Module

The glib.Module 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.

class Module {

protected

GModule* gModule;

protected

bool ownedRef;

GModule* getModuleStruct(bool transferOwnership);

void* getStruct();

this(GModule* gModule, bool ownedRef);

bool close();

void makeResident();

string name();

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

static string buildPath(string directory, string moduleName);

static string error();

static Module open(string fileName, GModuleFlags flags);

static bool supported();

}

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(bool transferOwnership): 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 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
