## Description

## Functions

### cinnamon_util_get_label_for_uri ()

    char *
    cinnamon_util_get_label_for_uri (const char *text_uri);

### cinnamon_util_get_icon_for_uri ()

    GIcon *
    cinnamon_util_get_icon_for_uri (const char *text_uri);

### cinnamon_util_set_hidden_from_pick ()

    void
    cinnamon_util_set_hidden_from_pick (ClutterActor *actor,
                                        gboolean hidden);

If `hidden` is `TRUE`, hide `actor` from pick even with a mode of `CLUTTER_PICK_ALL`; if `hidden` is `FALSE`, unhide `actor` .

#### Parameters

actor | A ClutterActor |
hidden | Whether `actor` should be hidden from pick |

### cinnamon_util_get_transformed_allocation ()

    void
    cinnamon_util_get_transformed_allocation
                                   (ClutterActor *actor,
                                    ClutterActorBox *box);

This function is similar to a combination of `clutter_actor_get_transformed_position()`, and `clutter_actor_get_transformed_size()`, but unlike `clutter_actor_get_transformed_size()`, it always returns a transform of the current allocation, while `clutter_actor_get_transformed_size()` returns bad values (the transform of the requested size) if a relayout has been queued.

This function is more convenient to use than `clutter_actor_get_abs_allocation_vertices()` if no transformation is in effect and also works around limitations in the GJS binding of arrays.

#### Parameters

actor | a ClutterActor |
box | location to store returned box in stage coordinates. | [out]

### cinnamon_util_get_week_start ()

    int
    cinnamon_util_get_week_start (void);

Gets the first week day for the current locale, expressed as a number in the range 0..6, representing week days from Sunday to Saturday.

#### Returns

A number representing the first week day for the current locale

### cinnamon_util_format_date ()

    char *
    cinnamon_util_format_date (const char *format,
                               gint64 time_ms);

Formats a date for the current locale. This should be used instead of the Spidermonkey Date.toLocaleFormat() extension because Date.toLocaleFormat() is buggy for Unicode format strings: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=508783

#### Parameters

format | a strftime-style string format, as parsed by `g_date_time_format()` |
time_ms | milliseconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC; the value returned by Date.getTime() |

#### Returns

the formatted date. If the date is outside of the range of a GDateTime (which contains any plausible dates we actually care about), will return an empty string.

### cinnamon_get_event_state ()

    ClutterModifierType
    cinnamon_get_event_state (ClutterEvent *event);

Gets the current state of the event (the set of modifier keys that are pressed down). Thhis is a wrapper around `clutter_event_get_state()` that strips out any un-declared modifier flags, to make gjs happy; see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597292.

#### Parameters

event | a ClutterEvent |

#### Returns

the state from the event

### cinnamon_write_soup_message_to_stream ()

    void
    cinnamon_write_soup_message_to_stream (GOutputStream *stream,
                                           SoupMessage *message,
                                           GError **error);

Write a string to a GOutputStream as binary data. This is a workaround for the lack of proper binary strings in GJS.

#### Parameters

stream | a GOutputStream |
message | a SoupMessage |
error | location to store GError |

### cinnamon_write_string_to_stream ()

    gboolean
    cinnamon_write_string_to_stream (GOutputStream *stream,
                                     const char *str,
                                     GError **error);

Write a string to a GOutputStream as UTF-8. This is a workaround for not having binary buffers in GJS.

#### Parameters

stream | a GOutputStream |
str | a UTF-8 string to write to `stream` |
error | location to store GError |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if write succeeded

### cinnamon_get_file_contents_utf8_sync ()

    char *
    cinnamon_get_file_contents_utf8_sync (const char *path,
                                          GError **error);

`cinnamon_get_file_contents_utf8_sync` has been deprecated since version 3.1 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Synchronously load the contents of a file as a NUL terminated string, validating it as UTF-8. Embedded NUL characters count as invalid content.

#### Parameters

path | UTF-8 encoded filename path |
error | a GError |

#### Returns

File contents.

### CinnamonFileContentsCallback ()

    void
    (*CinnamonFileContentsCallback) (const gchar *utf8_contents,
                                     gpointer user_data);

Callback type for `cinnamon_get_file_contents_utf8()`

#### Parameters

utf8_contents | The contents of the file |
user_data | Data passed to `cinnamon_get_file_contents_utf8()`. | [closure]

Since: 3.1

### cinnamon_get_file_contents_utf8 ()

    void
    cinnamon_get_file_contents_utf8 (const char *path,
                                     CinnamonFileContentsCallback callback,
                                     gpointer user_data);

Asynchronously load the contents of a file as a NUL terminated string, validating it as UTF-8. Embedded NUL characters count as invalid content.

#### Parameters

path | UTF-8 encoded filename path |
callback | The callback to call when finished. | [scope async]
user_data | data to pass with the callback. | [closure]

### cinnamon_breakpoint ()

    void
    cinnamon_breakpoint (void);

Using `G_BREAKPOINT()`, interrupt the current process. This is useful in conjunction with a debugger such as gdb.

### cinnamon_parse_search_provider ()

    gboolean
    cinnamon_parse_search_provider (const char *data,
                                    char **name,
                                    char **url,
                                    GList **langs,
                                    char **icon_data_uri,
                                    GError **error);

#### Parameters

data | description of provider |
name | location to store a display name. | [out]
url | location to store template of url. | [out]
langs | list of supported languages. | [out][transfer full][element-type utf8]
icon_data_uri | location to store uri. | [out]
error | location to store GError |

#### Returns

`TRUE` on success

### cinnamon_shader_effect_set_double_uniform ()

    void
    cinnamon_shader_effect_set_double_uniform
                                   (ClutterShaderEffect *effect,
                                    const gchar *name,
                                    gdouble value);

Set a double uniform on a ClutterShaderEffect.

The problem here is that JavaScript doesn't have more than one number type, and gjs tries to automatically guess what type we want to set a GValue to. If the number is "1.0" or something, it will use an integer, which will cause errors in GLSL.

#### Parameters

effect | The ClutterShaderEffect |
name | The name of the uniform |
value | The value to set it to. |
