Struct Repository

pub struct Repository { /* private fields */ }

Repository is used to manage repositories of namespaces. Namespaces are represented on disk by type libraries (.typelib files).

Discovery of type libraries

Repository will typically look for a girepository-1.0 directory under the library directory used when compiling gobject-introspection.

It is possible to control the search paths programmatically, using prepend_search_path(). It is also possible to modify the search paths by using the GI_TYPELIB_PATH environment variable. The environment variable takes precedence over the default search path and the prepend_search_path() calls.

Implementations

impl Repository

pub const NONE: Option<&'static Repository> = None

pub fn dump(arg: &str) -> Result<(), Error>

pub fn error_quark() -> Quark

pub fn default() -> Option<Repository>

Returns the singleton process-global default Repository. It is not currently supported to have multiple repositories in a particular process, but this function is provided in the unlikely eventuality that it would become possible, and as a convenience for higher level language bindings to conform to the GObject method call conventions.

All methods on Repository also accept None as an instance parameter to mean this default repository, which is usually more convenient for C.

Returns

The global singleton Repository

pub fn search_path() -> Vec<PathBuf>

Returns the current search path Repository will use when loading typelib files. The list is internal to Repository and should not be freed, nor should its string elements.

Returns

GSList of strings

pub fn prepend_library_path(directory: &str)

pub fn prepend_search_path(directory: impl AsRef<Path>)

Prepends directory to the typelib search path.

See also: search_path().

directory

directory name to prepend to the typelib search path

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Repository

fn clone(&self) -> Self

Returns a duplicate of the value.

const fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Repository

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for Repository

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Hash for Repository

fn hash<H>(&self, state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher,

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl Ord for Repository

fn cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> Ordering

This method returns an Ordering between self and other.

fn max(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the maximum of two values.

fn min(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the minimum of two values.

fn clamp(self, min: Self, max: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Restrict a value to a certain interval.

impl ParentClassIs for Repository

type Parent = Object

impl<OT: ObjectType> PartialEq<OT> for Repository

fn eq(&self, other: &OT) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl<OT: ObjectType> PartialOrd<OT> for Repository

fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &OT) -> Option<Ordering>

This method returns an ordering between self and other values if one exists.

fn lt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests less than (for self and other) and is used by the < operator.

fn le(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests less than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the <= operator.

fn gt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests greater than (for self and other) and is used by the > operator.

fn ge(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests greater than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the >= operator.

impl StaticType for Repository

fn static_type() -> Type

Returns the type identifier of Self.
