Class ParamFormat

Get the short description of a #GParamSpec.

Gets the default value of pspec as a pointer to a #GValue.

Get the name of a #GParamSpec.

Gets the GQuark for the name.

Get the nickname of a #GParamSpec.

Gets back user data pointers stored via g_param_spec_set_qdata().

If the paramspec redirects operations to another paramspec, returns that paramspec. Redirect is used typically for providing a new implementation of a property in a derived type while preserving all the properties from the parent type. Redirection is established by creating a property of type #GParamSpecOverride. See g_object_class_override_property() for an example of the use of this capability.

Sets an opaque, named pointer on a #GParamSpec. The name is specified through a #GQuark (retrieved e.g. via g_quark_from_static_string()), and the pointer can be gotten back from the pspec with g_param_spec_get_qdata(). Setting a previously set user data pointer, overrides (frees) the old pointer set, using %NULL as pointer essentially removes the data stored.

The initial reference count of a newly created #GParamSpec is 1, even though no one has explicitly called g_param_spec_ref() on it yet. So the initial reference count is flagged as "floating", until someone calls g_param_spec_ref (pspec); g_param_spec_sink (pspec); in sequence on it, taking over the initial reference count (thus ending up with a pspec that has a reference count of 1 still, but is not flagged "floating" anymore).

Gets back user data pointers stored via g_param_spec_set_qdata() and removes the data from pspec 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.
