GI_IS_FIELD_INFO()

#define             GI_IS_FIELD_INFO(info)

Checks if info is a GIFieldInfo.

g_field_info_get_field ()

gboolean
g_field_info_get_field (GIFieldInfo *field_info,
                        gpointer mem,
                        GIArgument *value);

Reads a field identified by a GIFieldInfo from a C structure or union. This only handles fields of simple C types. It will fail for a field of a composite type like a nested structure or union even if that is actually readable.

g_field_info_set_field ()

gboolean
g_field_info_set_field (GIFieldInfo *field_info,
                        gpointer mem,
                        const GIArgument *value);

Writes a field identified by a GIFieldInfo to a C structure or union. This only handles fields of simple C types. It will fail for a field of a composite type like a nested structure or union even if that is actually writable. Note also that that it will refuse to write fields where memory management would by required. A field with a type such as 'char *' must be set with a setter function.

g_field_info_get_flags ()

GIFieldInfoFlags
g_field_info_get_flags (GIFieldInfo *info);

Obtain the flags for this GIFieldInfo. See GIFieldInfoFlags for possible flag values.

g_field_info_get_offset ()

gint
g_field_info_get_offset (GIFieldInfo *info);

Obtain the offset in bytes of the field member, this is relative to the beginning of the struct or union.

g_field_info_get_size ()

gint
g_field_info_get_size (GIFieldInfo *info);

Obtain the size in bits of the field member, this is how much space you need to allocate to store the field.

g_field_info_get_type ()

GITypeInfo *
g_field_info_get_type (GIFieldInfo *info);

Obtain the type of a field as a GITypeInfo.

GIFieldInfo

typedef GIBaseInfo GIFieldInfo;

Represents a field of a GIStructInfo or a GIUnionInfo.

enum GIFieldInfoFlags

Flags for a GIFieldInfo.
