public class Repository : Object

Repository is used to manage repositories of namespaces.

Namespaces are represented on disk by type libraries (.typelib files).

Repository will typically look for a `girepository-1.0` directory under the library directory used when compiling gobject-introspection.

It is possible to control the search paths programmatically, using prepend_search_path. It is also possible to modify the search paths by using the `GI_TYPELIB_PATH` environment variable. The environment variable takes precedence over the default search path and the prepend_search_path calls.

Namespace: GI
