Description

Various data structures and convenience routines to parse and generate D-Bus introspection XML. Introspection information is used when registering objects with g_dbus_connection_register_object().

The format of D-Bus introspection XML is specified in the D-Bus specification

Functions

g_dbus_annotation_info_lookup ()

const gchar *
g_dbus_annotation_info_lookup (GDBusAnnotationInfo **annotations,
                               const gchar *name);

Looks up the value of an annotation.

The cost of this function is O(n) in number of annotations.

Parameters

annotations

A NULL-terminated array of annotations or NULL.

[array zero-terminated=1][allow-none]

name

The name of the annotation to look up.

 

Returns

The value or NULL if not found. Do not free, it is owned by annotations .

Since 2.26
