NAMESPACE
Overview
g-ir-inspect displays information about GObject-Introspection binary typelib files. In GLib 2.80 and later versions, it is superseded by
<gi-inspect-typelib(1)> .
On Debian-derived systems, each architecture provides a version of g-ir-inspect prefixed with the DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE from dpkg-architecture(1), for example arm-linux-gnueabihf-g-ir-inspect. These architecture-prefixed names use appropriate search paths for the given architecture, and should be used when cross-compiling. Please see <file:///usr/share/doc/gobject-introspection/README.Debian.gz> for more details.
Options
-
--print-shlibs -
Show the shared libraries that implement the NAMESPACE.
-
--print-typelibs -
Show the other typelibs that the NAMESPACE depends on.
-
--version VERSION -
The version of each NAMESPACE to inspect. For example, the version of
Gio-2.0.typelibis2.0. If not specified, use the newest available version if there is more than one installed.
Examples
On Linux, the Gio-2.0 typelib is implemented by libgio-2.0.so.0:
$ g-ir-inspect --version 2.0 --print-shlibs Gio shlib: libgio-2.0.so.0
and it depends on GObject-2.0, GLib-2.0 and GModule-2.0:
$ g-ir-inspect --version 2.0 --print-typelibs Gio typelib: GObject-2.0 typelib: GLib-2.0 typelib: GModule-2.0
