Function

GExiv2initialize

Declaration [src]

gboolean
gexiv2_initialize (
  void
)

Description [src]

Initializes GExiv2.

GExiv2 requires initialization before its methods are used. In particular, this call must be made in a thread-safe fashion. Best practice is to call from the application’s main thread and not to use any Gexiv2 code until it has returned.

Return value

Type: gboolean

TRUE if initialized. If FALSE, GExiv2 should not be used (unable to initialize properly).
