+ * pango_parse_enum:
+ * @type: enum type to parse, eg. %PANGO_TYPE_ELLIPSIZE_MODE.
+ * @str: string to parse.  May be %NULL.
+ * @value: integer to store the result in, or %NULL.
+ * @warn: if %TRUE, issue a g_warning() on bad input.
+ * @possible_values: place to store list of possible values on failure, or %NULL.
+ * 
+ * Parses an enum type and stored the result in @value.
+ *
+ * If @str does not match the nick name of any of the possible values for the
+ * enum, %FALSE is returned, a warning is issued if @warn is %TRUE, and a
+ * string representing the list of possible values is stored in
+ * @possible_values.  The list is slash-separated, eg.
+ * "none/start/middle/end".  If failed and @possible_values is not %NULL,
+ * returned string should be freed using g_free().
+ * 
+ * Return value: %TRUE if @str was successfully parsed.
