Typedef Documentation

typedef struct _GPContext GPContext

The gphoto context structure.

This structure allows callback handling, passing error contexts back, progress handling and download cancellation and similar things. It is usually passed around the functions.

typedef enum _GPContextFeedback GPContextFeedback

Return codes that can be returned by progress handling.

An application can return special values back to the libgphoto2 progress callback handling functions. If "Cancel" is selected, libgphoto2 and the camera driver will try to cancel transfer.


Enumeration Type Documentation

enum _GPContextFeedback

Return codes that can be returned by progress handling.

An application can return special values back to the libgphoto2 progress callback handling functions. If "Cancel" is selected, libgphoto2 and the camera driver will try to cancel transfer.

Enumerator:
GP_CONTEXT_FEEDBACK_OK  Everything ok... proceed.
GP_CONTEXT_FEEDBACK_CANCEL  Please cancel the current transfer if possible.


Function Documentation

GPContextFeedback gp_context_cancel ( GPContext context  ) 

gp_context_cancel: : a GPContext

Gives the frontend the possibility to cancel the current operation that is executed in this .

Return value: a GPContextFeedback.

void gp_context_idle ( GPContext context  ) 

Notify frontend of a brief idle time.

Tells the frontend that it can do other processing at this moment, like refresh the UI. Backends should call this function every time when an interruption of the transfer is possible.

Parameters:
context a GPContext

void gp_context_message ( GPContext context,
const char *  format,
  ... 
)

Print a message to the context.

This sends a message to the passed context, to be printed by it in some kind of way, but do no other action.

To be used by camera drivers.

Parameters:
context A GPContext
format A sprintf style format string
... variable argument list depending on format string

GPContext* gp_context_new ( void   ) 

Creates a new context.

To be used by the frontend.

Returns:
a GPContext.

unsigned int gp_context_progress_start ( GPContext context,
float  target,
const char *  format,
  ... 
)

Start progress tracking.

This function starts up a new progress tracking for a specified context. Several nested progress reports can happen at once, depending on the backend.

Parameters:
context The context in which to start the progress.
target The 100% value.
format A sprintf style string to print out, including the following variable arguments.

GPContextFeedback gp_context_question ( GPContext context,
const char *  format,
  ... 
)

Ask frontend user a question.

Asks the user a question that he must answer either with "Ok" or "Cancel".

To be used by a camera driver. (So far no camera driver is using it, but this might change later.)

Parameters:
context a GPContext
format a sprintf format string
... variable arguments for format string
Returns:
The user's answer in form of a GPContextFeedback.

void gp_context_ref ( GPContext context  ) 

Increments the reference count of the context.

Parameters:
context The context to bump the reference

void gp_context_unref ( GPContext context  ) 

Decrements reference count of a context.

Decrement the reference count of a context and free if it goes to 0.

Parameters:
context The context to drop the reference count.
