<div class="textblock"><p>Defines a property that is exposed through the containers instance object (<a class="el" href="structToolsAppCtx.html#a88fa545c7fdc5415d1638eef49f306d9">ToolsAppCtx::serviceObj</a>). Plugins can expose properties through this mechanism to share state with other plugins. Properties can be accessed using GObject's g_set_property / g_get_property APIs, or monitored by registering for the "notify" signal on the object.</p>
<p>All properties exposed using this mechanism are opaque pointers. It's up for individual plugins to define the actual types of the properties.</p>
<p>Properties are not ref counted, so consumers (code calling "g_get_property") should be aware of the life cycle of the property as defined by the producer. </p>
