Function Documentation

PurpleStoredImage* purple_imgstore_add ( gpointer  data,
size_t  size,
const char *  filename 
)

Add an image to the store.

The caller owns a reference to the image in the store, and must dereference the image with purple_imgstore_unref() for it to be freed.

No ID is allocated when using this function. If you need to reference the image by an ID, use purple_imgstore_add_with_id() instead.

Parameters:
data Pointer to the image data, which the imgstore will take ownership of and free as appropriate. If you want a copy of the data, make it before calling this function.
size Image data's size.
filename Filename associated with image. This is for your convenience. It could be the full path to the image or, more commonly, the filename of the image without any directory information. It can also be NULL, if you don't need to keep track of a filename.
Returns:
The stored image.

int purple_imgstore_add_with_id ( gpointer  data,
size_t  size,
const char *  filename 
)

Add an image to the store, allocating an ID.

The caller owns a reference to the image in the store, and must dereference the image with purple_imgstore_unref_by_id() or purple_imgstore_unref() for it to be freed.

Parameters:
data Pointer to the image data, which the imgstore will take ownership of and free as appropriate. If you want a copy of the data, make it before calling this function.
size Image data's size.
filename Filename associated with image. This is for your convenience. It could be the full path to the image or, more commonly, the filename of the image without any directory information. It can also be NULL, if you don't need to keep track of a filename.
Returns:
ID for the image. This is a unique number that can be used within libpurple to reference the image.

PurpleStoredImage* purple_imgstore_find_by_id ( int  id  ) 

Retrieve an image from the store.

The caller does not own a reference to the image.

Parameters:
id The ID for the image.
Returns:
A pointer to the requested image, or NULL if it was not found.

gconstpointer purple_imgstore_get_data ( PurpleStoredImage img  ) 

Retrieves a pointer to the image's data.

Parameters:
img The Image
Returns:
A pointer to the data, which must not be freed or modified.

const char* purple_imgstore_get_extension ( PurpleStoredImage img  ) 

Looks at the magic numbers of the image data (the first few bytes) and returns an extension corresponding to the image's file type.

Parameters:
img The image.
Returns:
The image's extension (for example "png") or "icon" if unknown.

const char* purple_imgstore_get_filename ( const PurpleStoredImage img  ) 

Retrieves a pointer to the image's filename.

Parameters:
img The image
Returns:
A pointer to the filename, which must not be freed or modified.

void* purple_imgstore_get_handle ( void   ) 

Returns the image store subsystem handle.

Returns:
The subsystem handle.

size_t purple_imgstore_get_size ( PurpleStoredImage img  ) 

Retrieves the length of the image's data.

Parameters:
img The Image
Returns:
The size of the data that the pointer returned by purple_imgstore_get_data points to.

PurpleStoredImage* purple_imgstore_new_from_file ( const char *  path  ) 

Create an image and add it to the store.

Parameters:
path The path to the image.
Returns:
The stored image.
Since:
2.X.X

PurpleStoredImage* purple_imgstore_ref ( PurpleStoredImage img  ) 

Increment the reference count.

Parameters:
img The image.
Returns:
img

void purple_imgstore_ref_by_id ( int  id  ) 

Increment the reference count using an ID.

This is a convience wrapper for purple_imgstore_find_by_id() and purple_imgstore_ref(), so if you have a PurpleStoredImage, it'll be more efficient to call purple_imgstore_ref() directly.

Parameters:
id The ID for the image.

PurpleStoredImage* purple_imgstore_unref ( PurpleStoredImage img  ) 

Decrement the reference count.

If the reference count reaches zero, the image will be freed.

Parameters:
img The image.
Returns:
img or NULL if the reference count reached zero.

void purple_imgstore_unref_by_id ( int  id  ) 

Decrement the reference count using an ID.

This is a convience wrapper for purple_imgstore_find_by_id() and purple_imgstore_unref(), so if you have a PurpleStoredImage, it'll be more efficient to call purple_imgstore_unref() directly.

Parameters:
id The ID for the image.
