30 * @short_description: A group of actions
32 * #GActionGroup represents a group of actions.
34 * Each action in the group has a unique name (which is a string). All
35 * method calls, except g_action_group_list_actions() take the name of
36 * an action as an argument.
38 * The #GActionGroup API is meant to be the 'public' API to the action
39 * group. The calls here are exactly the interaction that 'external
40 * forces' (eg: UI, incoming D-Bus messages, etc.) are supposed to have
41 * with actions. 'Internal' APIs (ie: ones meant only to be accessed by
42 * the action group implementation) are found on subclasses. This is
43 * why you will find -- for example -- g_action_group_get_action_enabled()
44 * but not an equivalent <function>set()</function> call.
46 * Signals are emitted on the action group in response to state changes
47 * on individual actions.
