226 * @expected_type: the #GVariantType to create
227 * @user_data: user data that was specified when the binding was created
229 * The type for the function that is used to convert an object property
230 * value to a #GVariant for storing it in #GSettings.
232 * Returns: a new #GVariant holding the data from @value,
233 * or %NULL in case of an error

241 * @value: return location for the property value
242 * @variant: the #GVariant
243 * @user_data: user data that was specified when the binding was created
245 * The type for the function that is used to convert from #GSettings to
246 * an object property. The @value is already initialized to hold values
247 * of the appropriate type.
249 * Returns: %TRUE if the conversion succeeded, %FALSE in case of an error

256 * GSettingsGetMapping:

258 * @result: (out): the result of the mapping
259 * @user_data: (closure): the user data that was passed to
260 * g_settings_get_mapped()
262 * The type of the function that is used to convert from a value stored
263 * in a #GSettings to a value that is useful to the application.
265 * If the value is successfully mapped, the result should be stored at
266 * @result and %TRUE returned. If mapping fails (for example, if @value
267 * is not in the right format) then %FALSE should be returned.
269 * If @value is %NULL then it means that the mapping function is being
270 * given a "last chance" to successfully return a valid value. %TRUE
271 * must be returned in this case.
273 * Returns: %TRUE if the conversion succeeded, %FALSE in case of an error
275 typedef gboolean (*GSettingsGetMapping) (GVariant *value,
276 gpointer *result,
277 gpointer user_data);
280 * GSettingsBindFlags:
281 * @G_SETTINGS_BIND_DEFAULT: Equivalent to `G_SETTINGS_BIND_GET|G_SETTINGS_BIND_SET`
282 * @G_SETTINGS_BIND_GET: Update the #GObject property when the setting changes.
283 * It is an error to use this flag if the property is not writable.
284 * @G_SETTINGS_BIND_SET: Update the setting when the #GObject property changes.
285 * It is an error to use this flag if the property is not readable.
286 * @G_SETTINGS_BIND_NO_SENSITIVITY: Do not try to bind a "sensitivity" property to the writability of the setting
287 * @G_SETTINGS_BIND_GET_NO_CHANGES: When set in addition to #G_SETTINGS_BIND_GET, set the #GObject property
288 * value initially from the setting, but do not listen for changes of the setting
289 * @G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN: When passed to g_settings_bind(), uses a pair of mapping functions that invert
290 * the boolean value when mapping between the setting and the property. The setting and property must both
291 * be booleans. You cannot pass this flag to g_settings_bind_with_mapping().
293 * Flags used when creating a binding. These flags determine in which
294 * direction the binding works. The default is to synchronize in both
295 * directions.
