parseEnum

fnbool parseEnum(gobject.types.GType type, string str, out int value, bool warn, out string possibleValues)

Parses an enum type and stores the result in value.

If str does not match the nick name of any of the possible values for the enum and is not an integer, false is returned, a warning is issued if warn is true, and a string representing the list of possible values is stored in possible_values. The list is slash-separated, eg. "none/start/middle/end".

If failed and possible_values is not null, returned string should be freed using [glib.global.gfree].

Parameters

`type`	enum type to parse, eg. `PANGO_TYPE_ELLIPSIZE_MODE`
`str`	string to parse
`value`	integer to store the result in
`warn`	if true, issue a g_warning() on bad input
`possibleValues`	place to store list of possible values on failure

Returns

true if str was successfully parsed
