5 * @brief General Elementary API. Functions that don't relate to
6 * Elementary objects specifically.
8 * Here are documented functions which init/shutdown the library,
9 * that apply to generic Elementary objects, that deal with
10 * configuration, et cetera.
12 * @ref general_functions_example_page "This" example contemplates
13 * some of these functions.
22 * Defines couple of standard Evas_Object layers to be used
23 * with evas_object_layer_set().
25 * @note whenever extending with new values, try to keep some padding
26 * to siblings so there is room for further extensions.

126 * Initialize Elementary
128 * @param[in] argc System's argument count value
129 * @param[in] argv System's pointer to array of argument strings
130 * @return The init counter value.
132 * This function initializes Elementary and increments a counter of
133 * the number of calls to it. It returns the new counter's value.
135 * @warning This call is exported only for use by the @c ELM_MAIN()
136 * macro. There is no need to use this if you use this macro (which
137 * is highly advisable). An elm_main() should contain the entry
138 * point code for your application, having the same prototype as
139 * elm_init(), and @b not being static (putting the @c EAPI_MAIN symbol
140 * in front of its type declaration is advisable). The @c
141 * ELM_MAIN() call should be placed just after it.
144 * @dontinclude bg_example_01.c
148 * See the full @ref bg_example_01_c "example".
150 * @see elm_shutdown().
153 EAPI int elm_init(int argc, char **argv);
156 * Shut down Elementary
158 * @return The init counter value.
160 * This should be called at the end of your application, just
161 * before it ceases to do any more processing. This will clean up
162 * any permanent resources your application may have allocated via
163 * Elementary that would otherwise persist.
165 * @see elm_init() for an example
169 EAPI int elm_shutdown(void);
172 * Run Elementary's main loop
174 * This call should be issued just after all initialization is
175 * completed. This function will not return until elm_exit() is
176 * called. It will keep looping, running the main
177 * (event/processing) loop for Elementary.
179 * @see elm_init() for an example
183 EAPI void elm_run(void);
186 * Exit Elementary's main loop
188 * If this call is issued, it will flag the main loop to cease
189 * processing and return back to its parent function (usually your
190 * elm_main() function).
192 * @see elm_init() for an example. There, just after a request to
193 * close the window comes, the main loop will be left.
195 * @note By using the appropriate #ELM_POLICY_QUIT on your Elementary
196 * applications, you'll be able to get this function called automatically for you.

268 * @return @c EINA_TRUE on success or @c EINA_FALSE, on error.
270 * Elementary policies define applications' behavior,
271 * somehow. These behaviors are divided in policy groups (see
272 * #Elm_Policy enumeration). This call will emit the Ecore event
273 * #ELM_EVENT_POLICY_CHANGED, which can be hooked at with
274 * handlers. An #Elm_Event_Policy_Changed struct will be passed,
277 * @note Currently, we have only one policy identifier/group
278 * (#ELM_POLICY_QUIT), which has two possible values.

289 * identifier. Will be @c 0 if @p policy passed is invalid.

296 * Change the language of the current application
298 * The @p lang passed must be the full name of the locale to use, for
299 * example "en_US.utf8" or "es_ES@euro".
301 * Changing language with this function will make Elementary run through
302 * all its widgets, translating strings set with
303 * elm_object_domain_translatable_text_part_set(). This way, an entire
304 * UI can have its language changed without having to restart the program.
306 * For more complex cases, like having formatted strings that need
307 * translation, widgets will also emit a "language,changed" signal that
308 * the user can listen to to manually translate the text.
310 * @param lang Language to set, must be the full name of the locale
314 EAPI void elm_language_set(const char *lang);
317 * Set the text for an objects' part, marking it as translatable.
319 * The string to set as @p text must be the original one. Do not pass the
320 * return of @c gettext() here. Elementary will translate the string
321 * internally and set it on the object using elm_object_part_text_set(),
322 * also storing the original string so that it can be automatically
323 * translated when the language is changed with elm_language_set().
325 * The @p domain will be stored along to find the translation in the
326 * correct catalog. It can be NULL, in which case it will use whatever
327 * domain was set by the application with @c textdomain(). This is useful
328 * in case you are building a library on top of Elementary that will have
329 * its own translatable strings, that should not be mixed with those of
330 * programs using the library.
332 * @param obj The object containing the text part
333 * @param part The name of the part to set
334 * @param domain The translation domain to use
335 * @param text The original, non-translated text to set

343 #define elm_object_translatable_text_set(obj, text) elm_object_domain_translatable_text_part_set((obj), NULL, NULL, (text))
346 * Gets the original string set as translatable for an object
348 * When setting translated strings, the function elm_object_part_text_get()
349 * will return the translation returned by @c gettext(). To get the
350 * original string use this function.
352 * @param obj The object
353 * @param part The name of the part that was set
355 * @return The original, untranslated string
