Instance Method Details

#load ⇒ nil

Required API for GIO modules to implement.

This function is run after the module has been loaded into GIO, to initialize the module. Typically, this function will call g_io_extension_point_implement().

Since 2.56, this function should be named ‘g_io_<modulename>_load`, where `modulename` is the plugin’s filename with the `lib` or `libgio` prefix and everything after the first dot removed, and with `-` replaced with `_` throughout. For example, `libgiognutls-helper.so` becomes `gnutls_helper`. Using the new symbol names avoids name clashes when building modules statically. The old symbol names continue to be supported, but cannot be used for static builds.

Returns:

• (nil)

#new(filename) ⇒ Gio::IOModule

Creates a new GIOModule that will load the specific shared library when in use. or nil on error.

Parameters:

• filename (Gio::filename) —

  filename of the shared library module.

Returns:

• (Gio::IOModule) —

  a #GIOModule from given filename,

#unload ⇒ nil

Required API for GIO modules to implement.

This function is run when the module is being unloaded from GIO, to finalize the module.

Since 2.56, this function should be named ‘g_io_<modulename>_unload`, where `modulename` is the plugin’s filename with the `lib` or `libgio` prefix and everything after the first dot removed, and with `-` replaced with `_` throughout. For example, `libgiognutls-helper.so` becomes `gnutls_helper`. Using the new symbol names avoids name clashes when building modules statically. The old symbol names continue to be supported, but cannot be used for static builds.

Returns:

• (nil)
