xdp_portal_update_monitor_start_finish
                               (XdpPortal *portal,
                                GAsyncResult *result,
                                GError **error);

Finishes an update-monitor request, and returns the result in the form of boolean.

Parameters

void
xdp_portal_update_install (XdpPortal *portal,
                           XdpParent *parent,
                           XdpUpdateInstallFlags flags,
                           GCancellable *cancellable,
                           GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                           gpointer data);

Installs an available software update. This should be called in response to a “update-available” signal.

During the update installation, the “update-progress” signal will be emitted to provide progress information.

Parameters

portal

a XdpPortal

 

parent

a XdpParent

 

flags

options for this call

 

cancellable

optional GCancellable.

[nullable]

xdp_portal_update_install_finish ()

gboolean
xdp_portal_update_install_finish (XdpPortal *portal,
                                  GAsyncResult *result,
                                  GError **error);

Finishes an update-installation request, and returns the result in the form of boolean.

Note that the update may not be completely installed by the time this function is called. You need to listen to the “update-progress” signal to learn when the installation is complete.

Parameters

a XdpPortal

 

result

a GAsyncResult

 

error

return location for an error

 

Returns

TRUE if the update is being installed
