 * @include: girepository.h
 *
 * #GIRepository is used to manage repositories of namespaces. Namespaces
 * are represented on disk by type libraries (.typelib files).
 *
 * ### Discovery of type libraries
 *
 * #GIRepository will typically look for a `girepository-1.0` directory
 * under the library directory used when compiling gobject-introspection.
 *
 * It is possible to control the search paths programmatically, using
 * gi_repository_prepend_search_path(). It is also possible to modify
 * the search paths by using the `GI_TYPELIB_PATH` environment variable.
 * The environment variable takes precedence over the default search path
 * and the gi_repository_prepend_search_path() calls.
