Typedef Documentation

◆ PurplePrefCallback

typedef void(* PurplePrefCallback) (const char *name, PurplePrefType type, gconstpointer val, gpointer data)

The type of callbacks for preference changes.

Parameters
namethe name of the preference which has changed.
typethe type of the preferenced named name
valthe new value of the preferencs; should be cast to the correct type. For instance, to recover the value of a PURPLE_PREF_INT preference, use GPOINTER_TO_INT(val). Alternatively, just call purple_prefs_get_int(), purple_prefs_get_string_list() etc.
dataArbitrary data specified when the callback was connected with purple_prefs_connect_callback().
See also
purple_prefs_connect_callback()

Definition at line 62 of file prefs.h.

◆ PurplePrefCallbackData

typedef struct _PurplePrefCallbackData PurplePrefCallbackData

Opaque type to carry callback information.

Since
2.11.0

Definition at line 70 of file prefs.h.

◆ PurplePrefsUiOps

Prefs UI operations.

This allows overriding the prefs.xml storage with anything else.

Unless specified otherwise, each entry provides an implementation for the corresponding purple_prefs_* method, and disables the prefs.xml code for it. This means that to do anything useful, all the methods must be implemented.

Since
2.11.0

Definition at line 74 of file prefs.h.

We're not really sure what purpose this function serves, so it will be removed in 3.0.0. Preferences values set using this function aren't serialized to prefs.xml, which could be misleading.
