45 * SECTION:gapplication
46 * @title: GApplication
47 * @short_description: Core application class
50 * A #GApplication is the foundation of an application. It wraps some
51 * low-level platform-specific services and is intended to act as the
52 * foundation for higher-level application classes such as
53 * #GtkApplication or #MxApplication. In general, you should not use
54 * this class outside of a higher level framework.
56 * GApplication provides convenient life cycle management by maintaining
57 * a "use count" for the primary application instance. The use count can
58 * be changed using g_application_hold() and g_application_release(). If
59 * it drops to zero, the application exits. Higher-level classes such as
60 * #GtkApplication employ the use count to ensure that the application
61 * stays alive as long as it has any opened windows.
63 * Another feature that GApplication (optionally) provides is process
64 * uniqueness. Applications can make use of this functionality by
65 * providing a unique application ID. If given, only one application
66 * with this ID can be running at a time per session. The session
67 * concept is platform-dependent, but corresponds roughly to a graphical
68 * desktop login. When your application is launched again, its
69 * arguments are passed through platform communication to the already
70 * running program. The already running instance of the program is
71 * called the "primary instance"; for non-unique applications this is
72 * the always the current instance. On Linux, the D-Bus session bus
73 * is used for communication.
75 * The use of #GApplication differs from some other commonly-used
76 * uniqueness libraries (such as libunique) in important ways. The
77 * application is not expected to manually register itself and check
78 * if it is the primary instance. Instead, the main() function of a
79 * #GApplication should do very little more than instantiating the
80 * application instance, possibly connecting signal handlers, then
81 * calling g_application_run(). All checks for uniqueness are done
82 * internally. If the application is the primary instance then the
83 * startup signal is emitted and the mainloop runs. If the application
84 * is not the primary instance then a signal is sent to the primary
85 * instance and g_application_run() promptly returns. See the code
88 * If used, the expected form of an application identifier is the same as
90 * [D-Bus well-known bus name](https://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#message-protocol-names-bus).
91 * Examples include: `com.example.MyApp`, `org.example.internal_apps.Calculator`,
92 * `org._7_zip.Archiver`.
93 * For details on valid application identifiers, see g_application_id_is_valid().
95 * On Linux, the application identifier is claimed as a well-known bus name
96 * on the user's session bus. This means that the uniqueness of your
97 * application is scoped to the current session. It also means that your
98 * application may provide additional services (through registration of other
99 * object paths) at that bus name. The registration of these object paths
100 * should be done with the shared GDBus session bus. Note that due to the
101 * internal architecture of GDBus, method calls can be dispatched at any time
102 * (even if a main loop is not running). For this reason, you must ensure that
103 * any object paths that you wish to register are registered before #GApplication
104 * attempts to acquire the bus name of your application (which happens in
105 * g_application_register()). Unfortunately, this means that you cannot use
106 * g_application_get_is_remote() to decide if you want to register object paths.
108 * GApplication also implements the #GActionGroup and #GActionMap
109 * interfaces and lets you easily export actions by adding them with
110 * g_action_map_add_action(). When invoking an action by calling
111 * g_action_group_activate_action() on the application, it is always
112 * invoked in the primary instance. The actions are also exported on
113 * the session bus, and GIO provides the #GDBusActionGroup wrapper to
114 * conveniently access them remotely. GIO provides a #GDBusMenuModel wrapper
115 * for remote access to exported #GMenuModels.
117 * There is a number of different entry points into a GApplication:
119 * - via 'Activate' (i.e. just starting the application)
121 * - via 'Open' (i.e. opening some files)
123 * - by handling a command-line
125 * - via activating an action
127 * The #GApplication::startup signal lets you handle the application
128 * initialization for all of these in a single place.
130 * Regardless of which of these entry points is used to start the
131 * application, GApplication passes some "platform data from the
132 * launching instance to the primary instance, in the form of a
133 * #GVariant dictionary mapping strings to variants. To use platform
134 * data, override the @before_emit or @after_emit virtual functions
135 * in your #GApplication subclass. When dealing with
136 * #GApplicationCommandLine objects, the platform data is
137 * directly available via g_application_command_line_get_cwd(),
138 * g_application_command_line_get_environ() and
139 * g_application_command_line_get_platform_data().
141 * As the name indicates, the platform data may vary depending on the
142 * operating system, but it always includes the current directory (key
143 * "cwd"), and optionally the environment (ie the set of environment
144 * variables and their values) of the calling process (key "environ").
145 * The environment is only added to the platform data if the
146 * %G_APPLICATION_SEND_ENVIRONMENT flag is set. #GApplication subclasses
147 * can add their own platform data by overriding the @add_platform_data
148 * virtual function. For instance, #GtkApplication adds startup notification
151 * To parse commandline arguments you may handle the
152 * #GApplication::command-line signal or override the local_command_line()
153 * vfunc, to parse them in either the primary instance or the local instance,
156 * For an example of opening files with a GApplication, see
157 * [gapplication-example-open.c](https://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/tree/gio/tests/gapplication-example-open.c).
159 * For an example of using actions with GApplication, see
160 * [gapplication-example-actions.c](https://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/tree/gio/tests/gapplication-example-actions.c).
162 * For an example of using extra D-Bus hooks with GApplication, see
163 * [gapplication-example-dbushooks.c](https://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/tree/gio/tests/gapplication-example-dbushooks.c).
169 * #GApplication is an opaque data structure and can only be accessed
170 * using the following functions.
176 * @startup: invoked on the primary instance immediately after registration
177 * @shutdown: invoked only on the registered primary instance immediately
178 * after the main loop terminates
179 * @activate: invoked on the primary instance when an activation occurs
180 * @open: invoked on the primary instance when there are files to open
181 * @command_line: invoked on the primary instance when a command-line is
182 * not handled locally
183 * @local_command_line: invoked (locally). The virtual function has the chance
184 * to inspect (and possibly replace) command line arguments. See
185 * g_application_run() for more information. Also see the
186 * #GApplication::handle-local-options signal, which is a simpler
187 * alternative to handling some commandline options locally
188 * @before_emit: invoked on the primary instance before 'activate', 'open',
189 * 'command-line' or any action invocation, gets the 'platform data' from
190 * the calling instance
191 * @after_emit: invoked on the primary instance after 'activate', 'open',
192 * 'command-line' or any action invocation, gets the 'platform data' from
193 * the calling instance
194 * @add_platform_data: invoked (locally) to add 'platform data' to be sent to
195 * the primary instance when activating, opening or invoking actions
196 * @quit_mainloop: Used to be invoked on the primary instance when the use
197 * count of the application drops to zero (and after any inactivity
198 * timeout, if requested). Not used anymore since 2.32
199 * @run_mainloop: Used to be invoked on the primary instance from
200 * g_application_run() if the use-count is non-zero. Since 2.32,
201 * GApplication is iterating the main context directly and is not
202 * using @run_mainloop anymore
203 * @dbus_register: invoked locally during registration, if the application is
204 * using its D-Bus backend. You can use this to export extra objects on the
205 * bus, that need to exist before the application tries to own the bus name.
206 * The function is passed the #GDBusConnection to to session bus, and the
207 * object path that #GApplication will use to export is D-Bus API.
208 * If this function returns %TRUE, registration will proceed; otherwise
209 * registration will abort. Since: 2.34
210 * @dbus_unregister: invoked locally during unregistration, if the application
211 * is using its D-Bus backend. Use this to undo anything done by the
212 * @dbus_register vfunc. Since: 2.34
213 * @handle_local_options: invoked locally after the parsing of the commandline
214 * options has occurred. Since: 2.40
216 * Virtual function table for #GApplication.

643 * #GApplication::handle-local-options signal will be emitted. At this
644 * point, the application can inspect the values pointed to by @arg_data
645 * in the given #GOptionEntrys.
647 * Unlike #GOptionContext, #GApplication supports giving a %NULL
648 * @arg_data for a non-callback #GOptionEntry. This results in the
649 * argument in question being packed into a #GVariantDict which is also
650 * passed to #GApplication::handle-local-options, where it can be
651 * inspected and modified. If %G_APPLICATION_HANDLES_COMMAND_LINE is
652 * set, then the resulting dictionary is sent to the primary instance,
653 * where g_application_command_line_get_options_dict() will return it.
654 * This "packing" is done according to the type of the argument --
655 * booleans for normal flags, strings for strings, bytestrings for
656 * filenames, etc. The packing only occurs if the flag is given (ie: we
657 * do not pack a "false" #GVariant in the case that a flag is missing).
659 * In general, it is recommended that all commandline arguments are
660 * parsed locally. The options dictionary should then be used to
661 * transmit the result of the parsing to the primary instance, where
662 * g_variant_dict_lookup() can be used. For local options, it is
663 * possible to either use @arg_data in the usual way, or to consult (and
664 * potentially remove) the option from the options dictionary.
666 * This function is new in GLib 2.40. Before then, the only real choice
667 * was to send all of the commandline arguments (options and all) to the
668 * primary instance for handling. #GApplication ignored them completely
669 * on the local side. Calling this function "opts in" to the new
670 * behaviour, and in particular, means that unrecognised options will be
671 * treated as errors. Unrecognised options have never been ignored when
672 * %G_APPLICATION_HANDLES_COMMAND_LINE is unset.
674 * If #GApplication::handle-local-options needs to see the list of
675 * filenames, then the use of %G_OPTION_REMAINING is recommended. If
676 * @arg_data is %NULL then %G_OPTION_REMAINING can be used as a key into
677 * the options dictionary. If you do use %G_OPTION_REMAINING then you
678 * need to handle these arguments for yourself because once they are
679 * consumed, they will no longer be visible to the default handling
680 * (which treats them as filenames to be opened).
682 * It is important to use the proper GVariant format when retrieving
683 * the options with g_variant_dict_lookup():
684 * - for %G_OPTION_ARG_NONE, use b
685 * - for %G_OPTION_ARG_STRING, use &s
686 * - for %G_OPTION_ARG_INT, use i
687 * - for %G_OPTION_ARG_INT64, use x
688 * - for %G_OPTION_ARG_DOUBLE, use d
689 * - for %G_OPTION_ARG_FILENAME, use ^ay
690 * - for %G_OPTION_ARG_STRING_ARRAY, use &as
691 * - for %G_OPTION_ARG_FILENAME_ARRAY, use ^aay

1645 * [D-Bus well-known bus names](https://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#message-protocol-names-bus).
1646 * For convenience, the restrictions on application identifiers are
1649 * - Application identifiers are composed of 1 or more elements separated by a
1650 * period (`.`) character. All elements must contain at least one character.
1652 * - Each element must only contain the ASCII characters `[A-Z][a-z][0-9]_-`,
1653 * with `-` discouraged in new application identifiers. Each element must not
1654 * begin with a digit.
1656 * - Application identifiers must contain at least one `.` (period) character
1657 * (and thus at least two elements).
1659 * - Application identifiers must not begin with a `.` (period) character.
1661 * - Application identifiers must not exceed 255 characters.
1663 * Note that the hyphen (`-`) character is allowed in application identifiers,
1664 * but is problematic or not allowed in various specifications and APIs that
1665 * refer to D-Bus, such as
1666 * [Flatpak application IDs](http://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/introduction.html#identifiers),
1668 * [`DBusActivatable` interface in the Desktop Entry Specification](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html#dbus),
1669 * and the convention that an application's "main" interface and object path
1670 * resemble its application identifier and bus name. To avoid situations that
1671 * require special-case handling, it is recommended that new application
1672 * identifiers consistently replace hyphens with underscores.
1674 * Like D-Bus interface names, application identifiers should start with the
1675 * reversed DNS domain name of the author of the interface (in lower-case), and
1676 * it is conventional for the rest of the application identifier to consist of
1677 * words run together, with initial capital letters.
1679 * As with D-Bus interface names, if the author's DNS domain name contains
1680 * hyphen/minus characters they should be replaced by underscores, and if it
1681 * contains leading digits they should be escaped by prepending an underscore.
1682 * For example, if the owner of 7-zip.org used an application identifier for an
1683 * archiving application, it might be named `org._7_zip.Archiver`.

2294 * This function is intended to be run from main() and its return value
2295 * is intended to be returned by main(). Although you are expected to pass
2296 * the @argc, @argv parameters from main() to this function, it is possible
2297 * to pass %NULL if @argv is not available or commandline handling is not
2298 * required. Note that on Windows, @argc and @argv are ignored, and
2299 * g_win32_get_command_line() is called internally (for proper support
2300 * of Unicode commandline arguments).
2302 * #GApplication will attempt to parse the commandline arguments. You
2303 * can add commandline flags to the list of recognised options by way of
2304 * g_application_add_main_option_entries(). After this, the
2305 * #GApplication::handle-local-options signal is emitted, from which the
2306 * application can inspect the values of its #GOptionEntrys.
2308 * #GApplication::handle-local-options is a good place to handle options
2309 * such as `--version`, where an immediate reply from the local process is
2310 * desired (instead of communicating with an already-running instance).
2311 * A #GApplication::handle-local-options handler can stop further processing
2312 * by returning a non-negative value, which then becomes the exit status of
2315 * What happens next depends on the flags: if
2316 * %G_APPLICATION_HANDLES_COMMAND_LINE was specified then the remaining
2317 * commandline arguments are sent to the primary instance, where a
2318 * #GApplication::command-line signal is emitted. Otherwise, the
2319 * remaining commandline arguments are assumed to be a list of files.
2320 * If there are no files listed, the application is activated via the
2321 * #GApplication::activate signal. If there are one or more files, and
2322 * %G_APPLICATION_HANDLES_OPEN was specified then the files are opened
2323 * via the #GApplication::open signal.
2325 * If you are interested in doing more complicated local handling of the
2326 * commandline then you should implement your own #GApplication subclass
2327 * and override local_command_line(). In this case, you most likely want
2328 * to return %TRUE from your local_command_line() implementation to
2329 * suppress the default handling. See
2330 * [gapplication-example-cmdline2.c][gapplication-example-cmdline2]
2333 * If, after the above is done, the use count of the application is zero
2334 * then the exit status is returned immediately. If the use count is
2335 * non-zero then the default main context is iterated until the use count
2336 * falls to zero, at which point 0 is returned.
2338 * If the %G_APPLICATION_IS_SERVICE flag is set, then the service will
2339 * run for as much as 10 seconds with a use count of zero while waiting
2340 * for the message that caused the activation to arrive. After that,
2341 * if the use count falls to zero the application will exit immediately,
2342 * except in the case that g_application_set_inactivity_timeout() is in
2345 * This function sets the prgname (g_set_prgname()), if not already set,
2346 * to the basename of argv[0].
2348 * Much like g_main_loop_run(), this function will acquire the main context
2349 * for the duration that the application is running.
2351 * Since 2.40, applications that are not explicitly flagged as services
2352 * or launchers (ie: neither %G_APPLICATION_IS_SERVICE or
2353 * %G_APPLICATION_IS_LAUNCHER are given as flags) will check (from the
2354 * default handler for local_command_line) if "--gapplication-service"
2355 * was given in the command line. If this flag is present then normal
2356 * commandline processing is interrupted and the
2357 * %G_APPLICATION_IS_SERVICE flag is set. This provides a "compromise"
2358 * solution whereby running an application directly from the commandline
2359 * will invoke it in the normal way (which can be useful for debugging)
2360 * while still allowing applications to be D-Bus activated in service
2361 * mode. The D-Bus service file should invoke the executable with
2362 * "--gapplication-service" as the sole commandline argument. This
2363 * approach is suitable for use by most graphical applications but
2364 * should not be used from applications like editors that need precise
2365 * control over when processes invoked via the commandline will exit and
2366 * what their exit status will be.
