to be supported on the terminal, to make reading
through logs easier.
## Using Structured Logging ## {#using-structured-logging}
To use structured logging (rather than the old-style logging), either use
the g_log_structured() and g_log_structured_array() functions; or define
`G_LOG_USE_STRUCTURED` before including any GLib header, and use the
g_message(), g_debug(), g_error() (etc.) macros.
You do not need to define `G_LOG_USE_STRUCTURED` to use g_log_structured(),
but it is a good idea to avoid confusion.
## Log Domains ## {#log-domains}
Log domains may be used to broadly split up the origins of log messages.
Typically, there are one or a few log domains per application or library.
%G_LOG_DOMAIN should be used to define the default log domain for the current
compilation unit &#x2014; it is typically defined at the top of a source file, or in
the preprocessor flags for a group of source files.
Log domains must be unique, and it is recommended that they are the
application or library name, optionally followed by a hyphen and a sub-domain
name. For example, `bloatpad` or `bloatpad-io`.
## Debug Message Output ## {#debug-message-output}
The default log functions (g_log_default_handler() for the old-style API and
g_log_writer_default() for the structured API) both drop debug and
informational messages by default, unless the log domains of those messages
are listed in the `G_MESSAGES_DEBUG` environment variable (or it is set to
`all`).
It is recommended that custom log writer functions re-use the
`G_MESSAGES_DEBUG` environment variable, rather than inventing a custom one,
so that developers can re-use the same debugging techniques and tools across
projects.
## Testing for Messages ## {#testing-for-messages}
With the old g_log() API, g_test_expect_message() and
g_test_assert_expected_messages() could be used in simple cases to check
whether some code under test had emitted a given log message. These
functions have been deprecated with the structured logging API, for several
reasons:
* They relied on an internal queue which was too inflexible for many use
cases, where messages might be emitted in several orders, some
messages might not be emitted deterministically, or messages might be
emitted by unrelated log domains.
* They do not support structured log fields.
* Examining the log output of code is a bad approach to testing it, and
while it might be necessary for legacy code which uses g_log(), it should
be avoided for new code using g_log_structured().
They will continue to work as before if g_log() is in use (and
%G_LOG_USE_STRUCTURED is not defined). They will do nothing if used with the
structured logging API.
Examining the log output of code is discouraged: libraries should not emit to
`stderr` during defined behaviour, and hence this should not be tested. If
the log emissions of a library during undefined behaviour need to be tested,
they should be limited to asserting that the library aborts and prints a
suitable error message before aborting. This should be done with
g_test_trap_assert_stderr().
If it is really necessary to test the structured log messages emitted by a
particular piece of code &#x2013; and the code cannot be restructured to be more
suitable to more conventional unit testing &#x2013; you should write a custom log
writer function (see g_log_set_writer_func()) which appends all log messages
to a queue. When you want to check the log messages, examine and clear the
queue, ignoring irrelevant log messages (for example, from log domains other
than the one under test).</doc>

<docsection name="option">
<doc xml:space="preserve">The GOption commandline parser is intended to be a simpler replacement
for the popt library. It supports short and long commandline options,
as shown in the following example:
`testtreemodel -r 1 --max-size 20 --rand --display=:1.0 -vb -- file1 file2`
The example demonstrates a number of features of the GOption
commandline parser:
- Options can be single letters, prefixed by a single dash.
- Multiple short options can be grouped behind a single dash.
- Long options are prefixed by two consecutive dashes.
- Options can have an extra argument, which can be a number, a string or
a filename. For long options, the extra argument can be appended with
an equals sign after the option name, which is useful if the extra
argument starts with a dash, which would otherwise cause it to be
interpreted as another option.
- Non-option arguments are returned to the application as rest arguments.
- An argument consisting solely of two dashes turns off further parsing,
any remaining arguments (even those starting with a dash) are returned
to the application as rest arguments.
Another important feature of GOption is that it can automatically
generate nicely formatted help output. Unless it is explicitly turned
off with g_option_context_set_help_enabled(), GOption will recognize
the `--help`, `-?`, `--help-all` and `--help-groupname` options
(where `groupname` is the name of a #GOptionGroup) and write a text
similar to the one shown in the following example to stdout.
|[
Usage:
testtreemodel [OPTION...] - test tree model performance
Help Options:
-h, --help Show help options
--help-all Show all help options
--help-gtk Show GTK+ Options
Application Options:
-r, --repeats=N Average over N repetitions
-m, --max-size=M Test up to 2^M items
--display=DISPLAY X display to use
-v, --verbose Be verbose
-b, --beep Beep when done
--rand Randomize the data
]|
GOption groups options in #GOptionGroups, which makes it easy to
incorporate options from multiple sources. The intended use for this is
to let applications collect option groups from the libraries it uses,
add them to their #GOptionContext, and parse all options by a single call
to g_option_context_parse(). See gtk_get_option_group() for an example.
If an option is declared to be of type string or filename, GOption takes
care of converting it to the right encoding; strings are returned in
UTF-8, filenames are returned in the GLib filename encoding. Note that
this only works if setlocale() has been called before
g_option_context_parse().
Here is a complete example of setting up GOption to parse the example
commandline above and produce the example help output.

}
]|
On UNIX systems, the argv that is passed to main() has no particular
encoding, even to the extent that different parts of it may have
different encodings. In general, normal arguments and flags will be
in the current locale and filenames should be considered to be opaque
byte strings. Proper use of %G_OPTION_ARG_FILENAME vs
%G_OPTION_ARG_STRING is therefore important.
Note that on Windows, filenames do have an encoding, but using
#GOptionContext with the argv as passed to main() will result in a
program that can only accept commandline arguments with characters
from the system codepage. This can cause problems when attempting to
deal with filenames containing Unicode characters that fall outside
of the codepage.
A solution to this is to use g_win32_get_command_line() and
g_option_context_parse_strv() which will properly handle full Unicode
filenames. If you are using #GApplication, this is done
automatically for you.
The following example shows how you can use #GOptionContext directly
in order to correctly deal with Unicode filenames on Windows:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
GError *error = NULL;
GOptionContext *context;
gchar **args;
#ifdef G_OS_WIN32
args = g_win32_get_command_line ();
#else
args = g_strdupv (argv);
#endif
// set up context
if (!g_option_context_parse_strv (context, &amp;args, &amp;error))
{
// error happened
}
...
g_strfreev (args);
...
}

<function name="path_is_absolute" c:identifier="g_path_is_absolute">
<doc xml:space="preserve">Returns %TRUE if the given @file_name is an absolute file name.
Note that this is a somewhat vague concept on Windows.
On POSIX systems, an absolute file name is well-defined. It always
starts from the single root directory. For example "/usr/local".
On Windows, the concepts of current drive and drive-specific
current directory introduce vagueness. This function interprets as
an absolute file name one that either begins with a directory
separator such as "\Users\tml" or begins with the root on a drive,
for example "C:\Windows". The first case also includes UNC paths
such as "\\\\myserver\docs\foo". In all cases, either slashes or
backslashes are accepted.
Note that a file name relative to the current drive root does not
truly specify a file uniquely over time and across processes, as
the current drive is a per-process value and can be changed.
File names relative the current directory on some specific drive,
such as "D:foo/bar", are not interpreted as absolute by this
function, but they obviously are not relative to the normal current
directory as returned by getcwd() or g_get_current_dir()
either. Such paths should be avoided, or need to be handled using
Windows-specific code.</doc>

Note that, if the user code will (possibly) match a string against a
multitude of patterns containing wildcards, chances are high that
some patterns will require a reversed string. In this case, it's
more efficient to provide the reversed string to avoid multiple
constructions thereof in the various calls to g_pattern_match().
Note also that the reverse of a UTF-8 encoded string can in general
not be obtained by g_strreverse(). This works only if the string
does not contain any multibyte characters. GLib offers the
g_utf8_strreverse() function to reverse UTF-8 encoded strings.</doc>

<doc xml:space="preserve">The g_pattern_match* functions match a string
against a pattern containing '*' and '?' wildcards with similar

Note that in contrast to glob(), the '/' character can be matched by
the wildcards, there are no '[...]' character ranges and '*' and '?'
can not be escaped to include them literally in a pattern.
When multiple strings must be matched against the same pattern, it
is better to compile the pattern to a #GPatternSpec using
g_pattern_spec_new() and use g_pattern_match_string() instead of
g_pattern_match_simple(). This avoids the overhead of repeated
pattern compilation.</doc>

<docsection name="quarks">
<doc xml:space="preserve">Quarks are associations between strings and integer identifiers.
Given either the string or the #GQuark identifier it is possible to
retrieve the other.
Quarks are used for both [datasets][glib-Datasets] and
[keyed data lists][glib-Keyed-Data-Lists].
To create a new quark from a string, use g_quark_from_string() or
g_quark_from_static_string().
To find the string corresponding to a given #GQuark, use
g_quark_to_string().
To find the #GQuark corresponding to a given string, use
g_quark_try_string().
Another use for the string pool maintained for the quark functions
is string interning, using g_intern_string() or
g_intern_static_string(). An interned string is a canonical
representation for a string. One important advantage of interned
strings is that they can be compared for equality by a simple
pointer comparison, rather than using strcmp().</doc>

<docsection name="queue">
<doc xml:space="preserve">The #GQueue structure and its associated functions provide a standard
queue data structure. Internally, GQueue uses the same data structure
as #GList to store elements with the same complexity over

The data contained in each element can be either integer values, by
using one of the [Type Conversion Macros][glib-Type-Conversion-Macros],
or simply pointers to any type of data.
As with all other GLib data structures, #GQueue is not thread-safe.
For a thread-safe queue, use #GAsyncQueue.
To create a new GQueue, use g_queue_new().
To initialize a statically-allocated GQueue, use #G_QUEUE_INIT or
g_queue_init().
To add elements, use g_queue_push_head(), g_queue_push_head_link(),
g_queue_push_tail() and g_queue_push_tail_link().
To remove elements, use g_queue_pop_head() and g_queue_pop_tail().

<docsection name="random_numbers">
<doc xml:space="preserve">The following functions allow you to use a portable, fast and good
pseudo-random number generator (PRNG).
Do not use this API for cryptographic purposes such as key
generation, nonces, salts or one-time pads.
This PRNG is suitable for non-cryptographic use such as in games
(shuffling a card deck, generating levels), generating data for
a test suite, etc. If you need random data for cryptographic
purposes, it is recommended to use platform-specific APIs such
as `/dev/random` on UNIX, or CryptGenRandom() on Windows.
GRand uses the Mersenne Twister PRNG, which was originally
developed by Makoto Matsumoto and Takuji Nishimura. Further
information can be found at
[this page](http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/emt.html).
If you just need a random number, you simply call the g_random_*
functions, which will create a globally used #GRand and use the
according g_rand_* functions internally. Whenever you need a
stream of reproducible random numbers, you better create a
#GRand yourself and use the g_rand_* functions directly, which
will also be slightly faster. Initializing a #GRand with a
certain seed will produce exactly the same series of random
numbers on all platforms. This can thus be used as a seed for
e.g. games.
The g_rand*_range functions will return high quality equally
distributed random numbers, whereas for example the
`(g_random_int()%max)` approach often
doesn't yield equally distributed numbers.
GLib changed the seeding algorithm for the pseudo-random number
generator Mersenne Twister, as used by #GRand. This was necessary,
because some seeds would yield very bad pseudo-random streams.
Also the pseudo-random integers generated by g_rand*_int_range()
will have a slightly better equal distribution with the new
version of GLib.
The original seeding and generation algorithms, as found in
GLib 2.0.x, can be used instead of the new ones by setting the
environment variable `G_RANDOM_VERSION` to the value of '2.0'.
Use the GLib-2.0 algorithms only if you have sequences of numbers
generated with Glib-2.0 that you need to reproduce exactly.</doc>

<docsection name="rcbox">
<doc xml:space="preserve">A "reference counted box", or "RcBox", is an opaque wrapper data type
that is guaranteed to be as big as the size of a given data type, and
which augments the given data type with reference counting semantics
for its memory management.
RcBox is useful if you have a plain old data type, like a structure
typically placed on the stack, and you wish to provide additional API
to use it on the heap; or if you want to implement a new type to be
passed around by reference without necessarily implementing copy/free
semantics or your own reference counting.
The typical use is:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
typedef struct {
char *name;
char *address;
char *city;
char *state;
int age;
} Person;
Person *
person_new (void)
{
return g_rc_box_new0 (Person);
}
]|
Every time you wish to acquire a reference on the memory, you should
call g_rc_box_acquire(); similarly, when you wish to release a reference
you should call g_rc_box_release():
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
// Add a Person to the Database; the Database acquires ownership
// of the Person instance
void
add_person_to_database (Database *db, Person *p)
{
db-&gt;persons = g_list_prepend (db-&gt;persons, g_rc_box_acquire (p));
}
// Removes a Person from the Database; the reference acquired by
// add_person_to_database() is released here
void
remove_person_from_database (Database *db, Person *p)
{
db-&gt;persons = g_list_remove (db-&gt;persons, p);
g_rc_box_release (p);
}
]|
If you have additional memory allocated inside the structure, you can
use g_rc_box_release_full(), which takes a function pointer, which
will be called if the reference released was the last:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
void
person_clear (Person *p)
{
g_free (p-&gt;name);
g_free (p-&gt;address);
g_free (p-&gt;city);
g_free (p-&gt;state);
}
void
remove_person_from_database (Database *db, Person *p)
{
db-&gt;persons = g_list_remove (db-&gt;persons, p);
g_rc_box_release_full (p, (GDestroyNotify) person_clear);
}
]|
If you wish to transfer the ownership of a reference counted data
type without increasing the reference count, you can use g_steal_pointer():
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
Person *p = g_rc_box_new (Person);
// fill_person_details() is defined elsewhere
fill_person_details (p);
// add_person_to_database_no_ref() is defined elsewhere; it adds
// a Person to the Database without taking a reference
add_person_to_database_no_ref (db, g_steal_pointer (&amp;p));
]|
## Thread safety
The reference counting operations on data allocated using g_rc_box_alloc(),
g_rc_box_new(), and g_rc_box_dup() are not thread safe; it is your code's
responsibility to ensure that references are acquired are released on the
same thread.
If you need thread safe reference counting, see the [atomic reference counted
data][arcbox] API.
## Automatic pointer clean up
If you want to add g_autoptr() support to your plain old data type through
reference counting, you can use the G_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CLEANUP_FUNC() and
g_rc_box_release():
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
G_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CLEANUP_FUNC (MyDataStruct, g_rc_box_release)
]|
If you need to clear the contents of the data, you will need to use an
ancillary function that calls g_rc_box_release_full():
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
static void
my_data_struct_release (MyDataStruct *data)
{
// my_data_struct_clear() is defined elsewhere
g_rc_box_release_full (data, (GDestroyNotify) my_data_struct_clear);
}
G_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CLEANUP_FUNC (MyDataStruct, my_data_struct_release)

instead of copying the string among callers; when the last reference on
the string is released, the resources allocated for it are freed.
Typically, reference counted strings can be used when parsing data from
files and storing them into data structures that are passed to various
callers:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
PersonDetails *
person_details_from_data (const char *data)
{
// Use g_autoptr() to simplify error cases
g_autoptr(GRefString) full_name = NULL;
g_autoptr(GRefString) address = NULL;
g_autoptr(GRefString) city = NULL;
g_autoptr(GRefString) state = NULL;
g_autoptr(GRefString) zip_code = NULL;
// parse_person_details() is defined elsewhere; returns refcounted strings
if (!parse_person_details (data, &amp;full_name, &amp;address, &amp;city, &amp;state, &amp;zip_code))
return NULL;
if (!validate_zip_code (zip_code))
return NULL;
// add_address_to_cache() and add_full_name_to_cache() are defined
// elsewhere; they add strings to various caches, using refcounted
// strings to avoid copying data over and over again
add_address_to_cache (address, city, state, zip_code);
add_full_name_to_cache (full_name);
// person_details_new() is defined elsewhere; it takes a reference
// on each string
PersonDetails *res = person_details_new (full_name,
address,
city,
state,
zip_code);
return res;
}
]|
In the example above, we have multiple functions taking the same strings
for different uses; with typical C strings, we'd have to copy the strings
every time the life time rules of the data differ from the life time of
the string parsed from the original buffer. With reference counted strings,
each caller can take a reference on the data, and keep it as long as it
needs to own the string.
Reference counted strings can also be "interned" inside a global table
owned by GLib; while an interned string has at least a reference, creating
a new interned reference counted string with the same contents will return
a reference to the existing string instead of creating a new reference
counted string instance. Once the string loses its last reference, it will
be automatically removed from the global interned strings table.</doc>

This function is equivalent to g_regex_split() but it does

As a special case, the result of splitting the empty string ""
is an empty vector, not a vector containing a single string.
The reason for this special case is that being able to represent
an empty vector is typically more useful than consistent handling
of empty elements. If you do need to represent empty elements,
you'll need to check for the empty string before calling this
function.
A pattern that can match empty strings splits @string into
separate characters wherever it matches the empty string between
characters. For example splitting "ab c" using as a separator
"\s*", you will get "a", "b" and "c".</doc>

<docsection name="sequence">
<doc xml:space="preserve">The #GSequence data structure has the API of a list, but is
implemented internally with a balanced binary tree. This means that
most of the operations (access, search, insertion, deletion, ...) on
#GSequence are O(log(n)) in average and O(n) in worst case for time
complexity. But, note that maintaining a balanced sorted list of n
elements is done in time O(n log(n)).
The data contained in each element can be either integer values, by using
of the [Type Conversion Macros][glib-Type-Conversion-Macros], or simply
pointers to any type of data.
A #GSequence is accessed through "iterators", represented by a
#GSequenceIter. An iterator represents a position between two
elements of the sequence. For example, the "begin" iterator
represents the gap immediately before the first element of the
sequence, and the "end" iterator represents the gap immediately
after the last element. In an empty sequence, the begin and end
iterators are the same.
Some methods on #GSequence operate on ranges of items. For example
g_sequence_foreach_range() will call a user-specified function on
each element with the given range. The range is delimited by the
gaps represented by the passed-in iterators, so if you pass in the
begin and end iterators, the range in question is the entire
sequence.
The function g_sequence_get() is used with an iterator to access the
element immediately following the gap that the iterator represents.
The iterator is said to "point" to that element.
Iterators are stable across most operations on a #GSequence. For
example an iterator pointing to some element of a sequence will
continue to point to that element even after the sequence is sorted.
Even moving an element to another sequence using for example
g_sequence_move_range() will not invalidate the iterators pointing
to it. The only operation that will invalidate an iterator is when
the element it points to is removed from any sequence.
To sort the data, either use g_sequence_insert_sorted() or
g_sequence_insert_sorted_iter() to add data to the #GSequence or, if
you want to add a large amount of data, it is more efficient to call
g_sequence_sort() or g_sequence_sort_iter() after doing unsorted
insertions.</doc>

<function name="spawn_async_with_pipes" c:identifier="g_spawn_async_with_pipes" throws="1">
<doc xml:space="preserve">Executes a child program asynchronously (your program will not
block waiting for the child to exit). The child program is
specified by the only argument that must be provided, @argv.
@argv should be a %NULL-terminated array of strings, to be passed
as the argument vector for the child. The first string in @argv
is of course the name of the program to execute. By default, the
name of the program must be a full path. If @flags contains the
%G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH flag, the `PATH` environment variable is
used to search for the executable. If @flags contains the
%G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH_FROM_ENVP flag, the `PATH` variable from
@envp is used to search for the executable. If both the
%G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH and %G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH_FROM_ENVP flags
are set, the `PATH` variable from @envp takes precedence over
the environment variable.
If the program name is not a full path and %G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH flag is not
used, then the program will be run from the current directory (or
@working_directory, if specified); this might be unexpected or even
dangerous in some cases when the current directory is world-writable.
On Windows, note that all the string or string vector arguments to
this function and the other g_spawn*() functions are in UTF-8, the
GLib file name encoding. Unicode characters that are not part of
the system codepage passed in these arguments will be correctly
available in the spawned program only if it uses wide character API
to retrieve its command line. For C programs built with Microsoft's
tools it is enough to make the program have a wmain() instead of
main(). wmain() has a wide character argument vector as parameter.
At least currently, mingw doesn't support wmain(), so if you use
mingw to develop the spawned program, it should call
g_win32_get_command_line() to get arguments in UTF-8.
On Windows the low-level child process creation API CreateProcess()
doesn't use argument vectors, but a command line. The C runtime
library's spawn*() family of functions (which g_spawn_async_with_pipes()
eventually calls) paste the argument vector elements together into
a command line, and the C runtime startup code does a corresponding
reconstruction of an argument vector from the command line, to be
passed to main(). Complications arise when you have argument vector
elements that contain spaces or double quotes. The `spawn*()` functions
don't do any quoting or escaping, but on the other hand the startup
code does do unquoting and unescaping in order to enable receiving
arguments with embedded spaces or double quotes. To work around this
asymmetry, g_spawn_async_with_pipes() will do quoting and escaping on
argument vector elements that need it before calling the C runtime
spawn() function.
The returned @child_pid on Windows is a handle to the child
process, not its identifier. Process handles and process
identifiers are different concepts on Windows.
@envp is a %NULL-terminated array of strings, where each string
has the form `KEY=VALUE`. This will become the child's environment.
If @envp is %NULL, the child inherits its parent's environment.
@flags should be the bitwise OR of any flags you want to affect the
function's behaviour. The %G_SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD means that the
child will not automatically be reaped; you must use a child watch
(g_child_watch_add()) to be notified about the death of the child process,
otherwise it will stay around as a zombie process until this process exits.
Eventually you must call g_spawn_close_pid() on the @child_pid, in order to
free resources which may be associated with the child process. (On Unix,
using a child watch is equivalent to calling waitpid() or handling
the %SIGCHLD signal manually. On Windows, calling g_spawn_close_pid()
is equivalent to calling CloseHandle() on the process handle returned
in @child_pid). See g_child_watch_add().
Open UNIX file descriptors marked as `FD_CLOEXEC` will be automatically
closed in the child process. %G_SPAWN_LEAVE_DESCRIPTORS_OPEN means that
other open file descriptors will be inherited by the child; otherwise all
descriptors except stdin/stdout/stderr will be closed before calling exec()
in the child. %G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH means that @argv[0] need not be an
absolute path, it will be looked for in the `PATH` environment
variable. %G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH_FROM_ENVP means need not be an
absolute path, it will be looked for in the `PATH` variable from
@envp. If both %G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH and %G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH_FROM_ENVP
are used, the value from @envp takes precedence over the environment.
%G_SPAWN_STDOUT_TO_DEV_NULL means that the child's standard output
will be discarded, instead of going to the same location as the parent's
standard output. If you use this flag, @standard_output must be %NULL.
%G_SPAWN_STDERR_TO_DEV_NULL means that the child's standard error
will be discarded, instead of going to the same location as the parent's
standard error. If you use this flag, @standard_error must be %NULL.
%G_SPAWN_CHILD_INHERITS_STDIN means that the child will inherit the parent's
standard input (by default, the child's standard input is attached to
`/dev/null`). If you use this flag, @standard_input must be %NULL.
%G_SPAWN_FILE_AND_ARGV_ZERO means that the first element of @argv is
the file to execute, while the remaining elements are the actual
argument vector to pass to the file. Normally g_spawn_async_with_pipes()
uses @argv[0] as the file to execute, and passes all of @argv to the child.
@child_setup and @user_data are a function and user data. On POSIX
platforms, the function is called in the child after GLib has
performed all the setup it plans to perform (including creating
pipes, closing file descriptors, etc.) but before calling exec().
That is, @child_setup is called just before calling exec() in the
child. Obviously actions taken in this function will only affect
the child, not the parent.
On Windows, there is no separate fork() and exec() functionality.
Child processes are created and run with a single API call,
CreateProcess(). There is no sensible thing @child_setup
could be used for on Windows so it is ignored and not called.
If non-%NULL, @child_pid will on Unix be filled with the child's
process ID. You can use the process ID to send signals to the child,
or to use g_child_watch_add() (or waitpid()) if you specified the
%G_SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD flag. On Windows, @child_pid will be
filled with a handle to the child process only if you specified the
%G_SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD flag. You can then access the child
process using the Win32 API, for example wait for its termination
with the WaitFor*() functions, or examine its exit code with
GetExitCodeProcess(). You should close the handle with CloseHandle()
or g_spawn_close_pid() when you no longer need it.
If non-%NULL, the @standard_input, @standard_output, @standard_error
locations will be filled with file descriptors for writing to the child's
standard input or reading from its standard output or standard error.
The caller of g_spawn_async_with_pipes() must close these file descriptors
when they are no longer in use. If these parameters are %NULL, the
corresponding pipe won't be created.
If @standard_input is %NULL, the child's standard input is attached to
`/dev/null` unless %G_SPAWN_CHILD_INHERITS_STDIN is set.
If @standard_error is NULL, the child's standard error goes to the same
location as the parent's standard error unless %G_SPAWN_STDERR_TO_DEV_NULL
is set.
If @standard_output is NULL, the child's standard output goes to the same
location as the parent's standard output unless %G_SPAWN_STDOUT_TO_DEV_NULL
is set.
@error can be %NULL to ignore errors, or non-%NULL to report errors.
If an error is set, the function returns %FALSE. Errors are reported
even if they occur in the child (for example if the executable in
@argv[0] is not found). Typically the `message` field of returned
errors should be displayed to users. Possible errors are those from
the #G_SPAWN_ERROR domain.
If an error occurs, @child_pid, @standard_input, @standard_output,
and @standard_error will not be filled with valid values.
If @child_pid is not %NULL and an error does not occur then the returned
process reference must be closed using g_spawn_close_pid().
On modern UNIX platforms, GLib can use an efficient process launching
codepath driven internally by posix_spawn(). This has the advantage of
avoiding the fork-time performance costs of cloning the parent process
address space, and avoiding associated memory overcommit checks that are
not relevant in the context of immediately executing a distinct process.
This optimized codepath will be used provided that the following conditions
are met:
1. %G_SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD is set
2. %G_SPAWN_LEAVE_DESCRIPTORS_OPEN is set
3. %G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH_FROM_ENVP is not set
4. @working_directory is %NULL
5. @child_setup is %NULL
6. The program is of a recognised binary format, or has a shebang. Otherwise, GLib will have to execute the program through the shell, which is not done using the optimized codepath.
If you are writing a GTK+ application, and the program you are spawning is a
graphical application too, then to ensure that the spawned program opens its
windows on the right screen, you may want to use #GdkAppLaunchContext,
#GAppLaunchContext, or set the %DISPLAY environment variable.</doc>

<function name="spawn_check_exit_status" c:identifier="g_spawn_check_exit_status" version="2.34" throws="1">
<doc xml:space="preserve">Set @error if @exit_status indicates the child exited abnormally
(e.g. with a nonzero exit code, or via a fatal signal).
The g_spawn_sync() and g_child_watch_add() family of APIs return an
exit status for subprocesses encoded in a platform-specific way.
On Unix, this is guaranteed to be in the same format waitpid() returns,
and on Windows it is guaranteed to be the result of GetExitCodeProcess().
Prior to the introduction of this function in GLib 2.34, interpreting
@exit_status required use of platform-specific APIs, which is problematic
for software using GLib as a cross-platform layer.
Additionally, many programs simply want to determine whether or not
the child exited successfully, and either propagate a #GError or
print a message to standard error. In that common case, this function
can be used. Note that the error message in @error will contain
human-readable information about the exit status.
The @domain and @code of @error have special semantics in the case
where the process has an "exit code", as opposed to being killed by
a signal. On Unix, this happens if WIFEXITED() would be true of
@exit_status. On Windows, it is always the case.
The special semantics are that the actual exit code will be the
code set in @error, and the domain will be %G_SPAWN_EXIT_ERROR.
This allows you to differentiate between different exit codes.
If the process was terminated by some means other than an exit
status, the domain will be %G_SPAWN_ERROR, and the code will be
%G_SPAWN_ERROR_FAILED.
This function just offers convenience; you can of course also check
the available platform via a macro such as %G_OS_UNIX, and use
WIFEXITED() and WEXITSTATUS() on @exit_status directly. Do not attempt
to scan or parse the error message string; it may be translated and/or
change in future versions of GLib.</doc>

On Windows, please note the implications of g_shell_parse_argv()
parsing @command_line. Parsing is done according to Unix shell rules, not
Windows command interpreter rules.
Space is a separator, and backslashes are
special. Thus you cannot simply pass a @command_line containing
canonical Windows paths, like "c:\\program files\\app\\app.exe", as
the backslashes will be eaten, and the space will act as a
separator. You need to enclose such paths with single quotes, like
"'c:\\program files\\app\\app.exe' 'e:\\folder\\argument.txt'".</doc>

<doc xml:space="preserve">Sets @pp to %NULL, returning the value that was there before.
Conceptually, this transfers the ownership of the pointer from the
referenced variable to the "caller" of the macro (ie: "steals" the
reference).
The return value will be properly typed, according to the type of
@pp.
This can be very useful when combined with g_autoptr() to prevent the
return value of a function from being automatically freed. Consider
the following example (which only works on GCC and clang):
|[
GObject *
create_object (void)
{
g_autoptr(GObject) obj = g_object_new (G_TYPE_OBJECT, NULL);
if (early_error_case)
return NULL;
return g_steal_pointer (&amp;obj);
}
]|
It can also be used in similar ways for 'out' parameters and is
particularly useful for dealing with optional out parameters:
|[
gboolean
get_object (GObject **obj_out)
{
g_autoptr(GObject) obj = g_object_new (G_TYPE_OBJECT, NULL);
if (early_error_case)
return FALSE;
if (obj_out)
*obj_out = g_steal_pointer (&amp;obj);
return TRUE;
}
]|
In the above example, the object will be automatically freed in the
early error case and also in the case that %NULL was given for
@obj_out.</doc>

This function calls g_str_tokenize_and_fold() on both

for @search_term but will be taken for @potential_hit according to
the value of @accept_alternates.
A hit occurs when each folded token in @search_term is a prefix of a
folded token from @potential_hit.
Depending on how you're performing the search, it will typically be
faster to call g_str_tokenize_and_fold() on each string in
your corpus and build an index on the returned folded tokens, then
call g_str_tokenize_and_fold() on the search term and
perform lookups into that index.
As some examples, searching for &#x2018;fred&#x2019; would match the potential hit
&#x2018;Smith, Fred&#x2019; and also &#x2018;Fr&#xE9;d&#xE9;ric&#x2019;. Searching for &#x2018;Fr&#xE9;d&#x2019; would match
&#x2018;Fr&#xE9;d&#xE9;ric&#x2019; but not &#x2018;Frederic&#x2019; (due to the one-directional nature of

<docsection name="string_utils">
<doc xml:space="preserve">This section describes a number of utility functions for creating,
duplicating, and manipulating strings.
Note that the functions g_printf(), g_fprintf(), g_sprintf(),
g_vprintf(), g_vfprintf(), g_vsprintf() and g_vasprintf()
are declared in the header `gprintf.h` which is not included in `glib.h`
(otherwise using `glib.h` would drag in `stdio.h`), so you'll have to
explicitly include `&lt;glib/gprintf.h&gt;` in order to use the GLib
printf() functions.
## String precision pitfalls # {#string-precision}
While you may use the printf() functions to format UTF-8 strings,
notice that the precision of a \%Ns parameter is interpreted
as the number of bytes, not characters to print. On top of that,
the GNU libc implementation of the printf() functions has the
"feature" that it checks that the string given for the \%Ns
parameter consists of a whole number of characters in the current
encoding. So, unless you are sure you are always going to be in an
UTF-8 locale or your know your text is restricted to ASCII, avoid
using \%Ns. If your intention is to format strings for a
certain number of columns, then \%Ns is not a correct solution
anyway, since it fails to take wide characters (see g_unichar_iswide())
into account.
Note also that there are various printf() parameters which are platform
dependent. GLib provides platform independent macros for these parameters
which should be used instead. A common example is %G_GUINT64_FORMAT, which
should be used instead of `%llu` or similar parameters for formatting
64-bit integers. These macros are all named `G_*_FORMAT`; see
[Basic Types][glib-Basic-Types].</doc>

<docsection name="strings">
<doc xml:space="preserve">A #GString is an object that handles the memory management of a C
string for you. The emphasis of #GString is on text, typically
UTF-8. Crucially, the "str" member of a #GString is guaranteed to
have a trailing nul character, and it is therefore always safe to
call functions such as strchr() or g_strdup() on it.
However, a #GString can also hold arbitrary binary data, because it
has a "len" member, which includes any possible embedded nul
characters in the data. Conceptually then, #GString is like a
#GByteArray with the addition of many convenience methods for text,
and a guaranteed nul terminator.</doc>

the comparison by calling toupper()/tolower(). These functions

impossible to handle things correctly from an internationalization

Thus g_strncasecmp() is broken if your string is guaranteed to be
ASCII, since it is locale-sensitive, and it's broken if your string
is localized, since it doesn't work on many encodings at all,
including UTF-8, EUC-JP, etc.
There are therefore two replacement techniques: g_ascii_strncasecmp(),
which only works on ASCII and is not locale-sensitive, and
g_utf8_casefold() followed by strcmp() on the resulting strings,

expected as a result of a single call. (The messages must appear in
the same order as the calls to g_test_expect_message().)
For example:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
// g_main_context_push_thread_default() should fail if the
// context is already owned by another thread.
g_test_expect_message (G_LOG_DOMAIN,
G_LOG_LEVEL_CRITICAL,
"assertion*acquired_context*failed");
g_main_context_push_thread_default (bad_context);
g_test_assert_expected_messages ();
]|
Note that you cannot use this to test g_error() messages, since
g_error() intentionally never returns even if the program doesn't
abort; use g_test_trap_subprocess() in this case.
If messages at %G_LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG are emitted, but not explicitly
expected via g_test_expect_message() then they will be ignored.</doc>

<doc xml:space="preserve">Initialize the GLib testing framework, e.g. by seeding the
test random number generator, the name for g_get_prgname()
and parsing test related command line args.
So far, the following arguments are understood:
- `-l`: List test cases available in a test executable.
- `--seed=SEED`: Provide a random seed to reproduce test
runs using random numbers.
- `--verbose`: Run tests verbosely.
- `-q`, `--quiet`: Run tests quietly.
- `-p PATH`: Execute all tests matching the given path.
- `-s PATH`: Skip all tests matching the given path.
This can also be used to force a test to run that would otherwise
be skipped (ie, a test whose name contains "/subprocess").
- `-m {perf|slow|thorough|quick|undefined|no-undefined}`: Execute tests according to these test modes:
`perf`: Performance tests, may take long and report results (off by default).
`slow`, `thorough`: Slow and thorough tests, may take quite long and maximize coverage
(off by default).
`quick`: Quick tests, should run really quickly and give good coverage (the default).
`undefined`: Tests for undefined behaviour, may provoke programming errors
under g_test_trap_subprocess() or g_test_expect_message() to check
that appropriate assertions or warnings are given (the default).
`no-undefined`: Avoid tests for undefined behaviour
- `--debug-log`: Debug test logging output.
Options which can be passed to @... are:
- `"no_g_set_prgname"`: Causes g_test_init() to not call g_set_prgname().
- %G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS: Creates a unique temporary directory for each
unit test and uses g_set_user_dirs() to set XDG directories to point into
that temporary directory for the duration of the unit test. See the
documentation for %G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS.
Since 2.58, if tests are compiled with `G_DISABLE_ASSERT` defined,
g_test_init() will print an error and exit. This is to prevent no-op tests
from being executed, as g_assert() is commonly (erroneously) used in unit
tests, and is a no-op when compiled with `G_DISABLE_ASSERT`. Ensure your
tests are compiled without `G_DISABLE_ASSERT` defined.</doc>

used to decide whether log messages which are counted

The use case here is that you are running a test case

messages. So you install a handler that compares the
domain and message to precisely not abort in such a case.
Note that the handler is reset at the beginning of
any test case, so you have to set it inside each test
function which needs the special behavior.
This handler has no effect on g_error messages.
This handler also has no effect on structured log messages (using
g_log_structured() or g_log_structured_array()). To change the fatal
behaviour for specific log messages, programs must install a custom log
writer function using g_log_set_writer_func().See

g_test_run_suite() or g_test_run() may only be called once in a
program.
In general, the tests and sub-suites within each suite are run in
the order in which they are defined. However, note that prior to
GLib 2.36, there was a bug in the `g_test_add_*`
functions which caused them to create multiple suites with the same
name, meaning that if you created tests "/foo/simple",
"/bar/simple", and "/foo/using-bar" in that order, they would get
run in that order (since g_test_run() would run the first "/foo"
suite, then the "/bar" suite, then the second "/foo" suite). As of
2.36, this bug is fixed, and adding the tests in that order would
result in a running order of "/foo/simple", "/foo/using-bar",
"/bar/simple". If this new ordering is sub-optimal (because it puts
more-complicated tests before simpler ones, making it harder to
figure out exactly what has failed), you can fix it by changing the
test paths to group tests by suite in a way that will result in the
desired running order. Eg, "/simple/foo", "/simple/bar",
"/complex/foo-using-bar".
However, you should never make the actual result of a test depend
on the order that tests are run in. If you need to ensure that some
particular code runs before or after a given test case, use
g_test_add(), which lets you specify setup and teardown functions.

You can use g_test_subprocess() to determine whether the test is in

@test_path can also be the name of the parent test, followed by

You can use methods such as g_test_trap_assert_passed(),
g_test_trap_assert_failed(), and g_test_trap_assert_stderr() to
check the results of the subprocess. (But note that
g_test_trap_assert_stdout() and g_test_trap_assert_stderr()

<doc xml:space="preserve">GLib provides a framework for writing and maintaining unit tests
in parallel to the code they are testing. The API is designed according
to established concepts found in the other test frameworks (JUnit, NUnit,
RUnit), which in turn is based on smalltalk unit testing concepts.
- Test case: Tests (test methods) are grouped together with their
fixture into test cases.
- Fixture: A test fixture consists of fixture data and setup and
teardown methods to establish the environment for the test
functions. We use fresh fixtures, i.e. fixtures are newly set
up and torn down around each test invocation to avoid dependencies
between tests.
- Test suite: Test cases can be grouped into test suites, to allow
subsets of the available tests to be run. Test suites can be
grouped into other test suites as well.
The API is designed to handle creation and registration of test suites
and test cases implicitly. A simple call like
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
g_test_add_func ("/misc/assertions", test_assertions);
]|
creates a test suite called "misc" with a single test case named
"assertions", which consists of running the test_assertions function.
In addition to the traditional g_assert_true(), the test framework provides
an extended set of assertions for comparisons: g_assert_cmpfloat(),
g_assert_cmpfloat_with_epsilon(), g_assert_cmpint(), g_assert_cmpuint(),
g_assert_cmphex(), g_assert_cmpstr(), g_assert_cmpmem() and
g_assert_cmpvariant(). The
advantage of these variants over plain g_assert_true() is that the assertion
messages can be more elaborate, and include the values of the compared
entities.
Note that g_assert() should not be used in unit tests, since it is a no-op
when compiling with `G_DISABLE_ASSERT`. Use g_assert() in production code,
and g_assert_true() in unit tests.
A full example of creating a test suite with two tests using fixtures:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;

### Integrating GTest in your project
If you are using the [Meson](http://mesonbuild.com) build system, you will
typically use the provided `test()` primitive to call the test binaries,
e.g.:
|[&lt;!-- language="plain" --&gt;
test(
'foo',
executable('foo', 'foo.c', dependencies: deps),
env: [
'G_TEST_SRCDIR=@0@'.format(meson.current_source_dir()),
'G_TEST_BUILDDIR=@0@'.format(meson.current_build_dir()),
],
)
test(
'bar',
executable('bar', 'bar.c', dependencies: deps),
env: [
'G_TEST_SRCDIR=@0@'.format(meson.current_source_dir()),
'G_TEST_BUILDDIR=@0@'.format(meson.current_build_dir()),
],
)
]|
If you are using Autotools, you're strongly encouraged to use the Automake
[TAP](https://testanything.org/) harness; GLib provides template files for
easily integrating with it:
- [glib-tap.mk](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/blob/glib-2-58/glib-tap.mk)
- [tap-test](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/blob/glib-2-58/tap-test)
- [tap-driver.sh](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/blob/glib-2-58/tap-driver.sh)
You can copy these files in your own project's root directory, and then
set up your `Makefile.am` file to reference them, for instance:
|[&lt;!-- language="plain" --&gt;
include $(top_srcdir)/glib-tap.mk
# test binaries
test_programs = \
foo \
bar
# data distributed in the tarball
dist_test_data = \
foo.data.txt \
bar.data.txt
# data not distributed in the tarball
test_data = \
blah.data.txt
]|
Make sure to distribute the TAP files, using something like the following
in your top-level `Makefile.am`:
|[&lt;!-- language="plain" --&gt;
EXTRA_DIST += \
tap-driver.sh \
tap-test
]|
`glib-tap.mk` will be distributed implicitly due to being included in a
`Makefile.am`. All three files should be added to version control.
If you don't have access to the Autotools TAP harness, you can use the
[gtester][gtester] and [gtester-report][gtester-report] tools, and use
the [glib.mk](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/blob/glib-2-58/glib.mk)
Automake template provided by GLib. Note, however, that since GLib 2.62,
[gtester][gtester] and [gtester-report][gtester-report] have been deprecated
in favour of using TAP. The `--tap` argument to tests is enabled by default
as of GLib 2.62.</doc>

<doc xml:space="preserve">Sometimes you wish to asynchronously fork out the execution of work
and continue working in your own thread. If that will happen often,
the overhead of starting and destroying a thread each time might be
too high. In such cases reusing already started threads seems like a
good idea. And it indeed is, but implementing this can be tedious
and error-prone.
Therefore GLib provides thread pools for your convenience. An added
advantage is, that the threads can be shared between the different
subsystems of your program, when they are using GLib.
To create a new thread pool, you use g_thread_pool_new().
It is destroyed by g_thread_pool_free().
If you want to execute a certain task within a thread pool,
you call g_thread_pool_push().
To get the current number of running threads you call
g_thread_pool_get_num_threads(). To get the number of still
unprocessed tasks you call g_thread_pool_unprocessed(). To control
the maximal number of threads for a thread pool, you use
g_thread_pool_get_max_threads() and g_thread_pool_set_max_threads().
Finally you can control the number of unused threads, that are kept
alive by GLib for future use. The current number can be fetched with
g_thread_pool_get_num_unused_threads(). The maximal number can be
controlled by g_thread_pool_get_max_unused_threads() and
g_thread_pool_set_max_unused_threads(). All currently unused threads

<docsection name="threads">
<doc xml:space="preserve">Threads act almost like processes, but unlike processes all threads
of one process share the same memory. This is good, as it provides
easy communication between the involved threads via this shared
memory, and it is bad, because strange things (so called
"Heisenbugs") might happen if the program is not carefully designed.
In particular, due to the concurrent nature of threads, no
assumptions on the order of execution of code running in different
threads can be made, unless order is explicitly forced by the
programmer through synchronization primitives.
The aim of the thread-related functions in GLib is to provide a
portable means for writing multi-threaded software. There are
primitives for mutexes to protect the access to portions of memory
(#GMutex, #GRecMutex and #GRWLock). There is a facility to use
individual bits for locks (g_bit_lock()). There are primitives
for condition variables to allow synchronization of threads (#GCond).
There are primitives for thread-private data - data that every
thread has a private instance of (#GPrivate). There are facilities
for one-time initialization (#GOnce, g_once_init_enter()). Finally,
there are primitives to create and manage threads (#GThread).
The GLib threading system used to be initialized with g_thread_init().
This is no longer necessary. Since version 2.32, the GLib threading
system is automatically initialized at the start of your program,
and all thread-creation functions and synchronization primitives
are available right away.
Note that it is not safe to assume that your program has no threads
even if you don't call g_thread_new() yourself. GLib and GIO can
and will create threads for their own purposes in some cases, such
as when using g_unix_signal_source_new() or when using GDBus.
Originally, UNIX did not have threads, and therefore some traditional
UNIX APIs are problematic in threaded programs. Some notable examples
are
- C library functions that return data in statically allocated
buffers, such as strtok() or strerror(). For many of these,
there are thread-safe variants with a _r suffix, or you can
look at corresponding GLib APIs (like g_strsplit() or g_strerror()).
- The functions setenv() and unsetenv() manipulate the process
environment in a not thread-safe way, and may interfere with getenv()
calls in other threads. Note that getenv() calls may be hidden behind
other APIs. For example, GNU gettext() calls getenv() under the
covers. In general, it is best to treat the environment as readonly.
If you absolutely have to modify the environment, do it early in
main(), when no other threads are around yet.
- The setlocale() function changes the locale for the entire process,
affecting all threads. Temporary changes to the locale are often made
to change the behavior of string scanning or formatting functions
like scanf() or printf(). GLib offers a number of string APIs
(like g_ascii_formatd() or g_ascii_strtod()) that can often be
used as an alternative. Or you can use the uselocale() function
to change the locale only for the current thread.
- The fork() function only takes the calling thread into the child's
copy of the process image. If other threads were executing in critical
sections they could have left mutexes locked which could easily
cause deadlocks in the new child. For this reason, you should
call exit() or exec() as soon as possible in the child and only
make signal-safe library calls before that.
- The daemon() function uses fork() in a way contrary to what is
described above. It should not be used with GLib programs.
GLib itself is internally completely thread-safe (all global data is
automatically locked), but individual data structure instances are
not automatically locked for performance reasons. For example,
you must coordinate accesses to the same #GHashTable from multiple
threads. The two notable exceptions from this rule are #GMainLoop
and #GAsyncQueue, which are thread-safe and need no further
application-level locking to be accessed from multiple threads.
Most refcounting functions such as g_object_ref() are also thread-safe.
A common use for #GThreads is to move a long-running blocking operation out
of the main thread and into a worker thread. For GLib functions, such as
single GIO operations, this is not necessary, and complicates the code.
Instead, the `&#x2026;_async()` version of the function should be used from the main
thread, eliminating the need for locking and synchronisation between multiple
threads. If an operation does need to be moved to a worker thread, consider
using g_task_run_in_thread(), or a #GThreadPool. #GThreadPool is often a
better choice than #GThread, as it handles thread reuse and task queueing;
#GTask uses this internally.
However, if multiple blocking operations need to be performed in sequence,
and it is not possible to use #GTask for them, moving them to a worker thread
can clarify the code.</doc>

The function is called repeatedly until it returns %FALSE, at which
point the timeout is automatically destroyed and the function will
not be called again.
Unlike g_timeout_add(), this function operates at whole second granularity.
The initial starting point of the timer is determined by the implementation
and the implementation is expected to group multiple timers together so that
they fire all at the same time.
To allow this grouping, the @interval to the first timer is rounded
and can deviate up to one second from the specified interval.
Subsequent timer iterations will generally run at the specified interval.
Note that timeout functions may be delayed, due to the processing of other
event sources. Thus they should not be relied on for precise timing.
After each call to the timeout function, the time of the next
timeout is recalculated based on the current time and the given @interval
See [memory management of sources][mainloop-memory-management] for details
on how to handle the return value and memory management of @data.
If you want timing more precise than whole seconds, use g_timeout_add()
instead.
The grouping of timers to fire at the same time results in a more power
and CPU efficient behavior so if your timer is in multiples of seconds
and you don't require the first timer exactly one second from now, the
use of g_timeout_add_seconds() is preferred over g_timeout_add().

<docsection name="timezone">
<doc xml:space="preserve">#GTimeZone is a structure that represents a time zone, at no
particular point in time. It is refcounted and immutable.
Each time zone has an identifier (for example, &#x2018;Europe/London&#x2019;) which is
platform dependent. See g_time_zone_new() for information on the identifier
formats. The identifier of a time zone can be retrieved using
g_time_zone_get_identifier().
A time zone contains a number of intervals. Each interval has
an abbreviation to describe it (for example, &#x2018;PDT&#x2019;), an offset to UTC and a
flag indicating if the daylight savings time is in effect during that
interval. A time zone always has at least one interval &#x2014; interval 0. Note
that interval abbreviations are not the same as time zone identifiers
(apart from &#x2018;UTC&#x2019;), and cannot be passed to g_time_zone_new().
Every UTC time is contained within exactly one interval, but a given
local time may be contained within zero, one or two intervals (due to
incontinuities associated with daylight savings time).
An interval may refer to a specific period of time (eg: the duration
of daylight savings time during 2010) or it may refer to many periods
of time that share the same properties (eg: all periods of daylight
savings time). It is also possible (usually for political reasons)
that some properties (like the abbreviation) change between intervals
without other properties changing.

|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
int *ip = g_new (int, 1);
*ip = 42;
]|
But this is inconvenient, and it's annoying to have to free the
memory at some later time.
Pointers are always at least 32 bits in size (on all platforms GLib
intends to support). Thus you can store at least 32-bit integer values
in a pointer value. Naively, you might try this, but it's incorrect:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
gpointer p;
int i;
p = (void*) 42;
i = (int) p;
]|
Again, that example was not correct, don't copy it.
The problem is that on some systems you need to do this:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
gpointer p;
int i;
p = (void*) (long) 42;
i = (int) (long) p;
]|
The GLib macros GPOINTER_TO_INT(), GINT_TO_POINTER(), etc. take care
to do the right thing on every platform.
Warning: You may not store pointers in integers. This is not
portable in any way, shape or form. These macros only allow storing
integers in pointers, and only preserve 32 bits of the integer; values
outside the range of a 32-bit integer will be mangled.</doc>

<docsection name="types">
<doc xml:space="preserve">GLib defines a number of commonly used types, which can be divided
into several groups:
- New types which are not part of standard C (but are defined in
various C standard library header files) &#x2014; #gboolean, #gssize.
- Integer types which are guaranteed to be the same size across
all platforms &#x2014; #gint8, #guint8, #gint16, #guint16, #gint32,
#guint32, #gint64, #guint64.
- Types which are easier to use than their standard C counterparts -
#gpointer, #gconstpointer, #guchar, #guint, #gushort, #gulong.
- Types which correspond exactly to standard C types, but are
included for completeness &#x2014; #gchar, #gint, #gshort, #glong,
#gfloat, #gdouble.
- Types which correspond exactly to standard C99 types, but are available
to use even if your compiler does not support C99 &#x2014; #gsize, #goffset,
#gintptr, #guintptr.
GLib also defines macros for the limits of some of the standard
integer and floating point types, as well as macros for suitable
printf() formats for these types.
Note that depending on the platform and build configuration, the format
macros might not be compatible with the system provided printf() function,
because GLib might use a different printf() implementation internally.
The format macros will always work with GLib API (like g_print()), and with
any C99 compatible printf() implementation.</doc>

You should be mindful of the fact that environment variable handling
in UNIX is not thread-safe, and your program may crash if one thread
calls g_unsetenv() while another thread is calling getenv(). (And note
that many functions, such as gettext(), call getenv() internally.) This
function is only safe to use at the very start of your program, before
creating any other threads (or creating objects that create worker
threads of their own).
If you need to set up the environment for a child process, you can
use g_get_environ() to get an environment array, modify that with
g_environ_setenv() and g_environ_unsetenv(), and then pass that
array directly to execvpe(), g_spawn_async(), or the like.</doc>

value. This method can be used to parse them into a hash table. When an
attribute has multiple occurrences, the last value is the final returned
value. If you need to handle repeated attributes differently, use
#GUriParamsIter.
The @params string is assumed to still be `%`-encoded, but the returned
values will be fully decoded. (Thus it is possible that the returned values
may contain `=` or @separators, if the value was encoded in the input.)
Invalid `%`-encoding is treated as with the %G_URI_FLAGS_PARSE_RELAXED
rules for g_uri_parse(). (However, if @params is the path or query string
from a #GUri that was parsed without %G_URI_FLAGS_PARSE_RELAXED and
%G_URI_FLAGS_ENCODED, then you already know that it does not contain any
invalid encoding.)
%G_URI_PARAMS_WWW_FORM is handled as documented for g_uri_params_iter_init().
If %G_URI_PARAMS_CASE_INSENSITIVE is passed to @flags, attributes will be
compared case-insensitively, so a params string `attr=123&amp;Attr=456` will only
return a single attribute&#x2013;value pair, `Attr=456`. Case will be preserved in

before comparing two Unicode strings.
The normalization mode %G_NORMALIZE_DEFAULT only
standardizes differences that do not affect the
text content, such as the above-mentioned accent
representation. %G_NORMALIZE_ALL also standardizes
the "compatibility" characters in Unicode, such
as SUPERSCRIPT THREE to the standard forms
(in this case DIGIT THREE). Formatting information
may be lost but for most text operations such
characters should be considered the same.
%G_NORMALIZE_DEFAULT_COMPOSE and %G_NORMALIZE_ALL_COMPOSE
are like %G_NORMALIZE_DEFAULT and %G_NORMALIZE_ALL,
but returned a result with composed forms rather
than a maximally decomposed form. This is often
useful if you intend to convert the string to
a legacy encoding or pass it to a system with
less capable Unicode handling.</doc>

The memory at @limit will never be accessed and the parser behaves as
if the character at @limit is the nul terminator. This has the
effect of bounding @text.
If @endptr is non-%NULL then @text is permitted to contain data
following the value that this function parses and @endptr will be
updated to point to the first character past the end of the text
parsed by this function. If @endptr is %NULL and there is extra data
then an error is returned.
If @type is non-%NULL then the value will be parsed to have that
type. This may result in additional parse errors (in the case that
the parsed value doesn't fit the type) but may also result in fewer
errors (in the case that the type would have been ambiguous, such as
with empty arrays).
In the event that the parsing is successful, the resulting #GVariant
is returned. It is never floating, and must be freed with
g_variant_unref().
In case of any error, %NULL will be returned. If @error is non-%NULL
then it will be set to reflect the error that occurred.
Officially, the language understood by the parser is "any string
produced by g_variant_print()".
There may be implementation specific restrictions on deeply nested values,
which would result in a %G_VARIANT_PARSE_ERROR_RECURSION error. #GVariant is
guaranteed to handle nesting up to at least 64 levels.</doc>

<docsection name="warnings">
<doc xml:space="preserve">GLib defines several warning functions and assertions which can be used to
warn of programmer errors when calling functions, and print error messages
from command line programs.
The g_return_if_fail(), g_return_val_if_fail(), g_return_if_reached() and
g_return_val_if_reached() macros are intended as pre-condition assertions, to
be used at the top of a public function to check that the function&#x2019;s
arguments are acceptable. Any failure of such a pre-condition assertion is
considered a programming error on the part of the caller of the public API,
and the program is considered to be in an undefined state afterwards. They
are similar to the libc assert() function, but provide more context on
failures.
For example:
|[&lt;!-- language="C" --&gt;
gboolean
g_dtls_connection_shutdown (GDtlsConnection *conn,
gboolean shutdown_read,
gboolean shutdown_write,
GCancellable *cancellable,
GError **error)
{
// local variable declarations
g_return_val_if_fail (G_IS_DTLS_CONNECTION (conn), FALSE);
g_return_val_if_fail (cancellable == NULL || G_IS_CANCELLABLE (cancellable), FALSE);
g_return_val_if_fail (error == NULL || *error == NULL, FALSE);
// function body
return return_val;
}
]|
g_print(), g_printerr() and g_set_print_handler() are intended to be used for
output from command line applications, since they output to standard output
and standard error by default &#x2014; whereas functions like g_message() and
g_log() may be redirected to special purpose message windows, files, or the
system journal.</doc>
