Details¶

class GtkSource.Encoding¶

Character encoding.

The GtkSource.Encoding boxed type represents a character encoding. It is used for example by GtkSource.File. Note that the text in GTK widgets is always encoded in UTF-8.

classmethod get_all()¶

Returns:: a list of all GtkSource.Encoding's. Free with g_slist_free().
Return type:: [GtkSource.Encoding]

Gets all encodings.

classmethod get_current()¶

Returns:: the current locale encoding.
Return type:: GtkSource.Encoding

Gets the GtkSource.Encoding for the current locale.

See also [func`GLib`.get_charset].

classmethod get_default_candidates()¶

Returns:: the list of default candidate encodings. Free with g_slist_free().
Return type:: [GtkSource.Encoding]

Gets the list of default candidate encodings to try when loading a file.

See [method`FileLoader`.set_candidate_encodings].

This function returns a different list depending on the current locale (i.e. language, country and default encoding). The UTF-8 encoding and the current locale encoding are guaranteed to be present in the returned list.

classmethod get_from_charset(charset)¶

Parameters:: charset (str) – a character set.
Returns:: the corresponding GtkSource.Encoding, or None if not found.
Return type:: GtkSource.Encoding or None

Gets a GtkSource.Encoding from a character set such as “UTF-8” or “ISO-8859-1”.

classmethod get_utf8()¶

Returns:: the UTF-8 encoding.
Return type:: GtkSource.Encoding

copy()¶

Returns:: a copy of self.
Return type:: GtkSource.Encoding

Used by language bindings.

free()¶: Used by language bindings.

get_charset()¶

Returns:: the character set of the GtkSource.Encoding.
Return type:: str

Gets the character set of the GtkSource.Encoding, such as “UTF-8” or “ISO-8859-1”.

get_name()¶

Returns:: the name of the GtkSource.Encoding.
Return type:: str

Gets the name of the GtkSource.Encoding such as “Unicode” or “Western”.

to_string()¶

Returns:: a string representation. Free with GLib.free() when no longer needed.
Return type:: str
