`lib.gvariant.isGVariant`

Type: isGVariant :: Any -> Bool

Check if a value is a GVariant value

v: Function argument

Located at lib/gvariant.nix:53 in <nixpkgs>.

`lib.gvariant.mkValue`

Type: mkValue :: Any -> gvariant

Returns the GVariant value that most closely matches the given Nix value. If no GVariant value can be found unambiguously then error is thrown.

v: Function argument

Located at lib/gvariant.nix:61 in <nixpkgs>.

`lib.gvariant.mkArray`

Type: mkArray :: [Any] -> gvariant

Returns the GVariant array from the given type of the elements and a Nix list.

elems: Function argument

Example

`lib.gvariant.mkArray` usage example

# Creating a string array
lib.gvariant.mkArray [ "a" "b" "c" ]

`lib.gvariant.mkEmptyArray`

Type: mkEmptyArray :: gvariant.type -> gvariant

Returns the GVariant array from the given empty Nix list.

elemType: Function argument

Example

`lib.gvariant.mkEmptyArray` usage example

# Creating an empty string array
lib.gvariant.mkEmptyArray (lib.gvariant.type.string)

`lib.gvariant.mkVariant`

Type: mkVariant :: Any -> gvariant

Returns the GVariant variant from the given Nix value. Variants are containers of different GVariant type.

elem: Function argument

Example

`lib.gvariant.mkVariant` usage example

lib.gvariant.mkArray [
  (lib.gvariant.mkVariant "a string")
  (lib.gvariant.mkVariant (lib.gvariant.mkInt32 1))
]

`lib.gvariant.mkDictionaryEntry`

Type: mkDictionaryEntry :: String -> Any -> gvariant

Returns the GVariant dictionary entry from the given key and value.

name: The key of the entry
value: The value of the entry

Example

`lib.gvariant.mkDictionaryEntry` usage example

# A dictionary describing an Epiphany’s search provider
[
  (lib.gvariant.mkDictionaryEntry "url" (lib.gvariant.mkVariant "https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%s&t=epiphany"))
  (lib.gvariant.mkDictionaryEntry "bang" (lib.gvariant.mkVariant "!d"))
  (lib.gvariant.mkDictionaryEntry "name" (lib.gvariant.mkVariant "DuckDuckGo"))
]
