*/
/**
* GClassInitFunc:
* @g_class: The #GTypeClass structure to initialize.
* @class_data: The @class_data member supplied via the #GTypeInfo structure.
*
* A callback function used by the type system to initialize the class
* of a specific type. This function should initialize all static class
* members.
* The initialization process of a class involves:
*
*
* 1 - Copying common members from the parent class over to the
* derived class structure.
*
*
* 2 - Zero initialization of the remaining members not copied
* over from the parent class.
*
*
* 3 - Invocation of the GBaseInitFunc() initializers of all parent
* types and the class' type.
*
*
* 4 - Invocation of the class' GClassInitFunc() initializer.
*
*
* Since derived classes are partially initialized through a memory copy
* of the parent class, the general rule is that GBaseInitFunc() and
* GBaseFinalizeFunc() should take care of necessary reinitialization
* and release of those class members that were introduced by the type
* that specified these GBaseInitFunc()/GBaseFinalizeFunc().
* GClassInitFunc() should only care about initializing static
* class members, while dynamic class members (such as allocated strings
* or reference counted resources) are better handled by a GBaseInitFunc()
* for this type, so proper initialization of the dynamic class members
* is performed for class initialization of derived types as well.
* An example may help to correspond the intend of the different class
* initializers:
*
* |[
* typedef struct {
* GObjectClass parent_class;
* gint static_integer;
* gchar *dynamic_string;
* } TypeAClass;
* static void
* type_a_base_class_init (TypeAClass *class)
* {
* class->dynamic_string = g_strdup ("some string");
* }
* static void
* type_a_base_class_finalize (TypeAClass *class)
* {
* g_free (class->dynamic_string);
* }
* static void
* type_a_class_init (TypeAClass *class)
* {
* class->static_integer = 42;
* }
*
* typedef struct {
* TypeAClass parent_class;
* gfloat static_float;
* GString *dynamic_gstring;
* } TypeBClass;
* static void
* type_b_base_class_init (TypeBClass *class)
* {
* class->dynamic_gstring = g_string_new ("some other string");
* }
* static void
* type_b_base_class_finalize (TypeBClass *class)
* {
* g_string_free (class->dynamic_gstring);
* }
* static void
* type_b_class_init (TypeBClass *class)
* {
* class->static_float = 3.14159265358979323846;
* }
* ]|
* Initialization of TypeBClass will first cause initialization of
* TypeAClass (derived classes reference their parent classes, see
* g_type_class_ref() on this).
* Initialization of TypeAClass roughly involves zero-initializing its fields,
* then calling its GBaseInitFunc() type_a_base_class_init() to allocate
* its dynamic members (dynamic_string), and finally calling its GClassInitFunc()
* type_a_class_init() to initialize its static members (static_integer).
* The first step in the initialization process of TypeBClass is then
* a plain memory copy of the contents of TypeAClass into TypeBClass and
* zero-initialization of the remaining fields in TypeBClass.
* The dynamic members of TypeAClass within TypeBClass now need
* reinitialization which is performed by calling type_a_base_class_init()
* with an argument of TypeBClass.
* After that, the GBaseInitFunc() of TypeBClass, type_b_base_class_init()
* is called to allocate the dynamic members of TypeBClass (dynamic_gstring),
* and finally the GClassInitFunc() of TypeBClass, type_b_class_init(),
* is called to complete the initialization process with the static members
* (static_float).
* Corresponding finalization counter parts to the GBaseInitFunc() functions
* have to be provided to release allocated resources at class finalization
* time.

/**
* GCond:
*
* 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.
*
*
*
* Using GCond to block a thread until a condition is satisfied
*
*
* gpointer current_data = NULL;
* GMutex data_mutex;
* GCond data_cond;
*
* void
* push_data (gpointer data)
* {
* g_mutex_lock (&data_mutex);
* current_data = data;
* g_cond_signal (&data_cond);
* g_mutex_unlock (&data_mutex);
* }
*
* gpointer
* pop_data (void)
* {
* gpointer data;
*
* g_mutex_lock (&data_mutex);
* while (!current_data)
* g_cond_wait (&data_cond, &data_mutex);
* data = current_data;
* current_data = NULL;
* g_mutex_unlock (&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 pop_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.

* @G_FILE_ERROR_BADF: Bad file descriptor; for example, I/O on a descriptor that has been closed or reading from a descriptor open only for writing (or vice versa).
* @G_FILE_ERROR_INVAL: Invalid argument. This is used to indicate various kinds of problems with passing the wrong argument to a library function.
* @G_FILE_ERROR_PIPE: Broken pipe; there is no process reading from the other end of a pipe. Every library function that returns this error code also generates a `SIGPIPE' signal; this signal terminates the program if not handled or blocked. Thus, your program will never actually see this code unless it has handled or blocked `SIGPIPE'.
* @G_FILE_ERROR_AGAIN: Resource temporarily unavailable; the call might work if you try again later.
* @G_FILE_ERROR_INTR: Interrupted function call; an asynchronous signal occurred and prevented completion of the call. When this happens, you should try the call again.
* @G_FILE_ERROR_IO: Input/output error; usually used for physical read or write errors. i.e. the disk or other physical device hardware is returning errors.
* @G_FILE_ERROR_PERM: Operation not permitted; only the owner of the file (or other resource) or processes with special privileges can perform the operation.
* @G_FILE_ERROR_NOSYS: Function not implemented; this indicates that the system is missing some functionality.
* @G_FILE_ERROR_FAILED: Does not correspond to a UNIX error code; this is the standard "failed for unspecified reason" error code present in all #GError error code enumerations. Returned if no specific code applies.
*
* Values corresponding to @errno codes returned from file operations
* on UNIX. Unlike @errno codes, GFileError values are available on
* all systems, even Windows. The exact meaning of each code depends
* on what sort of file operation you were performing; the UNIX

/**
* GMutex:
*
* 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:
*
*
* A function which will not work in a threaded environment
*
* 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:
*
*
* Using GMutex to protected a shared variable
*
* int
* give_me_next_number (void)
* {
* static GMutex mutex;
* static int current_number = 0;
* int ret_val;
*
* g_mutex_lock (&mutex);
* ret_val = current_number = calc_next_number (current_number);
* g_mutex_unlock (&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.

* @dispose: the @dispose function is supposed to drop all references to other objects, but keep the instance otherwise intact, so that client method invocations still work. It may be run multiple times (due to reference loops). Before returning, @dispose should chain up to the @dispose method of the parent class.
* @finalize: instance finalization function, should finish the finalization of the instance begun in @dispose and chain up to the @finalize method of the parent class.

*
* The GRWLock struct is an opaque data structure to represent a

*
* 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()).

* g_ptr_array_index (array, index) = data;
*
* g_rw_lock_writer_unlock (&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 once 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.

/**
* GRegexCompileFlags:
* @G_REGEX_CASELESS: Letters in the pattern match both upper- and lowercase letters. This option can be changed within a pattern by a "(?i)" option setting.
* @G_REGEX_MULTILINE: By default, GRegex treats the strings as consisting of a single line of characters (even if it actually contains newlines). The "start of line" metacharacter ("^") matches only at the start of the string, while the "end of line" metacharacter ("$") matches only at the end of the string, or before a terminating newline (unless #G_REGEX_DOLLAR_ENDONLY is set). When #G_REGEX_MULTILINE is set, the "start of line" and "end of line" constructs match immediately following or immediately before any newline in the string, respectively, as well as at the very start and end. This can be changed within a pattern by a "(?m)" option setting.
* @G_REGEX_DOTALL: A dot metacharater (".") in the pattern matches all characters, including newlines. Without it, newlines are excluded. This option can be changed within a pattern by a ("?s") option setting.
* @G_REGEX_EXTENDED: Whitespace data characters in the pattern are totally ignored except when escaped or inside a character class. Whitespace does not include the VT character (code 11). In addition, characters between an unescaped "#" outside a character class and the next newline character, inclusive, are also ignored. This can be changed within a pattern by a "(?x)" option setting.
* @G_REGEX_ANCHORED: The pattern is forced to be "anchored", that is, it is constrained to match only at the first matching point in the string that is being searched. This effect can also be achieved by appropriate constructs in the pattern itself such as the "^" metacharater.
* @G_REGEX_DOLLAR_ENDONLY: A dollar metacharacter ("$") in the pattern matches only at the end of the string. Without this option, a dollar also matches immediately before the final character if it is a newline (but not before any other newlines). This option is ignored if #G_REGEX_MULTILINE is set.
* @G_REGEX_UNGREEDY: Inverts the "greediness" of the quantifiers so that they are not greedy by default, but become greedy if followed by "?". It can also be set by a "(?U)" option setting within the pattern.
* @G_REGEX_RAW: Usually strings must be valid UTF-8 strings, using this flag they are considered as a raw sequence of bytes. @G_REGEX_NO_AUTO_CAPTURE: Disables the use of numbered capturing parentheses in the pattern. Any opening parenthesis that is not followed by "?" behaves as if it were followed by "?:" but named parentheses can still be used for capturing (and they acquire numbers in the usual way).
* @G_REGEX_OPTIMIZE: Optimize the regular expression. If the pattern will be used many times, then it may be worth the effort to optimize it to improve the speed of matches.
* @G_REGEX_DUPNAMES: Names used to identify capturing subpatterns need not be unique. This can be helpful for certain types of pattern when it is known that only one instance of the named subpattern can ever be matched.
* @G_REGEX_NEWLINE_CR: Usually any newline character is recognized, if this option is set, the only recognized newline character is '\r'.
* @G_REGEX_NEWLINE_LF: Usually any newline character is recognized, if this option is set, the only recognized newline character is '\n'.
* @G_REGEX_NEWLINE_CRLF: Usually any newline character is recognized, if this option is set, the only recognized newline character sequence is '\r\n'.

* @G_REGEX_MATCH_NOTBOL: Specifies that first character of the string is not the beginning of a line, so the circumflex metacharacter should not match before it.

* On POSIX platforms, the function is called in the child after GLib

*
* 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
* signal7)
* 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.

/**
* GTypeValueTable:
* @value_init: Default initialize @values contents by poking values directly into the value->data array. The data array of the #GValue passed into this function was zero-filled with memset(), so no care has to be taken to free any old contents. E.g. for the implementation of a string value that may never be %NULL, the implementation might look like: |[ value->data[0].v_pointer = g_strdup (""); ]|
* @value_free: Free any old contents that might be left in the data array of the passed in @value. No resources may remain allocated through the #GValue contents after this function returns. E.g. for our above string type: |[ // only free strings without a specific flag for static storage if (!(value->data[1].v_uint & G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS)) g_free (value->data[0].v_pointer); ]|
* @value_copy: @dest_value is a #GValue with zero-filled data section and @src_value is a properly setup #GValue of same or derived type. The purpose of this function is to copy the contents of @src_value into @dest_value in a way, that even after @src_value has been freed, the contents of @dest_value remain valid. String type example: |[ dest_value->data[0].v_pointer = g_strdup (src_value->data[0].v_pointer); ]|
* @value_peek_pointer: If the value contents fit into a pointer, such as objects or strings, return this pointer, so the caller can peek at the current contents. To extend on our above string example: |[ return value->data[0].v_pointer; ]|
* @collect_format: A string format describing how to collect the contents of this value bit-by-bit. Each character in the format represents an argument to be collected, and the characters themselves indicate the type of the argument. Currently supported arguments are: 'i' - Integers. passed as collect_values[].v_int. 'l' - Longs. passed as collect_values[].v_long. 'd' - Doubles. passed as collect_values[].v_double. 'p' - Pointers. passed as collect_values[].v_pointer. It should be noted that for variable argument list construction, ANSI C promotes every type smaller than an integer to an int, and floats to doubles. So for collection of short int or char, 'i' needs to be used, and for collection of floats 'd'.
* @collect_value: The collect_value() function is responsible for converting the values collected from a variable argument list into contents suitable for storage in a GValue. This function should setup @value similar to value_init(); e.g. for a string value that does not allow %NULL pointers, it needs to either spew an error, or do an implicit conversion by storing an empty string. The @value passed in to this function has a zero-filled data array, so just like for value_init() it is guaranteed to not contain any old contents that might need freeing. @n_collect_values is exactly the string length of @collect_format, and @collect_values is an array of unions #GTypeCValue with length @n_collect_values, containing the collected values according to @collect_format. @collect_flags is an argument provided as a hint by the caller. It may contain the flag %G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS indicating, that the collected value contents may be considered "static" for the duration of the @value lifetime. Thus an extra copy of the contents stored in @collect_values is not required for assignment to @value. For our above string example, we continue with: |[ if (!collect_values[0].v_pointer) value->data[0].v_pointer = g_strdup (""); else if (collect_flags & G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS) { value->data[0].v_pointer = collect_values[0].v_pointer; // keep a flag for the value_free() implementation to not free this string value->data[1].v_uint = G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS; } else value->data[0].v_pointer = g_strdup (collect_values[0].v_pointer); return NULL; ]| It should be noted, that it is generally a bad idea to follow the #G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS hint for reference counted types. Due to reentrancy requirements and reference count assertions performed by the signal emission code, reference counts should always be incremented for reference counted contents stored in the value->data array. To deviate from our string example for a moment, and taking a look at an exemplary implementation for collect_value() of #GObject: |[ if (collect_values[0].v_pointer) { GObject *object = G_OBJECT (collect_values[0].v_pointer); // never honour G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS for ref-counted types value->data[0].v_pointer = g_object_ref (object); return NULL; } else return g_strdup_printf ("Object passed as invalid NULL pointer"); } ]| The reference count for valid objects is always incremented, regardless of @collect_flags. For invalid objects, the example returns a newly allocated string without altering @value. Upon success, collect_value() needs to return %NULL. If, however, an error condition occurred, collect_value() may spew an error by returning a newly allocated non-%NULL string, giving a suitable description of the error condition. The calling code makes no assumptions about the @value contents being valid upon error returns, @value is simply thrown away without further freeing. As such, it is a good idea to not allocate #GValue contents, prior to returning an error, however, collect_values() is not obliged to return a correctly setup @value for error returns, simply because any non-%NULL return is considered a fatal condition so further program behaviour is undefined.
* @lcopy_format: Format description of the arguments to collect for @lcopy_value, analogous to @collect_format. Usually, @lcopy_format string consists only of 'p's to provide lcopy_value() with pointers to storage locations.
* @lcopy_value: This function is responsible for storing the @value contents into arguments passed through a variable argument list which got collected into @collect_values according to @lcopy_format. @n_collect_values equals the string length of @lcopy_format, and @collect_flags may contain %G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS. In contrast to collect_value(), lcopy_value() is obliged to always properly support %G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS. Similar to collect_value() the function may prematurely abort by returning a newly allocated string describing an error condition. To complete the string example: |[ gchar **string_p = collect_values[0].v_pointer; if (!string_p) return g_strdup_printf ("string location passed as NULL"); if (collect_flags & G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS) *string_p = value->data[0].v_pointer; else *string_p = g_strdup (value->data[0].v_pointer); ]| And an illustrative version of lcopy_value() for reference-counted types: |[ GObject **object_p = collect_values[0].v_pointer; if (!object_p) return g_strdup_printf ("object location passed as NULL"); if (!value->data[0].v_pointer) *object_p = NULL; else if (collect_flags & G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS) /* always honour */ *object_p = value->data[0].v_pointer; else *object_p = g_object_ref (value->data[0].v_pointer); return NULL; ]|
*
* The #GTypeValueTable provides the functions required by the #GValue implementation,
* to serve as a container for values of a type.

/**
* G_PRIVATE_INIT:
* @notify: a #GDestroyNotify
*
* A macro to assist with the static initialisation of a #GPrivate.

* This macro is useful for the case that a #GDestroyNotify function

* used to point at memory that should be deallocated when the thread
* exits.

* value stored in the key when g_private_replace() is used.
*
* If no #GDestroyNotify is needed, then use of this macro is not
* required -- if the #GPrivate is declared in static scope then it will
* be properly initialised by default (ie: to all zeros). See the
* examples below.

/**
* SECTION:async_queues
* @title: Asynchronous Queues
* @short_description: asynchronous communication between threads
* @see_also: #GThreadPool
*
* 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_timed_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.

/**
* SECTION:atomic_operations
* @title: Atomic Operations
* @short_description: basic atomic integer and pointer operations
* @see_also: #GMutex
*
* 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.

* GBookmarkFile lets you parse, edit or create files containing bookmarks

* 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.
*
* 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
* xbel root element; each bookmark is stored inside a
* bookmark 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
* metadata 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.
* |[FIXME: MISSING XINCLUDE CONTENT]|
*
* 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_app_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().

/**
* SECTION:byte_order
* @title: Byte Order Macros
* @short_description: a portable way to convert between different byte orders
*
* 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.

/**
* SECTION:conversions
* @title: Character Set Conversion
* @short_description: convert strings between different character sets
*
* 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
* "Presentación.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 ó 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 ó 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(3) 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 he
* wishes 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(2) or fopen(3).
*
*
* 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
* 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.
* 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
*
*
*
* Checklist for Application Writers
*
* This section is a practical summary of the detailed
* description above. You can use this as a checklist of
* things to do to make sure your applications process file
* name encodings correctly.
*
*
*
* If you get a file name from the file system from a function
* such as readdir(3) or gtk_file_chooser_get_filename(),
* you do not need to do any conversion to pass that
* file name to functions like open(2), rename(2), or
* fopen(3) — those are "raw" file names which the file
* system understands.
*
*
* 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.
*
*
* 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(3). 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.

/**
* SECTION:date
* @title: Date and Time Functions
* @short_description: calendrical calculations and miscellaneous time stuff
*
* 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 to a sane state by
* calling g_date_clear(). A cleared date is sane; 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.

* 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.

/**
* SECTION:error_reporting
* @Title: Error Reporting
* @Short_description: a system for reporting errors
*
* 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
* object) and a set of 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.
*
* 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. For example:
* |[
* 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:
* |[
* gchar *contents;
* GError *err = NULL;
* g_file_get_contents ("foo.txt", &contents, NULL, &err);
* g_assert ((contents == NULL && err != NULL) || (contents != NULL && 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->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:
* |[
* if (g_file_get_contents ("foo.txt", &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
* error->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,
* error->message already contains a filename).
*
* 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:
* |[
* gint
* foo_open_file (GError **error)
* {
* gint fd;
*
* fd = open ("file.txt", O_RDONLY);
*
* if (fd < 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 (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:
* |[
* 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, 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.
* |[
* 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 (&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:
* |[
* 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 (&tmp_error);
* other_function_that_can_fail (&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():
* |[
* 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 (&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
* <NAMESPACE>_<MODULE>_ERROR,
* for example %G_SPAWN_ERROR or %G_THREAD_ERROR:
* |[
* #define G_SPAWN_ERROR g_spawn_error_quark ()
*
* GQuark
* g_spawn_error_quark (void)
* {
* return g_quark_from_static_string ("g-spawn-error-quark");
* }
* ]|
*
*
* The quark function for the error domain is called
* <namespace>_<module>_error_quark,
* for example g_spawn_error_quark() or %g_thread_error_quark().
*
*
* The error codes are in an enumeration called
* <Namespace><Module>Error;
* for example,#GThreadError or #GSpawnError.
*
*
* Members of the error code enumeration are called
* <NAMESPACE>_<MODULE>_ERROR_<CODE>,
* 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 <NAMESPACE>_<MODULE>_ERROR_FAILED,
* for example %G_SPAWN_ERROR_FAILED.
*
*
*
* 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.
*
*
* 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. If %FALSE is
* returned, the error must be set to a non-%NULL
* value.
*
*
* 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);).

/**
* SECTION:gregex
* @title: Perl-compatible regular expressions
* @short_description: matches strings against regular expressions
* @see_also:
*
* 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. "à") 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.
*
* 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

/**
* SECTION:gvariant
* @title: GVariant
* @short_description: strongly typed value datatype
* @see_also: GVariantType
*
* #GVariant is a variant datatype; it stores a value along with
* information about the type of that value. 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 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)
* or supplied out-of-band (for instance, a 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.
*
*
* 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 32bit 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 32bit 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 lookup 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 32bit 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 byes 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.

/**
* SECTION:gvarianttype
* @title: GVariantType
* @short_description: introduction to the GVariant type system
* @see_also: #GVariantType, #GVariant
*
* 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 DBus
* specification, 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).
*
* A detailed description of GVariant type strings is given here:
*
*
* 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)}))".
*
*
* The meaning of each of the characters is as follows:

*
*
* "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.

* SECTION:hash_tables
* @title: Hash Tables
* @short_description: associations between keys and values so that given a key the value can be found quickly
*
* A #GHashTable provides associations between keys and values which is
* optimized so that given a key, the associated value can be found
* very quickly.
*
* 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 lookup 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 a iterator to iterate over the
* key/value pairs in the hash table, see #GHashTableIter.
*
* To destroy a #GHashTable use g_hash_table_destroy().
*
*
* Using a GHashTable as a set
*
* 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.

* @see_also: g_io_add_watch(), g_io_add_watch_full(), g_source_remove() Convenience functions for creating #GIOChannel instances and adding them to the main event loop.
*
* 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. 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 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(),

* @short_description: parses .ini-like config files
*
* #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 and the
* Icon
* Theme Specification.
*
* The syntax of key files is described in detail in the
* Desktop
* Entry Specification, 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, 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.

/**
* SECTION:main
* @title: The Main Event Loop
* @short_description: manages all available sources of events
*
* 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.
*
* 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().
* The operation of these functions can best be seen in terms
* of a state diagram, as shown in .
* States of a Main Context
*
*
*
*
* 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.

/**
* SECTION:memory_slices
* @title: Memory Slices
* @short_description: efficient way to allocate groups of equal-sized chunks of memory
*
* 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] Jeff Bonwick, The slab allocator: An object-caching kernel
* memory allocator. USENIX 1994, and
* [Bonwick01] 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.
*
*
* Using the slice allocator
*
* gchar *mem[10000];
* gint i;
*
* /* Allocate 10000 blocks. */
* for (i = 0; i < 10000; i++)
* {

* /* Now free all of the blocks. */
* for (i = 0; i < 10000; i++)
* {
* g_slice_free1 (50, mem[i]);
* }

/**
* SECTION:option
* @Short_description: parses commandline options
* @Title: Commandline option parser
*
* 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 , ,
* and
* 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.

* static gint repeats = 2;
* static gint max_size = 8;
* static gboolean verbose = FALSE;

/**
* SECTION:random_numbers
* @title: Random Numbers
* @short_description: pseudo-random number generator
*
* The following functions allow you to use a portable, fast and good
* pseudo-random number generator (PRNG). It uses the Mersenne Twister
* PRNG, which was originally developed by Makoto Matsumoto and Takuji
* Nishimura. Further information can be found at
*
* 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 and GRandom.
* 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.

/**

* @title: Sequences
* @short_description: scalable lists
*
* The #GSequence data structure has the API of a list, but is
* implemented internally with a balanced binary tree. This means that
* it is possible to maintain a sorted list of n elements in time O(n
* log n). The data contained in each element can be either integer
* values, by using of the 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.

*
* While you may use the printf() functions

/**
* SECTION:testing
* @title: Testing
* @short_description: a test framework
* @see_also: gtester, gtester-report
*
* 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
* |[
* 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(), the test framework provides
* an extended set of assertions for string and numerical comparisons:
* g_assert_cmpfloat(), g_assert_cmpint(), g_assert_cmpuint(),
* g_assert_cmphex(), g_assert_cmpstr(). The advantage of these variants
* over plain g_assert() is that the assertion messages can be more
* elaborate, and include the values of the compared entities.

* facilitate running tests and producing nicely formatted test reports.

/**
* SECTION:thread_pools
* @title: Thread Pools
* @short_description: pools of threads to execute work concurrently
* @see_also: #GThread
*
* 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
* can be stopped by calling g_thread_pool_stop_unused_threads().
*/
/**
* SECTION:threads
* @title: Threads
* @short_description: portable support for threads, mutexes, locks, conditions and thread private data
* @see_also: #GThreadPool, #GAsyncQueue
*
* 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()).
*
*
* 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.
*
*
* setlocale() 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.
*
*
* fork() 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.
*
*
* daemon() 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.

* @title: Type Conversion Macros
* @short_description: portably storing integers in pointer variables
*
* Many times GLib, GTK+, and other libraries allow you to pass "user

* you want to pass an integer instead of a pointer. You could allocate
* an integer, with something like:
* |[
* 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:
* |[
* 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:
* |[
* 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 the every platform.
*
* 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

* - New types which are not part of standard C (but are defined in
* various C standard library header files) - #gboolean, #gsize,
* #gssize, #goffset, #gintptr, #guintptr.
* - Integer types which are guaranteed to be the same size across
* all platforms - #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 - #gchar, #gint, #gshort, #glong,
* #gfloat, #gdouble.
*
* 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.

* @Title: Unicode Manipulation
* @Short_description: functions operating on Unicode characters and UTF-8 strings
* @See_also: g_locale_to_utf8(), g_locale_from_utf8()
*
* This section describes a number of functions for dealing with
* Unicode characters and strings. There are analogues of the
* traditional ctype.h character classification
* and case conversion functions, UTF-8 analogues of some string utility
* functions, functions to perform normalization, case conversion and
* collation on UTF-8 strings and finally functions to convert between
* the UTF-8, UTF-16 and UCS-4 encodings of Unicode.
*
* The implementations of the Unicode functions in GLib are based
* on the Unicode Character Data tables, which are available from
* www.unicode.org.
* GLib 2.8 supports Unicode 4.0, GLib 2.10 supports Unicode 4.1,
* GLib 2.12 supports Unicode 5.0, GLib 2.16.3 supports Unicode 5.1,
* GLib 2.30 supports Unicode 6.0.

* should only be used if you mean "if (bug in program) return".
* The program behavior is generally considered undefined after one

/**
* g_alloca:
* @size: number of bytes to allocate.
*
* Allocates @size bytes on the stack; these bytes will be freed when the current

* function present on most UNIX variants.
* 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.

/**
* g_atexit:
* @func: (scope async): the function to call on normal program termination.
*
* 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.
*
* Deprecated:2.32: It is best to avoid g_atexit().

* This function works for file descriptors as returned by the open(),

* fully supports msvcrt.dll.
*
* If you have created a #GIOChannel for a file descriptor and started
* watching (polling) it, you shouldn't call read() on the file
* descriptor. This is because adding polling for a file descriptor is
* implemented in GLib on Windows by starting a thread that sits

* 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()
*
* |[
* gpointer

* {
* FreeListBlock *block = g_new (FreeListBlock, 1);

*
* 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:
*
*
*
*
* Use gtk_widget_set_sensitive() or modal dialogs to prevent
* the user from interacting with elements while the main
* loop is recursing.
*
*
*
*
* 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.

*
* 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; the PATH shell variable
* will only be searched if you pass the %G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH flag.
* 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 will have to call the
* undocumented function __wgetmainargs() to get the wide character
* argument vector and environment. See gspawn-win32-helper.c in the
* GLib sources or init.c in the mingw runtime sources for a prototype
* for that function. Alternatively, you can retrieve the Win32 system
* level wide character command line passed to the spawned program
* using the GetCommandLineW() function.
*
* 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 of 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 to
* be notified about the death of the child process. 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().
*
* %G_SPAWN_LEAVE_DESCRIPTORS_OPEN means that the parent's 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 user's PATH.
* %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().
*
*
* If you are writing a GTK+ application, and the program you
* are spawning is a graphical application, too, then you may
* want to use gdk_spawn_on_screen_with_pipes() instead to ensure that

* 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
*
* 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().
*
* This internally creates a main loop source using
* g_timeout_source_new_seconds() and attaches it to the main loop context
* using g_source_attach(). You can do these steps manually if you need
* greater control.
*
* The interval given is in terms of monotonic time, not wall clock
* time. See g_get_monotonic_time().

* Returns: the ID (greater than 0) of the event source.

* 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

* The use of @package is deprecated. You should always pass %NULL. A
* warning is printed if non-NULL is passed as @package.
*
* The original intended use of @package was for a short identifier of
* the package, typically the same identifier as used for
* GETTEXT_PACKAGE in software configured using GNU
* autotools. The function first looks in the Windows Registry for the
* value #InstallationDirectory in the key
* #HKLM\Software\@package, and if that value
* exists and is a string, returns that.
*
* It is strongly recommended that packagers of GLib-using libraries
* for Windows do not store installation paths in the Registry to be
* used by this function as that interfers with having several
* parallel installations of the library. Enabling multiple
* installations of different versions of some GLib-using library, or
* GLib itself, is desirable for various reasons.
*
* For this reason it is recommeded to always pass %NULL as
* @package to this function, to avoid the temptation to use the
* Registry. In version 2.20 of GLib the @package parameter
* will be ignored and this function won't look in the Registry at all.
*
* If @package is %NULL, or the above value isn't found in the
* Registry, but @dll_name is non-%NULL, it should name a DLL loaded
* into the current process. Typically that would be the name of the
* DLL calling this function, looking for its installation
* directory. The function then asks Windows what directory that DLL
* was loaded from. If that directory's last component is "bin" or
* "lib", the parent directory is returned, otherwise the directory
* itself. If that DLL isn't loaded, the function proceeds as if
* @dll_name was %NULL.

* If both @package and @dll_name are %NULL, the directory from where
* the main executable of the process was loaded is used instead in

*
* This function tries to determine the installation directory of a
* software package based on the location of a DLL of the software
* package.
*
* @hmodule should be the handle of a loaded DLL or %NULL. The
* function looks up the directory that DLL was loaded from. If
* @hmodule is NULL, the directory the main executable of the current
* process is looked up. If that directory's last component is "bin"
* or "lib", its parent directory is returned, otherwise the directory
* itself.
*
* It thus makes sense to pass only the handle to a "public" DLL of a
* software package to this function, as such DLLs typically are known
* to be installed in a "bin" or occasionally "lib" subfolder of the
* installation folder. DLLs that are of the dynamically loaded module
* or plugin variety are often located in more private locations
* deeper down in the tree, from which it is impossible for GLib to
* deduce the root of the package installation.
*
* The typical use case for this function is to have a DllMain() that
* saves the handle for the DLL. Then when code in the DLL needs to
* construct names of files in the installation tree it calls this
* function passing the DLL handle.
