/**
* SECTION:ginitable
* @short_description: Failable object initialization interface
* @include: gio/gio.h
* @see_also: #GAsyncInitable
*
* #GInitable is implemented by objects that can fail during
* initialization. If an object implements this interface then
* it must be initialized as the first thing after construction,
* either via g_initable_init() or g_async_initable_init_async()
* (the latter is only available if it also implements #GAsyncInitable).
*
* If the object is not initialized, or initialization returns with an
* error, then all operations on the object except g_object_ref() and
* g_object_unref() are considered to be invalid, and have undefined
* behaviour. They will often fail with g_critical() or g_warning(), but
* this must not be relied on.
*
* Users of objects implementing this are not intended to use
* the interface method directly, instead it will be used automatically
* in various ways. For C applications you generally just call
* g_initable_new() directly, or indirectly via a foo_thing_new() wrapper.
* This will call g_initable_init() under the cover, returning %NULL and
* setting a #GError on failure (at which point the instance is
* unreferenced).
*
* For bindings in languages where the native constructor supports
* exceptions the binding could check for objects implemention %GInitable
* during normal construction and automatically initialize them, throwing
* an exception on failure.

/**
* g_initable_init:
* @initable: a #GInitable.
* @cancellable: optional #GCancellable object, %NULL to ignore.
* @error: a #GError location to store the error occurring, or %NULL to
* ignore.
*
* Initializes the object implementing the interface.
*
* This method is intended for language bindings. If writing in C,
* g_initable_new() should typically be used instead.
*
* The object must be initialized before any real use after initial
* construction, either with this function or g_async_initable_init_async().
*
* Implementations may also support cancellation. If @cancellable is not %NULL,
* then initialization can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object
* from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error
* %G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned. If @cancellable is not %NULL and
* the object doesn't support cancellable initialization the error
* %G_IO_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED will be returned.
*
* If the object is not initialized, or initialization returns with an
* error, then all operations on the object except g_object_ref() and
* g_object_unref() are considered to be invalid, and have undefined
* behaviour. See the [introduction][ginitable] for more details.
*
* Callers should not assume that a class which implements #GInitable can be
* initialized multiple times, unless the class explicitly documents itself as
* supporting this. Generally, a class implementation of init() can assume
* (and assert) that it will only be called once. Previously, this documentation
* recommended all #GInitable implementations should be idempotent; that
* recommendation was relaxed in GLib 2.54.
*
* If a class explicitly supports being initialized multiple times, it is
* recommended that the method is idempotent: multiple calls with the same
* arguments should return the same results. Only the first call initializes
* the object; further calls return the result of the first call.
*
* One reason why a class might need to support idempotent initialization is if
* it is designed to be used via the singleton pattern, with a
* #GObjectClass.constructor that sometimes returns an existing instance.
* In this pattern, a caller would expect to be able to call g_initable_init()
* on the result of g_object_new(), regardless of whether it is in fact a new
* instance.
*
* Returns: %TRUE if successful. If an error has occurred, this function will
* return %FALSE and set @error appropriately if present.
*
* Since: 2.22
