<!-- ##### STRUCT GObject ##### -->
<para>
All the fields in the <structname>GObject</structname> structure are private 
to the #GObject implementation and should never be accessed directly.
</para>


<!-- ##### SIGNAL GObject::notify ##### -->
<para>
The notify signal is emitted on an object when one of its properties 
has been changed. Note that getting this signal doesn't guarantee that the
value of the property has actually changed, it may also be emitted when
the setter for the property is called to reinstate the previous value.
</para>

@gobject: the object which received the signal.
@pspec: the #GParamSpec of the property which changed

<!-- ##### STRUCT GObjectClass ##### -->
<para>
The class structure for the <structname>GObject</structname> type.
</para>

@g_type_class: the parent class
@constructor:  the @constructor function is called by g_object_new () to 
  complete the object initialization after all the construction properties are
  set. The first thing a @constructor implementation must do is chain up to the
  @constructor of the parent class. Overriding @constructor should be rarely 
  needed.
@set_property: the generic setter for all properties of this type. Should be
  overridden for every type with properties. Implementations of @set_property
  don't need to emit property change notification explicitly, this is handled
  by the type system.
@get_property: the generic getter for all properties of this type. Should be
  overridden for every type with properties.
@dispose: the @dispose function is supposed to drop all references to other 
  objects, but keep the instance otherwise intact, so that client method 
  invocations still work. It may be run multiple times (due to reference 
  loops). Before returning, @dispose should chain up to the @dispose method 
  of the parent class.
@finalize: instance finalization function, should finish the finalization of 
  the instance begun in @dispose and chain up to the @finalize method of the 
  parent class.
@dispatch_properties_changed: emits property change notification for a bunch
  of properties. Overriding @dispatch_properties_changed should be rarely 
  needed.
@notify: the class closure for the notify signal

<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_class_override_property ##### -->
<para>
Registers @property_id as referring to a property with the
name @name in a parent class or in an interface implemented
by @oclass. This allows this class to <firstterm>override</firstterm>
a property implementation in a parent class or to provide
the implementation of a property from an interface.
</para>
<note>
<para>
Internally, overriding is implemented by creating a property of type
#GParamSpecOverride; generally operations that query the properties of
the object class, such as g_object_class_find_property() or
g_object_class_list_properties() will return the overridden
property. However, in one case, the @construct_properties argument of
the @constructor virtual function, the #GParamSpecOverride is passed
instead, so that the @param_id field of the #GParamSpec will be
correct.  For virtually all uses, this makes no difference. If you
need to get the overridden property, you can call
g_param_spec_get_redirect_target().
</para>
</note>

@oclass: a #GObjectClass
@property_id: the new property ID
@name: the name of a property registered in a parent class or
       in an interface of this class.


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_interface_install_property ##### -->
<para>
Add a property to an interface; this is only useful for interfaces
that are added to GObject-derived types. Adding a property to an
interface forces all objects classes with that interface to have a
compatible property. The compatible property could be a newly
created #GParamSpec, but normally
g_object_class_override_property() will be used so that the object
class only needs to provide an implementation and inherits the
property description, default value, bounds, and so forth from the
interface property.
</para>
<para>
This function is meant to be called from the interface's default
vtable initialization function (the @class_init member of
#GTypeInfo.) It must not be called after after @class_init has
been called for any object types implementing this interface.
</para>

@g_iface: any interface vtable for the interface, or the default
 vtable for the interface.
@pspec: the #GParamSpec for the new property
@Since: 2.4


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_interface_find_property ##### -->
<para>
Find the #GParamSpec with the given name for an
interface. Generally, the interface vtable passed in as @g_iface
will be the default vtable from g_type_default_interface_ref(), or,
if you know the interface has already been loaded,
g_type_default_interface_peek().
</para>

@g_iface: any interface vtable for the interface, or the default
  vtable for the interface
@property_name: name of a property to lookup.
@Returns: the #GParamSpec for the property of the
  interface with the name @property_name, or %NULL
  if no such property exists.
@Since: 2.4


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_interface_list_properties ##### -->
<para>
Lists the properties of an interface.Generally, the interface
vtable passed in as @g_iface will be the default vtable from
g_type_default_interface_ref(), or, if you know the interface has
already been loaded, g_type_default_interface_peek().
</para>

@g_iface: any interface vtable for the interface, or the default
 vtable for the interface
@n_properties_p: location to store number of properties returned.
@Returns: a pointer to an array of pointers to #GParamSpec structures.

  be freed with g_free() when you are done with it.
@Since: 2.4


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_new ##### -->
<para>
Creates a new instance of a #GObject subtype and sets its properties.

@first_property_name: the name of the first property
@Varargs: the value of the first property, followed optionally by more
     name/value pairs, followed by %NULL
@Returns: a new instance of @object_type


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_newv ##### -->
<para>
Creates a new instance of a #GObject subtype and sets its properties.

<para>
Increases the reference count of @object.
</para>

@object: a #GObject
@Returns: @object


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_unref ##### -->
<para>
Decreases the reference count if @object.
When its reference count drops to 0, the object is finalized (i.e. its memory is freed).
</para>

@object: a #GObject


<!-- ##### USER_FUNCTION GWeakNotify ##### -->
<para>
A #GWeakNotify function can be added to an object as a callback that gets
triggered when the object is finalized. Since the object is already being
finalized when the #GWeakNotify is called, there's not much you could do 
with the object, apart from e.g. using its adress as hash-index or the like. 
</para>

@data: data that was provided when the weak reference was established
@where_the_object_was: the object being finalized


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_weak_ref ##### -->
<para>
Adds a weak reference callback to an object. Weak references are used for
notification when an object is finalized. They are called "weak references" 
because they allow you to safely hold a pointer to an object without calling 
g_object_ref() (g_object_ref() adds a strong reference, that is, forces the 
object to stay alive).
</para>

@object: #GObject to reference weakly
@notify: callback to invoke before the object is freed
@data: extra data to pass to notify


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_weak_unref ##### -->
<para>
Removes a weak reference callback to an object.
</para>

@object: #GObject to remove a weak reference from
@notify: callback to search for
@data: data to search for


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_add_weak_pointer ##### -->
<para>
Adds a weak reference from weak_pointer to @object to indicate that
the pointer located at @weak_pointer_location is only valid during the 
lifetime of @object. When the @object is finalized, @weak_pointer will 
be set to %NULL.
</para>

@object: The object that should be weak referenced.
@weak_pointer_location: The memory address of a pointer.


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_remove_weak_pointer ##### -->
<para>

using g_object_add_weak_pointer(). The @weak_pointer_location has
to match the one used with g_object_add_weak_pointer().
</para>

@weak_pointer_location: The memory address of a pointer.


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_connect ##### -->

@Returns: @object


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_disconnect ##### -->
<para>
A convenience function to disconnect multiple signals at once.
</para>
<para>
The signal specs expected by this function have the form "any_signal", which
means to disconnect any signal with matching callback and data, or 
"any_signal::signal_name", which only disconnects the signal named "signal_name". 
</para>

@object: a #GObject
@signal_spec: the spec for the first signal

          name/value pairs, followed by %NULL


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_get ##### -->
<para>
Gets properties of an object.

<para>
In general, a copy is made of the property contents and the caller is
responsible for freeing the memory in the appropriate manner for the type, 
for instance by calling g_free() or g_object_unref().
</para>
<example>
<title>Using g_object_get(<!-- -->)</title>
<para>
An example of using g_object_get() to get the contents
of three properties - one of type #G_TYPE_INT,
one of type #G_TYPE_STRING, and one of type #G_TYPE_OBJECT:
</para>
<programlisting>
 gint intval;
 gchar *strval;
 GObject *objval; 
 
 g_object_get (my_object,
               "intproperty", &amp;intval,
               "strproperty", &amp;strval,
               "objproperty", &amp;objval,
               NULL);

 /* Do something with intval, strval, objval */
 
 g_free (strval);
 g_object_unref (objval);
</programlisting>
</example>

@object: a #GObject
@first_property_name: name of the first property to get
@Varargs: return location for the first property, followed optionally by more
          name/return location pairs, followed by %NULL


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_notify ##### -->
<para>
Emits a "notify" signal for the property @property_name on @object. 
</para>

@object: a #GObject
@property_name: the name of a property installed on the class of @object.


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_freeze_notify ##### -->
<para>
Stops emission of "notify" signals on @object. The signals are
queued until g_object_thaw_notify() is called on @object. 
</para>
<para>
This is necessary for accessors that modify multiple properties to prevent
premature notification while the object is still being modified.
</para>

@object: a #GObject


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_thaw_notify ##### -->
<para>
Reverts the effect of a previous call to g_object_freeze_notify().
This causes all queued "notify" signals on @object to be emitted.
</para>

@object: a #GObject


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_get_data ##### -->
<para>
Gets a named field from the objects table of associations (see g_object_set_data()).
</para>

@object: #GObject containing the associations
@key: name of the key for that association
@Returns: the data if found, or %NULL if no such data exists.


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_set_data ##### -->
<para>
Each object carries around a table of associations from
strings to pointers.  This function lets you set an association.
</para>
<para>
If the object already had an association with that name,
the old association will be destroyed.
</para>

@object: #GObject containing the associations.
@key: name of the key
@data: data to associate with that key


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_set_data_full ##### -->
<para>
Like g_object_set_data() except it adds notification
for when the association is destroyed, either by setting it 
to a different value or when the object is destroyed.
</para>

@object: #GObject containing the associations
@key: name of the key
@data: data to associate with that key
@destroy: function to call when the association is destroyed


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_steal_data ##### -->
<para>
Remove a specified datum from the object's data associations,
without invoking the association's destroy handler.
</para>

@object: #GObject containing the associations
@key: name of the key
@Returns: the data if found, or %NULL if no such data exists.


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_get_qdata ##### -->
<para>
This function gets back user data pointers stored via
g_object_set_qdata().
</para>

@object:  The GObject to get a stored user data pointer from
@quark:   A #GQuark, naming the user data pointer
@Returns: The user data pointer set, or %NULL


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_set_qdata ##### -->
<para>
This sets an opaque, named pointer on an object.
The name is specified through a #GQuark (retrived e.g. via
g_quark_from_static_string()), and the pointer
can be gotten back from the @object with g_object_get_qdata()
until the @object is finalized.
Setting a previously set user data pointer, overrides (frees)
the old pointer set, using #NULL as pointer essentially
removes the data stored.
</para>

@object: The GObject to set store a user data pointer
@quark:  A #GQuark, naming the user data pointer
@data:   An opaque user data pointer


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_set_qdata_full ##### -->
<para>
This function works like g_object_set_qdata(), but in addition,
a void (*destroy) (gpointer) function may be specified which is
called with @data as argument when the @object is finalized, or
the data is being overwritten by a call to g_object_set_qdata()
with the same @quark.
</para>

@object:  The GObject to set store a user data pointer
@quark:   A #GQuark, naming the user data pointer
@data:    An opaque user data pointer
@destroy: Function to invoke with @data as argument, when @data needs to be freed


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_steal_qdata ##### -->
<para>
This function gets back user data pointers stored via
g_object_set_qdata() and removes the @data from object
without invoking it's destroy() function (if any was
set).
Usually, calling this function is only required to update
user data pointers with a destroy notifier, for example:
<programlisting>
void
object_add_to_user_list (GObject     *object,
                         const gchar *new_string)
{
  /* the quark, naming the object data */
  GQuark quark_string_list = g_quark_from_static_string ("my-string-list");
  /* retrive the old string list */
  GList *list = g_object_steal_qdata (object, quark_string_list);
  
  /* prepend new string */
  list = g_list_prepend (list, g_strdup (new_string));
  /* this changed 'list', so we need to set it again */
  g_object_set_qdata_full (object, quark_string_list, list, free_string_list);
}
static void
free_string_list (gpointer data)
{
  GList *node, *list = data;
  
  for (node = list; node; node = node->next)
    g_free (node->data);
  g_list_free (list);
}
</programlisting>
Using g_object_get_qdata() in the above example, instead of g_object_steal_qdata()
would have left the destroy function set, and thus the partial string list would
have been freed upon g_object_set_qdata_full().
</para>

@object:  The GObject to get a stored user data pointer from
@quark:   A #GQuark, naming the user data pointer
@Returns: The user data pointer set, or %NULL


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_set_property ##### -->
<para>
Sets a property on an object.
</para>

@object: a #GObject
@property_name: the name of the property to set
@value: the value


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_get_property ##### -->
<para>
Gets a property of an object.
</para>
<para>
In general, a copy is made of the property contents and the caller is
responsible for freeing the memory by calling g_value_unset().
</para>
<para>
Note that g_object_get_property() is really intended for language
bindings, g_object_get() is much more convenient for C programming.
</para>

@object: a #GObject
@property_name: the name of the property to get
@value: return location for the property value


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_new_valist ##### -->
<para>
Creates a new instance of a #GObject subtype and sets its properties.
</para>
<para>
Construction parameters (see #G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT, #G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT_ONLY) 
which are not explicitly specified are set to their default values.
</para>

@object_type: the type id of the #GObject subtype to instantiate
@first_property_name: the name of the first property
@var_args: the value of the first property, followed optionally by more
     name/value pairs, followed by %NULL
@Returns: a new instance of @object_type


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_set_valist ##### -->
<para>
Sets properties on an object.
</para>

@object: a #GObject
@first_property_name: name of the first property to set
@var_args: value for the first property, followed optionally by more
           name/value pairs, followed by %NULL


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_get_valist ##### -->
<para>
Gets properties of an object. 
</para>
<para>
In general, a copy is made of the property contents and the caller is
responsible for freeing the memory in the appropriate manner for the type, 
for instance by calling g_free() or g_object_unref().
</para>
<para>
See g_object_get().
</para>

@object: a #GObject
@first_property_name: name of the first property to get
@var_args: return location for the first property, followed optionally by more
           name/return location pairs, followed by %NULL


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_watch_closure ##### -->
<para>
This function essentially limits the life time of the @closure
to the life time of the object. That is, when the object is finalized,
the @closure is invalidated by calling g_closure_invalidate() on it,
in order to prevent invocations of the closure with a finalized 
(nonexisting) object. Also, g_object_ref() and g_object_unref() are added
as marshal guards to the @closure, to ensure that an extra reference
count is held on @object during invocation of the @closure.
Usually, this function will be called on closures that use this @object
as closure data.
</para>

@object:  GObject restricting lifetime of @closure
@closure: GClosure to watch


<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_object_run_dispose ##### -->
<para>
Releases all references to other objects. This can be used to break 
reference cycles.
</para>
<note><para>
