gi_repository_get_dependencies (
  GIRepository* repository,
  const char* namespace_,
  size_t* n_dependencies_out
)

Retrieves all (transitive) versioned dependencies for namespace_.

The returned strings are of the form namespace-version.

Note: namespace_ must have already been loaded using a function such as gi_repository_require() before calling this function.

To get only the immediate dependencies for namespace_, use gi_repository_get_immediate_dependencies().

The list is guaranteed to be NULL terminated. The NULL terminator is not counted in n_dependencies_out.

Available since: 2.80
