## Detailed Description

Object representing a syntax highlighted language.

Language encapsulates syntax and highlighting styles for a particular language. Use LanguageManager to obtain a Language instance, and Buffer::set_language() to apply it to a Buffer.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ Language()

Gsv::Language::Language | ( | Language&& | src | ) |
| noexcept

## ◆ ~Language()

Gsv::Language::~Language | ( |  | ) |
| overridenoexcept

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ get_globs()

std::vector< Glib::ustring > Gsv::Language::get_globs | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the globs associated to this language.

This is just a utility wrapper around get_metadata() to retrieve the "globs" metadata property and split it into an array.

Returns
  An array containing the globs.

## ◆ get_hidden()

bool Gsv::Language::get_hidden | ( |  | ) | const

Returns whether the language should be hidden from the user.

Returns
  `true` if the language should be hidden, `false` otherwise.

## ◆ get_id()

Glib::ustring Gsv::Language::get_id | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the ID of a language.

The ID is not locale-dependent.

Returns
  The ID of a language.

## ◆ get_metadata()

Glib::ustring Gsv::Language::get_metadata | ( | const Glib::ustring & | name | ) | const

Returns metadata of a language.

Parameters

  name | Metadata property name.

Returns
  Value of property name stored in the metadata of language or empty string if language doesn't contain that metadata property.

## ◆ get_mime_types()

std::vector< Glib::ustring > Gsv::Language::get_mime_types | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the mime types associated to this language.

This is just a utility wrapper around get_metadata() to retrieve the "mimetypes" metadata property and split it into an array.

Returns
  An array containing the mime types.

## ◆ get_name()

Glib::ustring Gsv::Language::get_name | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the localized name of the language.

Returns
  The name of a language.

## ◆ get_section()

Glib::ustring Gsv::Language::get_section | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the localized section of the language.

Each language belong to a section (ex. HTML belogs to the Markup section).

Returns
  The section of a language.

## ◆ get_style_ids()

std::vector< Glib::ustring > Gsv::Language::get_style_ids | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the ids of the styles defined by this language.

Returns
  An array containing ids of the styles defined by this language.

## ◆ get_style_name()

Glib::ustring Gsv::Language::get_style_name | ( | const Glib::ustring & | style_id | ) | const

Returns the name of the style with ID style_id defined by this language.

Parameters

  style_id | A style ID.

Returns
  The name of the style with ID style_id defined by this language or empty string if the style has no name or there is no style with ID style_id defined by this language.

## ◆ get_type()

static GType Gsv::Language::get_type | ( |  | ) |
| static

Get the GType for this class, for use with the underlying GObject type system.

## ◆ gobj() [1/2]

GtkSourceLanguage * Gsv::Language::gobj | ( |  | ) |
| inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

## ◆ gobj() [2/2]

const GtkSourceLanguage * Gsv::Language::gobj | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

## ◆ gobj_copy()

GtkSourceLanguage * Gsv::Language::gobj_copy | ( |  | ) |

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

## ◆ operator=()

Language& Gsv::Language::operator= | ( | Language&& | src | ) |
| noexcept

## ◆ property_hidden()

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< bool > Gsv::Language::property_hidden | ( |  | ) | const

Whether the language should be hidden from the user.

Returns
  A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

## ◆ property_id()

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< std::string > Gsv::Language::property_id | ( |  | ) | const

Language id.

Returns
  A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

## ◆ property_name()

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< std::string > Gsv::Language::property_name | ( |  | ) | const

Language name.

Returns
  A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
