Module

The #GModule struct is an opaque data structure to represent a [dynamically-loaded module][glib-Dynamic-Loading-of-Modules]. It should only be accessed via the following functions.

class Module {

ModuleC* cInstancePtr;

bool owned;

bool close();

void makeResident();

string name();

bool symbol(string symbolName, void* symbol);

static string buildPath(string directory, string moduleName);

static string error();

static glib.types.Quark errorQuark();

static bool supported();

}

Members

Functions

close bool close(): Closes a module.
makeResident void makeResident(): Ensures that a module will never be unloaded. Any future gmodule.module_.Module.close calls on the module will be ignored.
name string name(): Returns the filename that the module was opened with.
symbol bool symbol(string symbolName, void* symbol): Gets a symbol pointer from a module, such as one exported by G_MODULE_EXPORT. Note that a valid symbol can be null.

Static functions

buildPath string buildPath(string directory, string moduleName): A portable way to build the filename of a module. The platform-specific prefix and suffix are added to the filename, if needed, and the result is added to the directory, using the correct separator character.
error string error(): Gets a string describing the last module error.
errorQuark glib.types.Quark errorQuark()
supported bool supported(): Checks if modules are supported on the current platform.
