gi_repository_get_shared_libraries (
  GIRepository* repository,
  const char* namespace_,
  size_t* out_n_elements
)

This function returns an array of paths to the shared C libraries associated with the given namespace namespace_.

There may be no shared library path associated, in which case this function will return NULL.

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

The list is internal to GIRepository and should not be freed, nor should its string elements.

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