GdictClientContext error enumeration

gdict_client_context_new ()

GdictContext*       gdict_client_context_new            (const gchar *hostname,
                                                         gint port);

Creates a new GdictClientContext object for hostname. Use this object to connect and query the dictionary server using the Dictionary Protocol as defined by RFC 2229.

gdict_client_context_set_hostname ()

void                gdict_client_context_set_hostname   (GdictClientContext *context,
                                                         const gchar *hostname);

Sets hostname as the hostname of the dictionary server to be used. If hostname is NULL, the default dictionary server will be used.

gdict_client_context_get_hostname ()

const gchar*        gdict_client_context_get_hostname   (GdictClientContext *context);

Gets the hostname of the dictionary server used by context.

gdict_client_context_set_port ()

void                gdict_client_context_set_port       (GdictClientContext *context,
                                                         gint port);

Sets the port of the dictionary server to be used when connecting.

If port is -1, the default port will be used.

gdict_client_context_get_port ()

guint               gdict_client_context_get_port       (GdictClientContext *context);

Gets the port of the dictionary server used by context.

gdict_client_context_set_client ()

void                gdict_client_context_set_client     (GdictClientContext *context,
                                                         const gchar *client);

Sets client as the client name to be used when advertising ourselves when a connection the the dictionary server has been established. If client is NULL, the default client name will be used.

gdict_client_context_get_client ()

const gchar*        gdict_client_context_get_client     (GdictClientContext *context);

Gets the client name used by context. See gdict_client_context_set_client().
