Function

GLibset_application_name

since: 2.2

Declaration [src]

void
g_set_application_name (
  const gchar* application_name
)

Description [src]

Sets a human-readable name for the application. This name should be localized if possible, and is intended for display to the user. Contrast with g_set_prgname(), which sets a non-localized name. g_set_prgname() will be called automatically by gtk_init(), but g_set_application_name() will not.

Note that for thread safety reasons, this function can only be called once.

The application name will be used in contexts such as error messages, or when displaying an application’s name in the task list.

Available since: 2.2

Parameters

application_name

Type: const gchar*

Localized name of the application.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.
The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
