g_enum_register_static ()

GType       g_enum_register_static          (const gchar *name,

Registers a new static enumeration type with the name name.

It is normally more convenient to let glib-mkenums generate a my_enum_get_type() function from a usual C enumeration definition than to write one yourself using g_enum_register_static().

g_flags_register_static ()

GType       g_flags_register_static         (const gchar *name,

Registers a new static flags type with the name name.

It is normally more convenient to let glib-mkenums generate a my_flags_get_type() function from a usual C enumeration definition than to write one yourself using g_flags_register_static().

g_enum_complete_type_info ()

void        g_enum_complete_type_info       (GType g_enum_type,
                                             GTypeInfo *info,

This function is meant to be called from the complete_type_info() function of a GTypePlugin implementation, as in the following example:

static void
my_enum_complete_type_info (GTypePlugin     *plugin,
                            GType            g_type,
                            GTypeInfo       *info,
                            GTypeValueTable *value_table)
{
  static const GEnumValue values[] = {
    { MY_ENUM_FOO, "MY_ENUM_FOO", "foo" },
    { MY_ENUM_BAR, "MY_ENUM_BAR", "bar" },
    { 0, NULL, NULL }
  };  
   
  g_enum_complete_type_info (type, info, values);  
}

g_flags_complete_type_info ()

void        g_flags_complete_type_info      (GType g_flags_type,

                                             const GFlagsValue *const_values);

This function is meant to be called from the complete_type_info() function of a GTypePlugin implementation, see the example for g_enumeration_complete_type_info() above.
