Deserializes an array of objects.

Deserializes an array of objects from YAML, in the form written by ncm_serialize_array_to_yaml().

Same as ncm_serialize_array_from_yaml() with the contents of filename.

Writes oa to filename as a key file: a group NcmObjArray with the key empty, and for each element a group ARRAY:ELEMENT:<i> with the type name under OBJECT:NAME and one key per property, as GVariant text.

Serializes oa, each object as ncm_serialize_to_variant().

Serializes oa to YAML.

Writes ncm_serialize_array_to_yaml() to filename.

Removes the named instances, releasing the references ser holds.

Deserializes a dictionary of objects with integer keys.

Deserializes a dictionary of objects with integer keys from YAML, in the form written by ncm_serialize_dict_int_to_yaml().

Same as ncm_serialize_dict_int_from_yaml() with the contents of filename.

Deserializes a NcmObjDictStr from the binary GVariant data written by ncm_serialize_dict_str_to_binfile().

Deserializes a dictionary of objects with string keys.

Deserializes a dictionary of objects with string keys from YAML, in the form written by ncm_serialize_dict_str_to_yaml().

Same as ncm_serialize_dict_str_from_yaml() with the contents of filename.

Writes ods to filename as binary GVariant data.

Serializes ods, each object as ncm_serialize_to_variant().

Serializes ods to YAML.

Writes ncm_serialize_dict_str_to_yaml() to filename.

Duplicates oa as ncm_serialize_dup_obj() does for each element.

Duplicates obj by serializing and deserializing it with ser. Named instances of ser are reused, not copied. With #NCM_SERIALIZE_OPT_CLEAN_DUP an object shared inside obj stays shared in the copy; the automatic names then remain in ser, so call ncm_serialize_reset() before using ser for another copy.

Decreases the reference count of ser by one.

Deserializes an object from the binary GVariant data written by ncm_serialize_to_binfile(). Aborts if the file cannot be read.

Same as ncm_serialize_from_string() with the contents of filename. Aborts if the file cannot be read.

Creates an object of type TypeName with the properties in params. For TypeName[name], the named instance is returned if ser has one; giving params as well then aborts. With #NCM_SERIALIZE_OPT_AUTOSAVE_SER a new named object is added to the named instances. Aborts if TypeName is not a registered type.

Deserializes obj_ser, written either as GVariant text of type

NCM_SERIALIZE_OBJECT_TYPE or as the shorthand TypeName{'prop': <value>, ...}, where

the properties are optional and TypeName may be TypeName[name]. Aborts if obj_ser has neither form.

Deserializes an object, see ncm_serialize_from_name_params().

Deserializes an object from YAML, in the form written by ncm_serialize_to_yaml().

Same as ncm_serialize_from_yaml() with the contents of filename.

Converts val to a GVariant, serializing objects with ncm_serialize_to_variant(). Aborts for a type it cannot convert.

Parses serobj, as GVariant text or the shorthand of ncm_serialize_from_string(), and checks whether it has the form TypeName[name]. Aborts if serobj cannot be parsed.

Logs the sizes of the tables of ser.

Aborts if obj is not a named instance of ser.

Increases the reference count of ser by one.

Removes the saved serialization of obj, if any.

Empties the table of named instances and the saved serializations, see ncm_serialize_clear_instances(), and restarts the automatic names at S0.

Adds obj to the named instances under name, holding a reference to it. Aborts if another instance has name and overwrite is FALSE.

Sets the properties of obj from prop_str, deserializing object-valued properties. Aborts if prop_str cannot be parsed.

Sets the properties of obj from the keys of the group Precision Parameters of prop_file, each value written as GVariant text. A file without groups is read as that group. Aborts if the file cannot be read.

Writes obj to filename as binary GVariant data. Aborts if the file cannot be written.

Writes obj to filename as GVariant text. Aborts if the file cannot be written.

Serializes obj as GVariant text or, if valid_variant is FALSE, as the shorthand read by ncm_serialize_from_string().

Serializes obj. A named instance, or an object serialized earlier with a name, is written as TypeName[name] without properties. Otherwise every read-write property is serialized; with #NCM_SERIALIZE_OPT_AUTONAME_SER the object is named S<n> and its serialization saved.

Serializes obj to YAML.

Writes ncm_serialize_to_yaml() to filename.

Same as ncm_serialize_free().

Removes obj from the named instances. Does nothing if obj is not one.

Deserializes a NcmVarDict; each value is stored with ncm_var_dict_set_variant().

Deserializes a NcmVarDict from the file written by ncm_serialize_var_dict_to_variant_file().

Deserializes a NcmVarDict from YAML, in the form written by ncm_serialize_var_dict_to_yaml().

Same as ncm_serialize_var_dict_from_yaml() with the contents of filename.

Serializes vd, each object as ncm_serialize_to_variant().

Writes vd to filename as binary GVariant data or GVariant text.

Serializes dict to YAML.

Writes ncm_serialize_var_dict_to_yaml() to filename.

Converts a serialized object to YAML.
