Struct

GLibOptionGroup

Description [src]

struct GOptionGroup {
  /* No available fields */
}

A GOptionGroup struct defines the options in a single group. The struct has only private fields and should not be directly accessed.

All options in a group share the same translation function. Libraries which need to parse commandline options are expected to provide a function for getting a GOptionGroup holding their options, which the application can then add to its GOptionContext.
