NAME

       g-ir-inspect - Typelib inspection tool

SYNOPSIS

       g-ir-inspect [OPTION…] --print-shlibs NAMESPACE
       g-ir-inspect [OPTION…] --print-typelibs NAMESPACE

DESCRIPTION

       g-ir-inspect  displays  information  about  GObject-Introspection binary typelib files.  In GLib 2.80 and
       later versions, it is superseded by
        <gi-inspect-typelib(1)> .

       On Debian-derived systems, each architecture  provides  a  version  of  g-ir-inspect  prefixed  with  the
       DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE   from   dpkg-architecture(1),  for  example  arm-linux-gnueabihf-g-ir-inspect.   These
       architecture-prefixed names use appropriate search paths for the given architecture, and should  be  used
       when  cross-compiling.   Please  see   <file:///usr/share/doc/gobject-introspection/README.Debian.gz> for
       more details.

OPTIONS

       --print-shlibs
              Show the shared libraries that implement the NAMESPACE.

       --print-typelibs
              Show the other typelibs that the NAMESPACE depends on.

       --version VERSION
              The version of each NAMESPACE to inspect.  For example, the version of Gio-2.0.typelib is 2.0.  If
              not specified, use the newest available version if there is more than one installed.

EXAMPLE

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

          $ g-ir-inspect --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:

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

                                                                                                 G-IR-INSPECT(1)
