Overview
vala-gen-introspect is a utility which generates GI files from GObject and glib based packages. It can be used in combination with vapigen(1) to generate an API for Vala, and allow its usage in Vala for compiling to native code.

Examples
After compilation, the following command generates a GI for pango: vala-gen-introspect pango packages/pango
