GI-INSPECT-TYPELIB(1)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so literally welcome to gi-inspect-typelib — the typelib inspection tool, bestie. it's section 1 of the manual, and it's here to spill the tea on your typelibs ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

gi-inspect-typelib [OPTION…] --print-shlibs NAMESPACE
gi-inspect-typelib [OPTION…] --print-typelibs NAMESPACE

like, pick one of those two vibes, you can't have both at once 👑

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

gi-inspect-typelib displays information about GObject-Introspection binary typelib files. that's it, that's the whole personality. it looks at those binary typelib files and tells you what's inside 🎀

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --print-shlibs — shows you the shared libraries that implement the NAMESPACE. the actual muscle behind the vibes 💪
• --print-typelibs — shows you the other typelibs that the NAMESPACE depends on. its little support system 🫶
• --typelib-version — the version of each NAMESPACE to inspect. for example, the version of Gio-2.0.typelib is 2.0. if you don't specify it, it just uses the newest available version if there's more than one installed. main character energy, always grabbing the latest 💅

---

🔥 EXAMPLE 🔥

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

$ gi-inspect-typelib --typelib-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:

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

see how clean that is?? no cap, that output ate 🌈

and that's the whole page, bestie 💖 no wild version stamp or date drama on this one, just gi-inspect-typelib in the manual, top and bottom, matching like a cute little set. go inspect some typelibs, you got this 👑⭐
