41 * SECTION: gapplication
42 * @title: GApplication
43 * @short_description: Core application class
45 * A #GApplication is the foundation of an application, unique for a
46 * given application identifier. The GApplication class wraps some
47 * low-level platform-specific services and is intended to act as the
48 * foundation for higher-level application classes such as
49 * #GtkApplication or #MxApplication. In general, you should not use
50 * this class outside of a higher level framework.
52 * One of the core features that GApplication provides is process
53 * uniqueness, in the context of a "session". The session concept is
54 * platform-dependent, but corresponds roughly to a graphical desktop
55 * login. When your application is launched again, its arguments
56 * are passed through platform communication to the already running
57 * program. The already running instance of the program is called the
58 * <firstterm>primary instance</firstterm>.
60 * Before using GApplication, you must choose an "application identifier".
61 * The expected form of an application identifier is very close to that of
62 * of a <ulink url="http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#message-protocol-names-interface">DBus bus name</ulink>.
63 * Examples include: "com.example.MyApp", "org.example.internal-apps.Calculator".
64 * For details on valid application identifiers, see
65 * g_application_id_is_valid().
67 * GApplication provides convenient life cycle management by maintaining
68 * a <firstterm>use count</firstterm> for the primary application instance.
69 * The use count can be changed using g_application_hold() and
70 * g_application_release(). If it drops to zero, the application exits.

1068 * This function is intended to be run from main() and its return value
1069 * is intended to be returned by main().
1071 * First, the local_command_line() virtual function is invoked. This
1072 * function always runs on the local instance. If that function returns
1073 * %FALSE then the application is registered and the #GApplication::command-line
1074 * signal is emitted in the primary instance (which may or may not be
1077 * If the application has the %G_APPLICATION_HANDLES_COMMAND_LINE
1078 * flag set then the default implementation of local_command_line()
1079 * always returns %FALSE immediately, resulting in the commandline
1080 * always being handled in the primary instance.
1082 * Otherwise, the default implementation of local_command_line() tries
1083 * to do a couple of things that are probably reasonable for most
1084 * applications. First, g_application_register() is called to attempt
1085 * to register the application. If that works, then the command line
1086 * arguments are inspected. If no commandline arguments are given, then
1087 * g_application_activate() is called. If commandline arguments are
1088 * given and the %G_APPLICATION_HANDLES_OPEN flag is set then they
1089 * are assumed to be filenames and g_application_open() is called.
1091 * If you are interested in doing more complicated local handling of the
1092 * commandline then you should implement your own #GApplication subclass
1093 * and override local_command_line(). See
1094 * <xref linkend="gapplication-example-cmdline2"/> for an example.
1096 * If, after the above is done, the use count of the application is zero
1097 * then the exit status is returned immediately. If the use count is
1098 * non-zero then the mainloop is run until the use count falls to zero,
1099 * at which point 0 is returned.
1101 * If the %G_APPLICATION_IS_SERVICE flag is set, then the exiting at
1102 * use count of zero is delayed for a while (ie: the instance stays
1103 * around to provide its <emphasis>service</emphasis> to others).
