About

The examples are mostly taken from https://spk121.github.io/guile-gi/Tutorial.html or adapted from the examples there.

Activate environment

bash guix-env/env.sh

Generating docs

One can invoke a command to generate docs for GLib as follows:

guild gi-gtkdoc --format=html --output=docs --namespace=GLib --version=2.0

This will create a directory named docs, as specified by the argument --output=docs. In that directory there should be an index.html, which one can open in a browser. On that page, there should be a link labeled Functions. Clicking that link will direct to a page, which describes some functions.
