<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
Metadata for parameter specifications
<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
#GParamSpec is an object structure that encapsulates the metadata
required to specify parameters, such as e.g. #GObject properties.
</para>
<para id="canonical-parameter-name">
Parameter names need to start with a letter (a-z or A-Z). Subsequent
characters can be letters, numbers or a '-'.
All other characters are replaced by a '-' during construction.
The result of this replacement is called the canonical name of the
parameter.

can be configured.
</para>
@G_PARAM_READABLE: the parameter is readable
@G_PARAM_WRITABLE: the parameter is writable
@G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT: the parameter will be set upon object construction

</para>
<!-- ##### MACRO G_PARAM_USER_SHIFT ##### -->
<para>

</para>
<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_param_spec_ref ##### -->
<para>
Increments the reference count of @pspec.
</para>
@pspec: a valid #GParamSpec
@Returns: the #GParamSpec that was passed into this function
<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_param_spec_unref ##### -->
<para>
Decrements the reference count of a @pspec.
</para>
@pspec: a valid #GParamSpec
<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_param_spec_sink ##### -->
<para>
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
<literal>g_param_spec_ref (pspec); g_param_spec_sink (pspec);</literal>
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).
</para>
@pspec: a valid #GParamSpec
<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_param_spec_ref_sink ##### -->
<para>
Convenience function to ref and sink a #GParamSpec.
</para>
@pspec: a valid #GParamSpec
@Returns: the #GParamSpec that was passed into this function
@Since: 2.10
<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_param_value_set_default ##### -->
<para>
Sets @value to its default value as specified in @pspec.
</para>
@pspec: a valid #GParamSpec
@value: a #GValue of correct type for @pspec
<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_param_value_defaults ##### -->
<para>
Checks whether @value contains the default value as specified in @pspec.
</para>
@pspec: a valid #GParamSpec
@value: a #GValue of correct type for @pspec
@Returns: whether @value contains the canonical default for this @pspec
<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_param_value_validate ##### -->
<para>
Ensures that the contents of @value comply with the specifications
set out by @pspec. For example, a #GParamSpecInt might require
that integers stored in @value may not be smaller than -42 and not be
greater than +42. If @value contains an integer outside of this range,
it is modified accordingly, so the resulting value will fit into the
range -42 .. +42.
</para>
@pspec: a valid #GParamSpec
@value: a #GValue of correct type for @pspec
@Returns: whether modifying @value was necessary to ensure validity
<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_param_value_convert ##### -->
<para>
Transforms @src_value into @dest_value if possible, and then validates
@dest_value, in order for it to conform to @pspec.
If @strict_validation is %TRUE this function will only succeed if
the transformed @dest_value complied to @pspec without modifications.
See also g_value_type_transformable(), g_value_transform() and
g_param_value_validate().
</para>
@pspec: a valid #GParamSpec
@src_value: souce #GValue
@dest_value: destination #GValue of correct type for @pspec
@strict_validation: %TRUE requires @dest_value to conform to @pspec without modifications
@Returns: %TRUE if transformation and validation were successful,
%FALSE otherwise and @dest_value is left untouched.
<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_param_values_cmp ##### -->
<para>
Compares @value1 with @value2 according to @pspec, and return -1, 0 or +1,
if @value1 is found to be less than, equal to or greater than @value2,
respectively.
</para>
@pspec: a valid #GParamSpec
@value1: a #GValue of correct type for @pspec
@value2: a #GValue of correct type for @pspec
@Returns: -1, 0 or +1, for a less than, equal to or greater than result
<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_param_spec_get_name ##### -->
<para>
Returns the name of a #GParamSpec.
</para>
@pspec: a valid #GParamSpec
@Returns: the name of @pspec.
<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_param_spec_get_nick ##### -->
<para>
Returns the nickname of a #GParamSpec.
</para>
@pspec: a valid #GParamSpec
@Returns: the nickname of @pspec.
<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_param_spec_get_blurb ##### -->
<para>
Returns the short description of a #GParamSpec.
</para>
@pspec: a valid #GParamSpec
@Returns: the short description of @pspec.
<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_param_spec_get_qdata ##### -->
<para>
Gets back user data pointers stored via g_param_spec_set_qdata().
</para>
@pspec: a valid #GParamSpec
@quark: a #GQuark, naming the user data pointer
@Returns: the user data pointer set, or %NULL
<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_param_spec_set_qdata ##### -->
<para>
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.
</para>
@pspec: the #GParamSpec to set store a user data pointer
@quark: a #GQuark, naming the user data pointer
@data: an opaque user data pointer
<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_param_spec_set_qdata_full ##### -->
<para>
This function works like g_param_spec_set_qdata(), but in addition,
a <literal>void (*destroy) (gpointer)</literal> function may be
specified which is called with @data as argument when the @pspec is
finalized, or the data is being overwritten by a call to
g_param_spec_set_qdata() with the same @quark.
</para>
@pspec: the #GParamSpec to set store a user data pointer
@quark: a #GQuark, naming the user data pointer
@data: an opaque user data pointer
@destroy: function to invoke with @data as argument, when @data needs to
be freed
<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_param_spec_steal_qdata ##### -->
<para>
Gets back user data pointers stored via g_param_spec_set_qdata() and
removes the @data from @pspec without invoking it's destroy() function
(if any was set).
Usually, calling this function is only required to update
user data pointers with a destroy notifier.
</para>
@pspec: the #GParamSpec to get a stored user data pointer from
@quark: a #GQuark, naming the user data pointer
@Returns: the user data pointer set, or %NULL
<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_param_spec_get_redirect_target ##### -->
<para>
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.
</para>
@pspec: a #GParamSpec
@Returns: paramspec to which requests on this paramspec should
be redirected, or %NULL if none.
@Since: 2.4
<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_param_spec_internal ##### -->
<para>
Creates a new #GParamSpec instance.
</para>
<para>
A property name consists of segments consisting of ASCII letters and
digits, separated by either the '-' or '_' character. The first
character of a property name must be a letter. Names which violate these
rules lead to undefined behaviour.
</para>
<para>
When creating and looking up a #GParamSpec, either separator can be used,
but they cannot be mixed. Using '-' is considerably more efficient and in
fact required when using property names as detail strings for signals.
</para>
<para>
Beyond the name, #GParamSpec<!-- -->s have two more descriptive strings
associated with them, the @nick, which should be suitable for use as
a label for the property in a property editor, and the @blurb, which should
be a somewhat longer description, suitable for e.g. a tooltip. The @nick
and @blurb should ideally be localized.
</para>
@param_type: the #GType for the property; must be derived from #G_TYPE_PARAM
@name: the canonical name of the property
@nick: the nickname of the property
@blurb: a short description of the property
@flags: a combination of #GParamFlags
@Returns: a newly allocated #GParamSpec instance
<!-- ##### STRUCT GParamSpecTypeInfo ##### -->
<para>
This structure is used to provide the type system with the information
required to initialize and destruct (finalize) a parameter's class and
instances thereof.
The initialized structure is passed to the g_param_type_register_static()
The type system will perform a deep copy of this structure, so it's memory
does not need to be persistent across invocation of
g_param_type_register_static().
</para>
@instance_size: Size of the instance (object) structure.
@n_preallocs: Prior to GLib 2.10, it specified the number of pre-allocated (cached) instances to reserve memory for (0 indicates no caching). Since GLib 2.10, it is ignored, since instances are allocated with the <link linkend="glib-Memory-Slices">slice allocator</link> now.
@instance_init: Location of the instance initialization function (optional).
@value_type: The #GType of values conforming to this #GParamSpec
@finalize: The instance finalization function (optional).
@value_set_default: Resets a @value to the default value for @pspec
(recommended, the default is g_value_reset()), see
g_param_value_set_default().
@value_validate: Ensures that the contents of @value comply with the
specifications set out by @pspec (optional), see
g_param_value_set_validate().
@values_cmp: Compares @value1 with @value2 according to @pspec
(recommended, the default is memcmp()), see g_param_values_cmp().
<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_param_type_register_static ##### -->
<para>
Registers @name as the name of a new static type derived from
#G_TYPE_PARAM. The type system uses the information contained in the
#GParamSpecTypeInfo structure pointed to by @info to manage the #GParamSpec
type and its instances.
</para>
@name: 0-terminated string used as the name of the new #GParamSpec type.
@pspec_info: The #GParamSpecTypeInfo for this #GParamSpec type.
@Returns: The new type identifier.
<!-- ##### STRUCT GParamSpecPool ##### -->
<para>
A #GParamSpecPool maintains a collection of #GParamSpec<!-- -->s which can be
quickly accessed by owner and name. The implementation of the #GObject property
system uses such a pool to store the #GParamSpecs of the properties all object
types.
</para>
<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_param_spec_pool_new ##### -->
<para>
Creates a new #GParamSpecPool.
</para>
<para>
If @type_prefixing is %TRUE, lookups in the newly created pool will
allow to specify the owner as a colon-separated prefix of the property name,
like "GtkContainer:border-width". This feature is deprecated, so you should
always set @type_prefixing to %FALSE.
</para>
@type_prefixing: Whether the pool will support type-prefixed property names.
@Returns: a newly allocated #GParamSpecPool.
<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_param_spec_pool_insert ##### -->
<para>
Inserts a #GParamSpec in the pool.
</para>
@pool: a #GParamSpecPool.
@pspec: the #GParamSpec to insert
@owner_type: a #GType identifying the owner of @pspec
<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_param_spec_pool_remove ##### -->
<para>
Removes a #GParamSpec from the pool.
</para>
@pool: a #GParamSpecPool
@pspec: the #GParamSpec to remove
<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_param_spec_pool_lookup ##### -->
<para>
Looks up a #GParamSpec in the pool.
</para>
@pool: a #GParamSpecPool
@param_name: the name to look for
@owner_type: the owner to look for
@walk_ancestors: If %TRUE, also try to find a #GParamSpec with @param_name
owned by an ancestor of @owner_type.
@Returns: The found #GParamSpec, or %NULL if no matching #GParamSpec was found.
<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_param_spec_pool_list ##### -->
<para>
Gets an array of all #GParamSpec<!-- -->s owned by @owner_type in the pool.
</para>
@pool: a #GParamSpecPool
@owner_type: the owner to look for
@n_pspecs_p: return location for the length of the returned array
@Returns: a newly allocated array containing pointers to all
#GParamSpec<!-- -->s owned by @owner_type in the pool
<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_param_spec_pool_list_owned ##### -->
<para>
Gets an #GList of all #GParamSpec<!-- -->s owned by @owner_type in the pool.
</para>
@pool: a #GParamSpecPool
@owner_type: the owner to look for
@Returns: a #GList of all #GParamSpec<!-- -->s owned by @owner_type in
the pool#GParamSpec<!-- -->s.
