47 * SECTION:gresource
48 * @short_description: Resource framework
49 * @include: gio/gio.h
51 * Applications and libraries often contain binary or textual data that is
52 * really part of the application, rather than user data. For instance
53 * #GtkBuilder .ui files, splashscreen images, GMenu markup XML, CSS files,
54 * icons, etc. These are often shipped as files in `$datadir/appname`, or
55 * manually included as literal strings in the code.
57 * The #GResource API and the [glib-compile-resources][glib-compile-resources] program
58 * provide a convenient and efficient alternative to this which has some nice properties. You
59 * maintain the files as normal files, so its easy to edit them, but during the build the files
60 * are combined into a binary bundle that is linked into the executable. This means that loading
61 * the resource files are efficient (as they are already in memory, shared with other instances) and
62 * simple (no need to check for things like I/O errors or locate the files in the filesystem). It
63 * also makes it easier to create relocatable applications.
65 * Resource files can also be marked as compressed. Such files will be included in the resource bundle
66 * in a compressed form, but will be automatically uncompressed when the resource is used. This
67 * is very useful e.g. for larger text files that are parsed once (or rarely) and then thrown away.
69 * Resource files can also be marked to be preprocessed, by setting the value of the
70 * `preprocess` attribute to a comma-separated list of preprocessing options.
71 * The only options currently supported are:
73 * `xml-stripblanks` which will use the xmllint command
74 * to strip ignorable whitespace from the XML file. For this to work,
75 * the `XMLLINT` environment variable must be set to the full path to
76 * the xmllint executable, or xmllint must be in the `PATH`; otherwise
77 * the preprocessing step is skipped.
79 * `to-pixdata` which will use the gdk-pixbuf-pixdata command to convert
80 * images to the GdkPixdata format, which allows you to create pixbufs directly using the data inside
81 * the resource file, rather than an (uncompressed) copy if it. For this, the gdk-pixbuf-pixdata
82 * program must be in the PATH, or the `GDK_PIXBUF_PIXDATA` environment variable must be
83 * set to the full path to the gdk-pixbuf-pixdata executable; otherwise the resource compiler will
84 * abort.
86 * Resource bundles are created by the [glib-compile-resources][glib-compile-resources] program
87 * which takes an XML file that describes the bundle, and a set of files that the XML references. These
88 * are combined into a binary resource bundle.
90 * An example resource description:
91 * |[
92 * <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
93 * <gresources>
94 * <gresource prefix="/org/gtk/Example">
95 * <file>data/splashscreen.png</file>
96 * <file compressed="true">dialog.ui</file>
97 * <file preprocess="xml-stripblanks">menumarkup.xml</file>
98 * </gresource>
99 * </gresources>
100 * ]|
102 * This will create a resource bundle with the following files:
103 * |[
104 * /org/gtk/Example/data/splashscreen.png
105 * /org/gtk/Example/dialog.ui
106 * /org/gtk/Example/menumarkup.xml
107 * ]|
109 * Note that all resources in the process share the same namespace, so use Java-style
110 * path prefixes (like in the above example) to avoid conflicts.
112 * You can then use [glib-compile-resources][glib-compile-resources] to compile the XML to a
113 * binary bundle that you can load with g_resource_load(). However, its more common to use the --generate-source and
114 * --generate-header arguments to create a source file and header to link directly into your application.
115 * This will generate `get_resource()`, `register_resource()` and
116 * `unregister_resource()` functions, prefixed by the `--c-name` argument passed
117 * to [glib-compile-resources][glib-compile-resources]. `get_resource()` returns
118 * the generated #GResource object. The register and unregister functions
119 * register the resource so its files can be accessed using
120 * g_resources_lookup_data().
122 * Once a #GResource has been created and registered all the data in it can be accessed globally in the process by
123 * using API calls like g_resources_open_stream() to stream the data or g_resources_lookup_data() to get a direct pointer
124 * to the data. You can also use URIs like "resource:///org/gtk/Example/data/splashscreen.png" with #GFile to access
125 * the resource data.
127 * There are two forms of the generated source, the default version uses the compiler support for constructor
128 * and destructor functions (where available) to automatically create and register the #GResource on startup
129 * or library load time. If you pass --manual-register two functions to register/unregister the resource is instead
130 * created. This requires an explicit initialization call in your application/library, but it works on all platforms,
131 * even on the minor ones where this is not available. (Constructor support is available for at least Win32, Mac OS and Linux.)
133 * Note that resource data can point directly into the data segment of e.g. a library, so if you are unloading libraries
134 * during runtime you need to be very careful with keeping around pointers to data from a resource, as this goes away
135 * when the library is unloaded. However, in practice this is not generally a problem, since most resource accesses
136 * is for your own resources, and resource data is often used once, during parsing, and then released.
138 * When debugging a program or testing a change to an installed version, it is often useful to be able to
139 * replace resources in the program or library, without recompiling, for debugging or quick hacking and testing
140 * purposes.
142 * Since GLib 2.50, it is possible to use the `G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS` environment variable to selectively overlay
143 * resources with replacements from the filesystem. It is a colon-separated list of substitutions to perform
144 * during resource lookups.
146 * A substitution has the form
148 * |[
149 * /org/gtk/libgtk=/home/desrt/gtk-overlay
150 * ]|
152 * The part before the `=` is the resource subpath for which the overlay applies. The part after is a
153 * filesystem path which contains files and subdirectories as you would like to be loaded as resources with the
154 * equivalent names.
156 * In the example above, if an application tried to load a resource with the resource path
157 * `/org/gtk/libgtk/ui/gtkdialog.ui` then GResource would check the filesystem path
158 * `/home/desrt/gtk-overlay/ui/gtkdialog.ui`. If a file was found there, it would be used instead. This is an
159 * overlay, not an outright replacement, which means that if a file is not found at that path, the built-in
160 * version will be used instead. Whiteouts are not currently supported.
162 * Substitutions must start with a slash, and must not contain a trailing slash before the '='. The path after
163 * the slash should ideally be absolute, but this is not strictly required. It is possible to overlay the
164 * location of a single resource with an individual file.
166 * Since: 2.32
170 * GStaticResource:
172 * #GStaticResource is an opaque data structure and can only be accessed
173 * using the following functions.
