Function

Gtkparse_args

Declaration [src]

gboolean
gtk_parse_args (
  int* argc,
  char*** argv
)

Description [src]

Parses command line arguments, and initializes global attributes of GTK+, but does not actually open a connection to a display. (See gdk_display_open(), gdk_get_display_arg_name())

Any arguments used by GTK+ or GDK are removed from the array and argc and argv are updated accordingly.

There is no need to call this function explicitly if you are using gtk_init(), or gtk_init_check().

Note that many aspects of GTK+ require a display connection to function, so this way of initializing GTK+ is really only useful for specialized use cases.

Parameters

`argc`	`int*`
	A pointer to the number of command line arguments.
	The argument will be modified by the function.
`argv`	An array of `char**`
	A pointer to the array of command line arguments.
	The argument will be modified by the function.
	The length of the array is specified in the `argc` argument.
	The called function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
	Each element is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.

Return value

Returns:	`gboolean`
	`TRUE` if initialization succeeded, otherwise `FALSE`.
