Function

GioAppInfoMonitorget

since: 2.40

Declaration

GAppInfoMonitor*
g_app_info_monitor_get (
  void
)

Description

Gets the GAppInfoMonitor for the current thread-default main context.

The GAppInfoMonitor will emit a “changed” signal in the thread-default main context whenever the list of installed applications (as reported by g_app_info_get_all()) may have changed.

The GAppInfoMonitor::changed signal will only be emitted once until g_app_info_get_all() (or another g_app_info_*() function) is called. Doing so will re-arm the signal ready to notify about the next change.

You must only call g_object_unref() on the return value from under the same main context as you created it.

Available since: 2.40

Return value
