Description

Functions

thunarx_check_version ()

const gchar *
thunarx_check_version (guint required_major,
                       guint required_minor,
                       guint required_micro);

Checks that the thunarx library in use is compatible with the given version. Generally you would pass in the constants THUNARX_MAJOR_VERSION, THUNARX_MINOR_VERSION and THUNARX_VERSION_MICRO as the three arguments to this function; that produces a check that the library in use is compatible with the version of

thunarx the extension was

compiled against.

This function should be called by extensions in the thunar_extension_initialize() method to verify that the thunarx library used by file manager is compatible with the version the extension was compiled with.

const gchar *mismatch;
mismatch = thunarx_check_version (THUNARX_VERSION_MAJOR,
                                  THUNARX_VERSION_MINOR,
                                  THUNARX_VERSION_MICRO);
if (G_UNLIKELY (mismatch != NULL))
  g_error ("Version mismatch: %s", mismatch);

Parameters

required_major

the required major version.

 

required_minor

the required minor version.

 

required_micro

the required micro version.

 

Returns

NULL if the library is compatible with the given version, or a string describing the version mismatch. The returned string is owned by the library and must not be freed or modified by the caller.


THUNARX_CHECK_VERSION()

#define             THUNARX_CHECK_VERSION(major,minor,micro)

Types and Values

thunarx_major_version

extern const guint thunarx_major_version;

The major version number of the

thunarx library (e.g. in

version 0.5.1 this is 0).

This variable is in the library, so represents the

thunarx library you have

linked against. Contrast with the THUNARX_MAJOR_VERSION macro, which represents the major version of the

thunarx headers you have

included.


thunarx_minor_version

extern const guint thunarx_minor_version;

The minor version number of the

thunarx library (e.g. in

version 0.5.1 this is 5).

This variable is in the library, so represents the

thunarx library you have

linked against. Contrast with the THUNARX_MINOR_VERSION macro, which represents the minor version of the

thunarx headers you have

included.


thunarx_micro_version

extern const guint thunarx_micro_version;

The micro version number of the

thunarx library (e.g. in

version 0.5.1 this is 1).

This variable is in the library, so represents the

thunarx library you have

linked against. Contrast with the THUNARX_MICRO_VERSION macro, which represents the micro version of the

thunarx headers you have

included.
