Method

GtkSourceSearchContextbackward

Declaration [src] 

gboolean
gtk_source_search_context_backward (
  GtkSourceSearchContext* search,
  const GtkTextIter* iter,
  GtkTextIter* match_start,
  GtkTextIter* match_end,
  gboolean* has_wrapped_around
)

Description [src]

Synchronous backward search.

It is recommended to use the asynchronous functions instead, to not block the user interface. However, if you are sure that the buffer is small, this function is more convenient to use.

If the GtkSourceSearchSettings:wrap-around property is FALSE, this function doesn’t try to wrap around.

The has_wrapped_around out parameter is set independently of whether a match is found. So if this function returns FALSE, has_wrapped_around will have the same value as the GtkSourceSearchSettings:wrap-around property.

Parameters

iter

Type: GtkTextIter

Start of search.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.
match_start

Type: GtkTextIter

Return location for start of match, or NULL.

The argument will be set by the function.
The argument can be NULL.
The data is owned by the caller of the function.
match_end

Type: GtkTextIter

Return location for end of match, or NULL.

The argument will be set by the function.
The argument can be NULL.
The data is owned by the caller of the function.
has_wrapped_around

Type: gboolean*

Return location to know whether the search has wrapped around, or NULL.

Return value
