VariantBuilder

A utility type for constructing container-type glib.Variant instances.

This is an opaque structure and may only be accessed using the following functions.

glib.VariantBuilder is not threadsafe in any way. Do not attempt to access it from more than one thread.

class VariantBuilder {

GVariantBuilder* gVariantBuilder;

protected

bool ownedRef;

GVariantBuilder* getVariantBuilderStruct(bool transferOwnership);

void* getStruct();

this(GVariantBuilder* gVariantBuilder, bool ownedRef);

this(VariantType type);

void addValue(Variant value);

void clear();

void close();

Variant end();

void init(VariantType type);

void open(VariantType type);

VariantBuilder ref_();

void unref();

}

Constructors

this this(GVariantBuilder* gVariantBuilder, bool ownedRef): Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class.
this this(VariantType type): Allocates and initialises a new glib.VariantBuilder

Destructor

A destructor is present on this object, but not explicitly documented in the source.

Members

Functions

addValue void addValue(Variant value): Adds value to builder.
clear void clear(): Releases all memory associated with a glib.VariantBuilder without freeing the glib.VariantBuilder structure itself.
close void close(): Closes the subcontainer inside the given builder that was opened by the most recent call to Variant.builderOpen.
end Variant end(): Ends the builder process and returns the constructed value.
getStruct void* getStruct(): the main Gtk struct as a void*
getVariantBuilderStruct GVariantBuilder* getVariantBuilderStruct(bool transferOwnership): Get the main Gtk struct
init void init(VariantType type): Initialises a glib.VariantBuilder structure.
open void open(VariantType type): Opens a subcontainer inside the given builder. When done adding items to the subcontainer, Variant.builderClose must be called. type is the type of the container: so to build a tuple of several values, type must include the tuple itself.
ref_ VariantBuilder ref_(): Increases the reference count on builder.
unref void unref(): Decreases the reference count on builder.

Variables
