✨ NAME ✨

Gnome2::Help — bestie, this is the little Perl module that lets you pop open help docs and desktop help files from your Gnome2 app 💖 it's part of the Gnome2 family, so if you already know that vibe you're basically home 🏠✨

🌸 METHODS 🌸

okay so here's the whole menu, no skips, no cuts, we're doing all of them 💅

the main character method fr fr 👑

  • $file_name (string) — the file you wanna show, bestie 📄
  • $link_id (string) — optional, defaults to undef, it's the link you're aiming at 🔗
⚠️ heads up: this one may croak with a Glib::Error in $@ on failure — so wrap it in an eval or it will absolutely throw hands 😭

same energy but for the desktop help situation ✨

  • $program (Gnome2::Program or undef) — the program object, or literally undef, your call 🫶
  • $doc_id (string) — the doc id 🆔
  • $file_name (string) — the file name 📄
  • $link_id (string) — optional, defaults to undef 🔗
⚠️ again: may croak with a Glib::Error in $@ on failure. be brave but be careful 💀

the deluxe version, it's giving custom environment 🌱 and listen, this one has no default on $link_id, so you must pass it — no sneaky undef shortcut here, she's built different 😤

  • $program (Gnome2::Program) — note: no undef allowed this time, unlike the other one 🙈
  • $doc_id (string) — the doc id 🆔
  • $file_name (string) — the file name 📄
  • $link_id (string) — required, no default, periodt 💅
  • $env_ref (scalar) — a ref to your environment stuff 🌍
⚠️ you guessed it: may croak with a Glib::Error in $@ on failure. iconic but dangerous 🚨

Since: libgnome 2.2 — so if your libgnome is ancient, this one's not invited to the party 🎈
