<a name="libvips-VipsOperation.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>The <span class="type">VipsOperation</span> class and associated types and macros.</p>
<p><span class="type">VipsOperation</span> is the base class for all operations in libvips. It builds
on <span class="type">VipsObject</span> to provide the introspection and command-line interface to
libvips. </p>
<p>It also maintains a cache of recent operations. See below. </p>
<p>vips_call(), <a class="link" href="libvips-VipsOperation.html#vips-call-split" title="vips_call_split ()"><code class="function">vips_call_split()</code></a> and <a class="link" href="libvips-VipsOperation.html#vips-call-split-option-string" title="vips_call_split_option_string ()"><code class="function">vips_call_split_option_string()</code></a> are used
by vips to implement the C API. They can execute any <span class="type">VipsOperation</span>,
passing in a set of required and optional arguments. Normally you would not
use these functions directly: every operation has a tiny wrapper function
which provides type-safety for the required arguments. For example,
<a class="link" href="libvips-conversion.html#vips-embed" title="vips_embed ()"><code class="function">vips_embed()</code></a> is defined as:</p>
<div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">
int
vips_embed( VipsImage *in, VipsImage **out, 
  int x, int y, int width, int height, ... )
{
  va_list ap;
  int result;

  va_start( ap, height );
  result = vips_call_split( "embed", ap, in, out, x, y, width, height );
  va_end( ap );

  return( result );
}
</pre></div>
<p></p>
<p>Use <a class="link" href="libvips-VipsOperation.html#vips-call-argv" title="vips_call_argv ()"><code class="function">vips_call_argv()</code></a> to run any vips operation from a command-line style
argc/argv array. This is the thing used by the vips main program to
implement the vips command-line interface. </p>
<div class="refsect3">
<a name="id-1.3.6.7.9"></a><h4>
<span class="type">VipsOperation</span> and reference counting</h4>
<p>After calling a <span class="type">VipsOperation</span> you are responsible for unreffing any output
objects. For example, consider:</p>
<div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">
VipsImage *im = ...;
VipsImage *t1; 

if (vips_invert (im, &amp;t1, NULL)) 
  error ..
</pre></div>
<p></p>
<p>This will invert <em class="parameter"><code>im</code></em>
 and return a new <span class="type">VipsImage</span>, <em class="parameter"><code>t1</code></em>
. As the caller
of <a class="link" href="libvips-arithmetic.html#vips-invert" title="vips_invert ()"><code class="function">vips_invert()</code></a>, you are responsible for <em class="parameter"><code>t1</code></em>
 and must unref it when you no
longer need it. If <a class="link" href="libvips-arithmetic.html#vips-invert" title="vips_invert ()"><code class="function">vips_invert()</code></a> fails, no <em class="parameter"><code>t1</code></em>
 is returned and you don't
need to do anything. </p>
<p>If you don't need to use <em class="parameter"><code>im</code></em>
 for another operation, 
you can unref <em class="parameter"><code>im</code></em>
 immediately after the call. If <em class="parameter"><code>im</code></em>
 is needed to calculate
<em class="parameter"><code>t1</code></em>
, <a class="link" href="libvips-arithmetic.html#vips-invert" title="vips_invert ()"><code class="function">vips_invert()</code></a> will add a ref to <em class="parameter"><code>im</code></em>
 and automatically drop it when <em class="parameter"><code>t1</code></em>

is unreffed.</p>
<p>Consider running two operations, one after the other. You could write:</p>
<div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">
VipsImage *im = ...;
VipsImage *t1, *t2;

if (vips_invert (im, &amp;t1, NULL)) {
  g_object_unref (im);
  return -1;
}
g_object_unref (im);

if (vips_flip (t1, &amp;t2, VIPS_DIRECTION_HORIZONTAL, NULL)) {
  g_object_unref (t1);
  return -1;
}
g_object_unref (t1);
</pre></div>
<p></p>
<p>This is correct, but rather long-winded. libvips provides a handy thing to
make a vector of auto-freeing object references. You can write this as:</p>
<div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">
VipsObject *parent = ...;
VipsImage *im = ...;
VipsImage *t = (VipsImage **) vips_object_local_array (parent, 2);

if (vips_invert (im, &amp;t[0], NULL) ||
  vips_flip (t[0], &amp;t[1], VIPS_DIRECTION_HORIZONTAL, NULL))
  return -1;
</pre></div>
<p></p>
<p>where <em class="parameter"><code>parent</code></em>
 is some enclosing object which will be unreffed when this
task is complete. <a class="link" href="libvips-VipsObject.html#vips-object-local-array" title="vips_object_local_array ()"><code class="function">vips_object_local_array()</code></a> makes an array of <span class="type">VipsObject</span>
(or <span class="type">VipsImage</span>, in this case) where when <em class="parameter"><code>parent</code></em>
 is freed, all non-NULL
<span class="type">VipsObject</span> in the array are also unreffed.</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect3">
<a name="id-1.3.6.7.10"></a><h4>The <span class="type">VipsOperation</span> cache</h4>
<p>Because all <span class="type">VipsObject</span> are immutable, they can be cached. The cache is
very simple to use: instead of calling <a class="link" href="libvips-VipsObject.html#vips-object-build" title="vips_object_build ()"><code class="function">vips_object_build()</code></a>, call 
<a class="link" href="libvips-VipsOperation.html#vips-cache-operation-build" title="vips_cache_operation_build ()"><code class="function">vips_cache_operation_build()</code></a>. This function calculates a hash from the
operations's input arguments and looks it up in table of all recent
operations. If there's a hit, the new operation is unreffed, the old
operation reffed, and the old operation returned in place of the new one.</p>
<p>The cache size is controlled with <a class="link" href="libvips-VipsOperation.html#vips-cache-set-max" title="vips_cache_set_max ()"><code class="function">vips_cache_set_max()</code></a> and friends.</p>

You can run it with <a class="link" href="libvips-VipsOperation.html#vips-call" title="vips_call ()"><code class="function">vips_call()</code></a> like this: </p>
