Function

Gdkinit_check

Declaration [src] 

gboolean
gdk_init_check (
  gint* argc,
  gchar*** argv
)

Description [src]

Initializes the GDK library and connects to the windowing system, returning TRUE on success.

Any arguments used by GDK are removed from the array and argc and argv are updated accordingly.

GTK+ initializes GDK in gtk_init() and so this function is not usually needed by GTK+ applications.

Parameters

argc

Type: gint*

The number of command line arguments.

The argument will be modified by the function.
argv

Type: An array of gchar**

The array of command line arguments.

The argument will be modified by the function.
The length of the array is specified in the argc argument.
The caller of the function takes ownership of the returned data, and is responsible for freeing it.
Each element is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.

Return value

Type: gboolean

TRUE if initialization succeeded.
