since: 0.14.0

Declaration [src]

gboolean
as_component_load_from_bytes (
  AsComponent* cpt,
  AsContext* context,
  AsFormatKind format,
  GBytes* bytes,
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

Load metadata for this component from an XML string. You normally do not want to use this method directly and instead use the more convenient API of AsMetadata to create and update components.

If this function returns TRUE, a valid component is returned unless the selected format was AS_FORMAT_KIND_DESKTOP_ENTRY, in which case a component ID will have to be set explicitly by the caller in order to make the component valid.

Available since: 0.14.0

Parameters

context

Type: AsContext

An AsContext instance.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.

format

Type: AsFormatKind

The format of the data to load, e.g. AS_FORMAT_KIND_XML.

bytes

Type: GBytes

The data to load.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.

error

Type: GError **

The return location for a recoverable error.

The argument can be NULL.

If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to a NULL GError*.

The argument will be left initialized to NULL by the method if there are no errors.

In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

Return value

Type: gboolean

TRUE on success.
