+ * @resource_path: (nullable): the resource path to use
+ *
+ * Sets (or unsets) the base resource path of @application.
+ *
+ * The path is used to automatically load various [application
+ * resources][gresource] such as menu layouts and action descriptions.
+ * The various types of resources will be found at fixed names relative
+ * to the given base path.
+ *
+ * By default, the resource base path is determined from the application
+ * ID by prefixing '/' and replacing each '.' with '/'.  This is done at
+ * the time that the #GApplication object is constructed.  Changes to
+ * the application ID after that point will not have an impact on the
+ * resource base path.
+ *
+ * As an example, if the application has an ID of "org.example.app" then
+ * the default resource base path will be "/org/example/app".  If this
+ * is a #GtkApplication (and you have not manually changed the path)
+ * then Gtk will then search for the menus of the application at
+ * "/org/example/app/gtk/menus.ui".
+ *
+ * See #GResource for more information about adding resources to your
+ * application.
+ *
+ * You can disable automatic resource loading functionality by setting
+ * the path to %NULL.
+ *
+ * Changing the resource base path once the application is running is
+ * not recommended.  The point at which the resource path is consulted
+ * for forming paths for various purposes is unspecified.
