Module

The #GModule struct is an opaque data structure to represent a [dynamically-loaded module][glib-Dynamic-Loading-of-Modules]. It should only be accessed via the following functions.

Constructors

this
this(GModule* gModule, bool ownedRef)

Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class.

Members

Functions

close
bool close()

Closes a module.

getModuleStruct
GModule* getModuleStruct()

Get the main Gtk struct

getStruct
void* getStruct()

the main Gtk struct as a void*

makeResident
void makeResident()

Ensures that a module will never be unloaded. Any future g_module_close() calls on the module will be ignored.

name
string name()

Returns the filename that the module was opened with.

symbol
bool symbol(string symbolName, void** symbol)

Gets a symbol pointer from a module, such as one exported by #G_MODULE_EXPORT. Note that a valid symbol can be %NULL.

Static functions

buildPath
string buildPath(string directory, string moduleName)

A portable way to build the filename of a module. The platform-specific prefix and suffix are added to the filename, if needed, and the result is added to the directory, using the correct separator character.

error
string error()

Gets a string describing the last module error.

open
Module open(string fileName, GModuleFlags flags)

Opens a module. If the module has already been opened, its reference count is incremented.

supported
bool supported()

Checks if modules are supported on the current platform.

Variables

gModule
GModule* gModule;

the main Gtk struct

ownedRef
bool ownedRef;
Undocumented in source.
