Function

Gtkinit_check

Declaration [src]

gboolean
gtk_init_check (
  void
)

Description [src]

This function does the same work as gtk_init() with only a single change: It does not terminate the program if the windowing system can’t be initialized. Instead it returns FALSE on failure.

This way the application can fall back to some other means of communication with the user - for example a curses or command line interface.

Return value

Type: gboolean

TRUE if the windowing system has been successfully initialized, FALSE otherwise.
