GObject Introspection is a project for providing machine readable
introspection data of the API of C libraries. This introspection
data can be used in several different use cases, for example
automatic code generation for bindings, API verification and documentation
generation.
.
GObject Introspection contains tools to generate and handle the
introspection data.
.
This package contains tools for extracting introspection data from libraries
and transforming it to different formats. The versions of these tools with
architecture name prefixes, such as aarch64-linux-gnu-g-ir-scanner,
can be used during cross-compilation.
.
Although this package includes the pkg-config metadata for both the tools
and the libgirepository-1.0 library, it does not guarantee to provide the
library itself (currently it does provide the libgirepository-1.0.so
symlink as a workaround for a Meson issue, but this should not be
relied on). Packages that explicitly link to libgirepository-1.0.so,
mainly dynamic language bindings like GJS and PyGI, will need to
build-depend on libgirepository-1.0-dev in addition to this package.
