public class BaseInfo

GIBaseInfo is the common base struct of all other Info structs accessible through the Repository API.

All info structures can be cast to a BaseInfo, for instance:

   GIFunctionInfo *function_info = ...;
   GIBaseInfo *info = (GIBaseInfo *) function_info;

Most Repository APIs returning a BaseInfo is actually creating a new struct; in other words, g_base_info_unref has to be called when done accessing the data.

BaseInfo structuress are normally accessed by calling either find_by_name, find_by_gtype or get_info.

GIBaseInfo *button_info =
  g_irepository_find_by_name (NULL, "Gtk", "Button");

// ... use button_info ...

g_base_info_unref (button_info);
