Description

abstract class GIRepository.BaseInfo : GObject.TypeInstance {
  /* No available fields */
}

GIBaseInfo is the common base struct of all other Info structs accessible through the GIRepository API.

All info structures can be cast to a GIBaseInfo, for instance:

   GIFunctionInfo *function_info = …;
   GIBaseInfo *info = (GIBaseInfo *) function_info;

Most GIRepository APIs returning a GIBaseInfo are actually creating a new struct; in other words, gi_base_info_unref() has to be called when done accessing the data.

GIBaseInfo structuress are normally accessed by calling either gi_repository_find_by_name(), gi_repository_find_by_gtype() or gi_repository_get_info().

GIBaseInfo *button_info =
  gi_repository_find_by_name (NULL, "Gtk", "Button");

// use button_info…

gi_base_info_unref (button_info);
