24 * @Title: Enumeration and Flag Types
26 * The GLib type system provides fundamental types for enumeration and flags types. (Flags types
27 * are like enumerations, but allow their values to be combined by bitwise or). A registered
28 * enumeration or flags type associates a name and a nickname with each allowed value, and
29 * the methods g_enum_get_value_by_name(), g_enum_get_value_by_nick(), g_flags_get_value_by_name()
30 * and g_flags_get_value_by_nick() can look up values by their name or nickname.
31 * When an enumeration or flags type is registered with the GLib type system, it can
32 * be used as value type for object properties, using g_param_spec_enum() or
33 * g_param_spec_flags().
35 * GObject ships with a utility called <link linkend="glib-mkenums">glib-mkenums</link> that can
36 * construct suitable type registration functions from C enumeration definitions.
