Method

GgitRepositorylookup

Declaration [src]

GgitObject*
ggit_repository_lookup (
  GgitRepository* repository,
  GgitOId* oid,

)

Description [src]

Lookups a reference to one of the objects in the repository.

The generated reference must be freed with g_object_unref().

The gtype must match the type of the object in the odb; the method will fail otherwise. The special value G_TYPE_NONE may be passed to let the method guess the object’s type.

Parameters

The data is owned by the caller of the function.
gtype

Type: GType

error

Type: GError **

The return location for a recoverable error.

The argument can be NULL.
If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to a NULL GError*.
The argument will left initialized to NULL by the method if there are no errors.
In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

Return value

Type: GgitObject

The found GgitObject, or NULL on error.

The caller of the method takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
The return value can be NULL.
