Callbacks

MountOperationFactory

Type definition for a function that will be called to create a GMountOperation. This is useful for creating a GtkMountOperation.

SchedulerCallback

This function is called incrementally to process additional background work. A deadline is provided which can be checked using g_get_monotonic_time() so that additional work can be processed each frame.

since: 5.2

Functions

check_version

Like GTK_SOURCE_CHECK_VERSION, but the check for gtk_source_check_version is at runtime instead of compile time. This is useful for compiling against older versions of GtkSourceView, but using features from newer versions.

finalize

Free the resources allocated by GtkSourceView. For example it unrefs the singleton objects.

get_major_version

Returns the major version number of the GtkSourceView library. (e.g. in GtkSourceView version 3.20.0 this is 3.)

get_micro_version

Returns the micro version number of the GtkSourceView library. (e.g. in GtkSourceView version 3.20.0 this is 0.)

get_minor_version

Returns the minor version number of the GtkSourceView library. (e.g. in GtkSourceView version 3.20.0 this is 20.)

init

Initializes the GtkSourceView library (e.g. for the internationalization).

scheduler_add

Simplified version of gtk_source_scheduler_add_full().

since: 5.2

scheduler_add_full

Adds a new callback that will be executed as time permits on the main thread.

since: 5.2

scheduler_remove

Removes a scheduler callback previously registered with gtk_source_scheduler_add() or gtk_source_scheduler_add_full().

since: 5.2

utils_escape_search_text

Use this function to escape the following characters: \n, \r, \t and \.

utils_unescape_search_text

Use this function before gtk_source_search_settings_set_search_text(), to unescape the following sequences of characters: \n, \r, \t and \\. The purpose is to easily write those characters in a search entry.

Function Macros

CHECK_VERSION

Macro to test the version of GtkSourceView being compiled against.

Constants

MAJOR_VERSION

Like gtk_source_get_major_version(), but from the headers used at application compile time, rather than from the library linked against at application run time.

MICRO_VERSION

Like gtk_source_get_micro_version(), but from the headers used at application compile time, rather than from the library linked against at application run time.

MINOR_VERSION

Like gtk_source_get_minor_version(), but from the headers used at application compile time, rather than from the library linked against at application run time.
