Function

GLibparse_debug_string

Declaration [src]

guint
g_parse_debug_string (
  const gchar* string,
  const GDebugKey* keys,
  guint nkeys
)

Description [src]

Parses a string containing debugging options into a %guint containing bit flags. This is used within GDK and GTK+ to parse the debug options passed on the command line or through environment variables.

If string is equal to “all”, all flags are set. Any flags specified along with “all” in string are inverted; thus, “all,foo,bar” or “foo,bar,all” sets all flags except those corresponding to “foo” and “bar”.

If string is equal to “help”, all the available keys in keys are printed out to standard error.

	The string is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
`keys`	An array of `GDebugKey`
	Pointer to an array of `GDebugKey` which associate strings with bit flags.
	The length of the array is specified in the `nkeys` argument.
	The data is owned by the caller of the function.
`nkeys`	`guint`
	The number of `GDebugKeys` in the array.

Return value

Returns:	`guint`
	The combined set of bit flags.
