<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_closure_ref ##### -->
<para>
Increment the reference count on a closure to force it staying
alive while the caller holds a pointer to it.
</para>

@closure: #GClosure to increment the reference count on
@Returns: The @closure passed in, for convenience


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_closure_sink ##### -->
<para>
Take over the initial ownership of a closure.
When closures are newly created, they get an initial reference count
of 1, eventhough no caller has yet invoked g_closure_ref() on the @closure.
Code entities that store closures for notification purposes are supposed
to call this function, for example like this:
<informalexample><programlisting>
static GClosure *notify_closure = NULL;
void
foo_notify_set_closure (GClosure *closure)
{
  if (notify_closure)
    g_closure_unref (notify_closure);
  notify_closure = closure;
  if (notify_closure)
    {
      g_closure_ref (notify_closure);
      g_closure_sink (notify_closure);
    }
}
</programlisting></informalexample>
Because g_closure_sink() may decrement the reference count of a closure
(if it hasn't been called on @closure yet) just like g_closure_unref(),
g_closure_ref() should be called prior to this function.
</para>

@closure: #GClosure to decrement the initial reference count on, if it's
          still being held


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_closure_unref ##### -->
<para>
Decrement the reference count of a closure after it was
previously incremented by the same caller. The closure
will most likely be destroyed and freed after this function
returns.
</para>

@closure: #GClosure to decrement the reference count on


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_closure_invoke ##### -->

</para>

@invocation_hint: 


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_closure_invalidate ##### -->
<para>
This function sets a flag on the closure to indicate that it's
calling environment has become invalid, and thus causes any future
invocations of g_closure_invoke() on this @closure to be ignored.
Also, invalidation notifiers installed on the closure will be called
at this point, and since invalidation notifiers may unreference
the closure, @closure should be considered an invalidated pointer
atfer this function, unles g_closure_ref() was called beforehand.
