/** * @defgroup Elm_App App * @ingroup Elementary * Provide information in order to make Elementary determine the @b * run time location of the software in question, so other data files * such as images, sound files, executable utilities, libraries, * modules and locale files can be found. */ /** * @addtogroup Elm_App * @{ */ /** * Re-locate the application somewhere else after compilation, if the developer * wishes for easier distribution of pre-compiled binaries. * * @param mainfunc This is your application's main function name, * whose binary's location is to be found. Providing @c NULL * will make Elementary not to use it * @param dom This will be used as the application's "domain", in the * form of a prefix to any environment variables that may * override prefix detection and the directory name, inside the * standard share or data directories, where the software's * data files will be looked for. * @param checkfile This is an (optional) magic file's path to check * for existence (and it must be located in the data directory, * under the share directory provided above). Its presence will * help determine the prefix found was correct. Pass @c NULL if * the check is not to be done. * * The prefix system is designed to locate where the given software is * installed (under a common path prefix) at run time and then report * specific locations of this prefix and common directories inside * this prefix like the binary, library, data and locale directories, * through the @c elm_app_*_get() family of functions. * * Call elm_app_info_set() early on before you change working * directory or anything about @c argv[0], so it gets accurate * information. * * It will then try and trace back which file @p mainfunc comes from, * if provided, to determine the application's prefix directory. * * The @p dom parameter provides a string prefix to prepend before * environment variables, allowing a fallback to @b specific * environment variables to locate the software. You would most * probably provide a lowercase string there, because it will also * serve as directory domain, explained next. For environment * variables purposes, this string is made uppercase. For example if * @c "myapp" is provided as the prefix, then the program would expect * @c "MYAPP_PREFIX" as a master environment variable to specify the * exact install prefix for the software, or more specific environment * variables like @c "MYAPP_BIN_DIR", @c "MYAPP_LIB_DIR", @c * "MYAPP_DATA_DIR" and @c "MYAPP_LOCALE_DIR", which could be set by * the user or scripts before launching. If not provided (@c NULL), * environment variables will not be used to override compiled-in * defaults or auto detections. * * The @p dom string also provides a subdirectory inside the system * shared data directory for data files. For example, if the system * directory is @c /usr/local/share, then this directory name is * appended, creating @c /usr/local/share/myapp, if it @p was @c * "myapp". It is expected that the application installs data files in * this directory. * * The @p checkfile is a file name or path of something inside the * share or data directory to be used to test that the prefix * detection worked. For example, your app will install a wallpaper * image as @c /usr/local/share/myapp/images/wallpaper.jpg and so to * check that this worked, provide @c "images/wallpaper.jpg" as the @p * checkfile string. * * @see elm_app_compile_bin_dir_set() * @see elm_app_compile_lib_dir_set() * @see elm_app_compile_data_dir_set() * @see elm_app_compile_locale_set() * @see elm_app_prefix_dir_get() * @see elm_app_bin_dir_get() * @see elm_app_lib_dir_get() * @see elm_app_data_dir_get() * @see elm_app_locale_dir_get() * * @ingroup Elm_App */ EAPI void elm_app_info_set(void *mainfunc, const char *dom, const char *checkfile);
