Permission

A gio.permission.Permission represents the status of the caller’s permission to perform a certain action.

You can query if the action is currently allowed and if it is possible to acquire the permission so that the action will be allowed in the future.

There is also an API to actually acquire the permission and one to release it.

As an example, a gio.permission.Permission might represent the ability for the user to write to a gio.settings.Settings object. This gio.permission.Permission object could then be used to decide if it is appropriate to show a “Click here to unlock” button in a dialog and to provide the mechanism to invoke when that button is clicked.

class Permission : ObjectG {

bool acquire(gio.cancellable.Cancellable cancellable);

void acquireAsync(gio.cancellable.Cancellable cancellable, gio.types.AsyncReadyCallback callback);

bool acquireFinish(gio.async_result.AsyncResult result);

bool getAllowed();

bool getCanAcquire();

bool getCanRelease();

void implUpdate(bool allowed, bool canAcquire, bool canRelease);

bool release(gio.cancellable.Cancellable cancellable);

void releaseAsync(gio.cancellable.Cancellable cancellable, gio.types.AsyncReadyCallback callback);

bool releaseFinish(gio.async_result.AsyncResult result);

}

Functions

acquire bool acquire(gio.cancellable.Cancellable cancellable): Attempts to acquire the permission represented by permission.
acquireAsync void acquireAsync(gio.cancellable.Cancellable cancellable, gio.types.AsyncReadyCallback callback): Attempts to acquire the permission represented by permission.
acquireFinish bool acquireFinish(gio.async_result.AsyncResult result): Collects the result of attempting to acquire the permission represented by permission.
getAllowed bool getAllowed(): Gets the value of the 'allowed' property. This property is true if the caller currently has permission to perform the action that permission represents the permission to perform.
getCanAcquire bool getCanAcquire(): Gets the value of the 'can-acquire' property. This property is true if it is generally possible to acquire the permission by calling gio.permission.Permission.acquire.
getCanRelease bool getCanRelease(): Gets the value of the 'can-release' property. This property is true if it is generally possible to release the permission by calling gio.permission.Permission.release.
implUpdate void implUpdate(bool allowed, bool canAcquire, bool canRelease): This function is called by the #GPermission implementation to update the properties of the permission. You should never call this function except from a #GPermission implementation.
release bool release(gio.cancellable.Cancellable cancellable): Attempts to release the permission represented by permission.
releaseAsync void releaseAsync(gio.cancellable.Cancellable cancellable, gio.types.AsyncReadyCallback callback): Attempts to release the permission represented by permission.
releaseFinish bool releaseFinish(gio.async_result.AsyncResult result): Collects the result of attempting to release the permission represented by permission.

From ObjectG

setGObject void setGObject(void* cObj, Flag!"Take" take): Set the GObject of a D ObjectG wrapper.
cPtr void* cPtr(Flag!"Dup" dup): Get a pointer to the underlying C object.
ref_ void* ref_(void* gObj): Calls g_object_ref() on a GObject.
unref unref(void* gObj): Calls g_object_unref() on a GObject.
getType GType getType(): Get the GType of an object.
gType GType gType [@property getter]: GObject GType property.
self ObjectG self(): Convenience method to return this cast to a type. For use in D with statements.
getDObject T getDObject(void* cptr, Flag!"Take" take): Template to get the D object from a C GObject and cast it to the given D object type.
connectSignalClosure ulong connectSignalClosure(string signalDetail, DClosure closure, Flag!"After" after): Connect a D closure to an object signal.
setProperty void setProperty(string propertyName, T val): Template for setting a GObject property.
getProperty T getProperty(string propertyName): Template for getting a GObject property.
compatControl size_t compatControl(size_t what, void* data)
bindProperty gobject.binding.Binding bindProperty(string sourceProperty, gobject.object.ObjectG target, string targetProperty, gobject.types.BindingFlags flags): Creates a binding between source_property on source and target_property on target.
bindPropertyFull gobject.binding.Binding bindPropertyFull(string sourceProperty, gobject.object.ObjectG target, string targetProperty, gobject.types.BindingFlags flags, gobject.closure.Closure transformTo, gobject.closure.Closure transformFrom): Creates a binding between source_property on source and target_property on target, allowing you to set the transformation functions to be used by the binding.
forceFloating void forceFloating(): This function is intended for #GObject implementations to re-enforce a floating[floating-ref] object reference. Doing this is seldom required: all #GInitiallyUnowneds are created with a floating reference which usually just needs to be sunken by calling gobject.object.ObjectG.refSink.
freezeNotify void freezeNotify(): Increases the freeze count on object. If the freeze count is non-zero, the emission of "notify" signals on object is stopped. The signals are queued until the freeze count is decreased to zero. Duplicate notifications are squashed so that at most one #GObject::notify signal is emitted for each property modified while the object is frozen.
getData void* getData(string key): Gets a named field from the objects table of associations (see gobject.object.ObjectG.setData).
getProperty void getProperty(string propertyName, gobject.value.Value value): Gets a property of an object.
getQdata void* getQdata(glib.types.Quark quark): This function gets back user data pointers stored via gobject.object.ObjectG.setQdata.
getv void getv(string[] names, gobject.value.Value[] values): Gets n_properties properties for an object. Obtained properties will be set to values. All properties must be valid. Warnings will be emitted and undefined behaviour may result if invalid properties are passed in.
isFloating bool isFloating(): Checks whether object has a floating[floating-ref] reference.
notify void notify(string propertyName): Emits a "notify" signal for the property property_name on object.
notifyByPspec void notifyByPspec(gobject.param_spec.ParamSpec pspec): Emits a "notify" signal for the property specified by pspec on object.
refSink gobject.object.ObjectG refSink(): Increase the reference count of object, and possibly remove the floating[floating-ref] reference, if object has a floating reference.
runDispose void runDispose(): Releases all references to other objects. This can be used to break reference cycles.
setData void setData(string key, void* data): Each object carries around a table of associations from strings to pointers. This function lets you set an association.
setProperty void setProperty(string propertyName, gobject.value.Value value): Sets a property on an object.
stealData void* stealData(string key): Remove a specified datum from the object's data associations, without invoking the association's destroy handler.
stealQdata void* stealQdata(glib.types.Quark quark): This function gets back user data pointers stored via gobject.object.ObjectG.setQdata and removes the data from object without invoking its destroy() function (if any was set). Usually, calling this function is only required to update user data pointers with a destroy notifier, for example:
thawNotify void thawNotify(): Reverts the effect of a previous call to gobject.object.ObjectG.freezeNotify. The freeze count is decreased on object and when it reaches zero, queued "notify" signals are emitted.
watchClosure void watchClosure(gobject.closure.Closure closure): This function essentially limits the life time of the closure to the life time of the object. That is, when the object is finalized, the closure is invalidated by calling gobject.closure.Closure.invalidate on it, in order to prevent invocations of the closure with a finalized (nonexisting) object. Also, gobject.object.ObjectG.ref_ and gobject.object.ObjectG.unref are added as marshal guards to the closure, to ensure that an extra reference count is held on object during invocation of the closure. Usually, this function will be called on closures that use this object as closure data.
connectNotify ulong connectNotify(string detail, T callback, Flag!"After" after): Connect to Notify signal.
