[21:7] extends: object
Provides information about supported DMA buffer formats. You can query
whether a given format is supported with [method@Gdk.DmabufFormats.contains]
and you can iterate over the list of all supported formats with
[method@Gdk.DmabufFormats.get_n_formats] and
[method@Gdk.DmabufFormats.get_format]. The list of supported formats is
sorted by preference, with the best formats coming first. The list may
contains (format, modifier) pairs where the modifier is
DMA_FORMAT_MOD_INVALID, indicating that implicit modifiers may be
used with this format. See [class@Gdk.DmabufTextureBuilder] for more
information about DMA buffers. Note that DMA buffers only exist on Linux.
GdkDmabufFormats (Handle = null)
Creates a new
DmabufFormatsby wrapping a native handle or another wrapper.
Handle is the native handle or another wrapper whose handle to adopt.toNativeHandle (Source)
Normalizes a constructor argument into a raw pointer carrier. Accepts a raw NativeHandle, a raw NativeBuffer returned from
fn.call(...), another generated wrapper exposinghandle(), or null. Returns null when the argument carries no pointer.
Source is the raw handle, raw buffer, wrapper, or null.A raw pointer carrier or null when no pointer is present.getLib ()
Returns the opened native library for this generated wrapper.
The opened native library.handle ()
Returns the wrapped NativeHandle.
The wrapped NativeHandle.isNull ()
Returns true when the wrapped handle is null.
A bool.describe ()
Returns a small string for debugging generated wrappers.
A string.contains (int fourcc, int modifier)
Returns whether a given format is contained in @formats.
fourcc is a format code.modifier is a format modifier.TRUE if the format specified by the arguments is part of @formats.equal (object formats2)
Returns whether @formats1 and @formats2 contain the same dmabuf formats, in the same order.
formats2 is another GdkDmabufFormats.TRUE if @formats1 and @formats2 are equal.get_format (int idx)
Gets the fourcc code and modifier for a format that is contained in
idx is the index of the format to return.fourcc is return location for the format code.modifier is return location for the format modifier.None.get_n_formats ()
Returns the number of formats that the @formats object contains. Note that DMA buffers are a Linux concept, so on other platforms, [method@Gdk.DmabufFormats.get_n_formats] will always return zero.
the number of formats.ref ()
Increases the reference count of @formats.
the passed-in object.unref ()
Decreases the reference count of @formats. When the reference count reaches zero, the object is freed.
None.
