Classes:

• ArgInfo - Represents an argument.
• BaseInfo - GIBaseInfo is the common base struct of all other Info structs accessible through the Repository API.
• CallableInfo - Represents a callable, either FunctionInfo, CallbackInfo or VFuncInfo.
• CallbackInfo - Represents a callback, eg arguments and return value.
• ConstantInfo - Represents a constant.
• EnumInfo - Represents an enum or a flag.
• FieldInfo - Represents a field of a StructInfo or a UnionInfo.
• FunctionInfo - Represents a function, eg arguments and return value.
• InterfaceInfo - Represents an interface.
• ObjectInfo - Represents an object.
• PropertyInfo - Represents a property of a ObjectInfo or a InterfaceInfo.
• RegisteredTypeInfo - Represent a registered type.
• Repository - Repository is used to manage repositories of namespaces.
• SignalInfo - Represents a signal.
• StructInfo - Represents a struct.
• TypeInfo - Represents type information, direction, transfer etc.
• Typelib - TODO
• UnionInfo - Represents a union.
• UnresolvedInfo - Represents a unresolved type in a typelib.
• VFuncInfo - Represents a virtual function.
• ValueInfo - Represents a enum value of a EnumInfo.

Structs:

• Argument - Stores an argument of varying type
• AttributeIter - An opaque structure used to iterate over attributes in a BaseInfo struct.

Enums:

• ArrayType - The type of array in a TypeInfo.
• Direction - The direction of a ArgInfo.
• FieldInfoFlags - Flags for a FieldInfo.
• FunctionInfoFlags - Flags for a FunctionInfo struct.
• InfoType - The type of a GIBaseInfo struct.
• RepositoryLoadFlags - Flags that control how a typelib is loaded.
• ScopeType - Scope type of a ArgInfo representing callback, determines how the callback is invoked and is used to decided when the invoke structs can be freed.
• Transfer - The transfer is the exchange of data between two parts, from the callee to the caller.
• TypeTag - The type tag of a TypeInfo.
• VFuncInfoFlags - Flags of a VFuncInfo struct.

Error domains:

• InvokeError - An error occuring while invoking a function via invoke.
• RepositoryError - An error code used with G_IREPOSITORY_ERROR in a Error returned from a Repository routine.

Constants:

• public const int MAJOR_VERSION
  The major version number of the girepository library.
• public const int MICRO_VERSION
  The micro version number of the girepository library.
• public const int MINOR_VERSION
  The minor version number of the girepository library.
• public const int TYPE_TAG_N_TYPES
  TODO

Delegates:

• public delegate void* ObjectInfoGetValueFunction (Value value)
  Extract an object instance out of value
• public delegate void* ObjectInfoRefFunction (void* object)
  Increases the reference count of an object instance.
• public delegate void ObjectInfoSetValueFunction (Value value, void* object)
  Update value and attach the object instance pointer object to it.
• public delegate void ObjectInfoUnrefFunction (void* object)
  Decreases the reference count of an object instance.

Methods:

• public uint get_major_version ()
  Returns the major version number of the girepository library.
• public uint get_micro_version ()
  Returns the micro version number of the girepository library.
• public uint get_minor_version ()
  Returns the minor version number of the girepository library.
• public void type_tag_argument_from_hash_pointer (TypeTag storage_type, void* hash_pointer, Argument arg)
  GLib data structures, such as List, SList, and GenericSet, all store data pointers.
• public void* type_tag_hash_pointer_from_argument (TypeTag storage_type, Argument arg)
  GLib data structures, such as List, SList, and GenericSet, all store data pointers.
