Virtual function table for GApplication.

Class members

startup: void (* startup) ( GApplication* application )

Invoked on the primary instance immediately after registration.

activate: void (* activate) ( GApplication* application )

Invoked on the primary instance when an activation occurs.

open: void (* open) ( GApplication* application, GFile** files, gint n_files, const gchar* hint )

Invoked on the primary instance when there are files to open.

command_line: int (* command_line) ( GApplication* application, GApplicationCommandLine* command_line )

Invoked on the primary instance when a command-line is not handled locally.

local_command_line: gboolean (* local_command_line) ( GApplication* application, gchar*** arguments, int* exit_status )

Invoked (locally). The virtual function has the chance to inspect (and possibly replace) command line arguments. See g_application_run() for more information. Also see the GApplication::handle-local-options signal, which is a simpler alternative to handling some commandline options locally.

before_emit: void (* before_emit) ( GApplication* application, GVariant* platform_data )

Invoked on the primary instance before ‘activate’, ‘open’, ‘command-line’ or any action invocation, gets the ‘platform data’ from the calling instance.

after_emit: void (* after_emit) ( GApplication* application, GVariant* platform_data )

Invoked on the primary instance after ‘activate’, ‘open’, ‘command-line’ or any action invocation, gets the ‘platform data’ from the calling instance.

add_platform_data: void (* add_platform_data) ( GApplication* application, GVariantBuilder* builder )

Invoked (locally) to add ‘platform data’ to be sent to the primary instance when activating, opening or invoking actions.

quit_mainloop: void (* quit_mainloop) ( GApplication* application )

Used to be invoked on the primary instance when the use count of the application drops to zero (and after any inactivity timeout, if requested). Not used anymore since 2.32.

run_mainloop: void (* run_mainloop) ( GApplication* application )

Used to be invoked on the primary instance from g_application_run() if the use-count is non-zero. Since 2.32, GApplication is iterating the main context directly and is not using run_mainloop anymore.

shutdown: void (* shutdown) ( GApplication* application )

Invoked only on the registered primary instance immediately after the main loop terminates.

dbus_register: gboolean (* dbus_register) ( GApplication* application, GDBusConnection* connection, const gchar* object_path, GError** error )

Invoked locally during registration, if the application is using its D-Bus backend. You can use this to export extra objects on the bus, that need to exist before the application tries to own the bus name. The function is passed the GDBusConnection to to session bus, and the object path that GApplication will use to export its D-Bus API. If this function returns TRUE, registration will proceed; otherwise registration will abort. Since: 2.34.

dbus_unregister: void (* dbus_unregister) ( GApplication* application, GDBusConnection* connection, const gchar* object_path )

Invoked locally during unregistration, if the application is using its D-Bus backend. Use this to undo anything done by the dbus_register vfunc. Since: 2.34.

handle_local_options: gint (* handle_local_options) ( GApplication* application, GVariantDict* options )

Invoked locally after the parsing of the commandline options has occurred. Since: 2.40.

name_lost: gboolean (* name_lost) ( GApplication* application )

Invoked when another instance is taking over the name. Since: 2.60.
