grilo — Metadata library supporting several services

Functions

void	grl_init ()
GOptionGroup *	grl_init_get_option_group ()
void	grl_deinit ()

Includes

#include <grilo.h>

Description

Grilo is a metadata retrieval library. Given a search or browse operation, the library will retrieve a set of metadata related to the operation from a set of on-line services.

The Grilo library should be initialized with grl_init() before it can be used. You should pass pointers to the main argc and argv variables so that Grilo can process its own command line options.

After using it, in order to close cleanly all the resources opened either by the core library or the sources, call grl_deinit().

Functions

grl_init ()

void
grl_init (gint *argc,
          gchar **argv[]);

Initializes the Grilo library

Parameters

argc	number of input arguments, length of `argv` .	[inout][allow-none]
argv	list of arguments.	[inout][element-type utf8][array length=argc][allow-none][transfer none]

Since: 0.1.6

grl_init_get_option_group ()

GOptionGroup *
grl_init_get_option_group (void);

Returns a GOptionGroup with Grilo's argument specifications.

This function is useful if you want to integrate Grilo with other libraries that use the GOption commandline parser (see g_option_context_add_group() ).

Returns

a pointer to Grilo's option group. Should be dereferenced after use.

Since: 0.1.6

grl_deinit ()

void
grl_deinit (void);

Deinitializes the Grilo library.

Call this function after finalizing using Grilo, in order to free and clean up all the resources created.

Since: 0.2.8
