Method

GgitRepositorylookup

Declaration [src]

GgitObject*
ggit_repository_lookup (
  GgitRepository* repository,
  GgitOId* oid,
  GType gtype,
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

Lookups a reference to one of the objects in the repository.

The generated reference must be freed with g_object_unref().

The gtype must match the type of the object in the odb; the method will fail otherwise. The special value G_TYPE_NONE may be passed to let the method guess the object’s type.

Parameters

`oid`	`GgitOId`
	A `GgitOId`.
	The data is owned by the caller of the function.
`gtype`	`GType`
	A `GType`.
`error`	`GError **`
	The return location for a `GError*`, or `NULL`.

Return value

Returns:	`GgitObject`
	The found `GgitObject`, or `NULL` on error.
	The caller of the method takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
	The return value can be `NULL`.
