NAME

       g-ir-inspect - Typelib inspection tool

SYNOPSIS

       g-ir-inspect [OPTION…] --print-shlibs NAMESPACE
       g-ir-inspect [OPTION…] --print-typelibs NAMESPACE

DESCRIPTION

       g-ir-inspect  displays  information  about GObject-Introspection binary typelib files.  In
       GLib 2.80 and later versions, it is superseded by
        <gi-inspect-typelib(1)> .

       On Debian-derived systems, each architecture provides a version of  g-ir-inspect  prefixed
       with      the     DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE     from     dpkg-architecture(1),     for     example
       arm-linux-gnueabihf-g-ir-inspect.   These  architecture-prefixed  names  use   appropriate
       search  paths for the given architecture, and should be used when cross-compiling.  Please
       see  <file:///usr/share/doc/gobject-introspection/README.Debian.gz> for more details.

OPTIONS

       --print-shlibs
              Show the shared libraries that implement the NAMESPACE.

       --print-typelibs
              Show the other typelibs that the NAMESPACE depends on.

       --version VERSION
              The  version  of  each  NAMESPACE  to  inspect.   For  example,  the   version   of
              Gio-2.0.typelib  is  2.0.   If  not  specified, use the newest available version if
              there is more than one installed.

EXAMPLE

       On Linux, the Gio-2.0 typelib is implemented by libgio-2.0.so.0:

          $ g-ir-inspect --version 2.0 --print-shlibs Gio
          shlib: libgio-2.0.so.0

       and it depends on GObject-2.0, GLib-2.0 and GModule-2.0:

          $ g-ir-inspect --version 2.0 --print-typelibs Gio
          typelib: GObject-2.0
          typelib: GLib-2.0
          typelib: GModule-2.0

                                                                                  G-IR-INSPECT(1)
