Enumeration

GLibOptionArg

Declaration

enum GLib.OptionArg

Description [src]

The GOptionArg enum values determine which type of extra argument the options expect to find. If an option expects an extra argument, it can be specified in several ways; with a short option: -x arg, with a long option: --name arg or combined in a single argument: --name=arg.

Members

Name	Description
`G_OPTION_ARG_NONE`	No extra argument. This is useful for simple flags or booleans.
`G_OPTION_ARG_STRING`	The option takes a UTF-8 string argument.
`G_OPTION_ARG_INT`	The option takes an integer argument.
`G_OPTION_ARG_CALLBACK`	The option provides a callback (of type `GOptionArgFunc`) to parse the extra argument.
`G_OPTION_ARG_FILENAME`	The option takes a filename as argument, which will be in the GLib filename encoding rather than UTF-8.
`G_OPTION_ARG_STRING_ARRAY`	The option takes a string argument, multiple uses of the option are collected into an array of strings.
`G_OPTION_ARG_FILENAME_ARRAY`	The option takes a filename as argument, multiple uses of the option are collected into an array of strings.
`G_OPTION_ARG_DOUBLE`	The option takes a double argument. The argument can be formatted either for the user’s locale or for the “C” locale. Since 2.12
`G_OPTION_ARG_INT64`	The option takes a 64-bit integer. Like `G_OPTION_ARG_INT` but for larger numbers. The number can be in decimal base, or in hexadecimal (when prefixed with `0x`, for example, `0xffffffff`). Since 2.12
