I/O binding for glib

For the purpose of I/O bindings please read the bindings readme.

Installation

See installation. This binding is currently not part of a released package.

Requirements

• glib (version 2.x)

Usage

Use the elektraIoGlibNew function to get a new I/O binding instance. Make sure to build your application with elektra-io-glib, elektra-io and glib or simply use pkg-config --cflags --libs elektra-io-glib.

ElektraIoInterface _ elektraIoGlibNew (GMainContext _ context)

Create and initialize a new I/O binding.

Parameters

• context: Context to use for I/O operations. May be NULL to indicate the glib's default context.

Returns

Populated I/O interface

Example

#include <elektra/kdb.h>
#include <elektra/kdbio.h>
#include <elektra/kdbio/glib.h>

#include <glib.h>

void main (void)
{
	KDB* repo;
	// ... open KDB

	// Create glib main loop
	GMainContext * context = NULL;
	GMainLoop * loop = g_main_loop_new (context, 0);

	// Initialize I/O binding tied to context
	ElektraIoInterface * binding = elektraIoGlibNew (context);

	// Set I/O binding
	elektraIoSetBinding (kdb, binding);

	// Start the event loop
	g_main_loop_run (loop);

	// Cleanup before exit
	elektraIoBindingCleanup (binding);
	g_main_loop_unref (loop);
}

Please check out the "notificationReload" example which uses this I/O binding.
