1 2	GInterface +----GIcon

GIcon is implemented by GEmblem, GEmblemedIcon, GFileIcon and GThemedIcon.

GIcon is required by GLoadableIcon.

GIcon is a very minimal interface for icons. It provides functions for checking the equality of two icons, hashing of icons and serializing an icon to and from strings. GIcon does not provide the actual pixmap for the icon as this is out of GIO's scope, however implementations of GIcon may contain the name of an icon (see GThemedIcon), or the path to an icon (see GLoadableIcon).

To obtain a hash of a GIcon, see gIconHash.

To check if two GIcons are equal, see gIconEqual.

For serializing a GIcon, use gIconToString and gIconNewForString.

If your application or library provides one or more GIcon implementations you need to ensure that each GType is registered with the type system prior to calling gIconNewForString.
