struct EModule

struct EModule;

Contains only private data that should be read and manipulated using the functions below.

Since 3.4

e_module_new ()

EModule *           e_module_new                        (const gchar *filename);

Creates a new EModule that will load the specific shared library when in use.

Since 3.4

e_module_get_filename ()

const gchar *       e_module_get_filename               (EModule *module);

Returns the filename of the shared library for module. The string is owned by module and should not be modified or freed.

Since 3.4

e_module_load_all_in_directory ()

GList *             e_module_load_all_in_directory      (const gchar *dirname);

Loads all the modules in the specified directory into memory. If you want to unload them (enabling on-demand loading) you must call g_type_module_unuse() on all the modules. Free the returned list with g_list_free().

Since 3.4

ETypeFunc ()

void                (*ETypeFunc)                        (GType type,
                                                         gpointer user_data);

Specifies the type of functions passed to e_type_traverse().

Since 3.4

e_type_traverse ()

void                e_type_traverse                     (GType parent_type,
                                                         ETypeFunc func,
                                                         gpointer user_data);

Calls func for all instantiable subtypes of parent_type.

This is often useful for extending functionality by way of EModule. A module may register a subtype of parent_type in its e_module_load() function. Then later on the application will call e_type_traverse() to instantiate all registered subtypes of parent_type.

Since 3.4

The "filename" property

  "filename"                 gchar*                : Read / Write / Construct Only

The filename of the module.

Default value: NULL
