| <p> |
| <a class="link" href="GIcon.html" title="GIcon"><span class="type">GIcon</span></a> is a very minimal interface for icons. It provides functions |
| for checking the equality of two icons, hashing of icons and |
| serializing an icon to and from strings. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <a class="link" href="GIcon.html" title="GIcon"><span class="type">GIcon</span></a> does not provide the actual pixmap for the icon as this is out |
| of GIO's scope, however implementations of <a class="link" href="GIcon.html" title="GIcon"><span class="type">GIcon</span></a> may contain the name |
| of an icon (see <a class="link" href="GThemedIcon.html" title="GThemedIcon"><span class="type">GThemedIcon</span></a>), or the path to an icon (see <a class="link" href="GLoadableIcon.html" title="GLoadableIcon"><span class="type">GLoadableIcon</span></a>). |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| To obtain a hash of a <a class="link" href="GIcon.html" title="GIcon"><span class="type">GIcon</span></a>, see <a class="link" href="GIcon.html#g-icon-hash" title="g_icon_hash ()"><code class="function">g_icon_hash()</code></a>. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| To check if two <a href="GIcon.html"><span class="type">GIcons</span></a> are equal, see <a class="link" href="GIcon.html#g-icon-equal" title="g_icon_equal ()"><code class="function">g_icon_equal()</code></a>. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| For serializing a <a class="link" href="GIcon.html" title="GIcon"><span class="type">GIcon</span></a>, use <a class="link" href="GIcon.html#g-icon-to-string" title="g_icon_to_string ()"><code class="function">g_icon_to_string()</code></a> and |
| <a class="link" href="GIcon.html#g-icon-new-for-string" title="g_icon_new_for_string ()"><code class="function">g_icon_new_for_string()</code></a>. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| If your application or library provides one or more <a class="link" href="GIcon.html" title="GIcon"><span class="type">GIcon</span></a> |
| implementations you need to ensure that each <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gobject/gobject-Type-Information.html#GType"><span class="type">GType</span></a> is registered |
| with the type system prior to calling <a class="link" href="GIcon.html#g-icon-new-for-string" title="g_icon_new_for_string ()"><code class="function">g_icon_new_for_string()</code></a>. |
