public class MetaContext

The <structname>GdaMetaContext</structname> represents a meta data modification context: the <emphasis>how</emphasis > when used with modify_with_context, and the <emphasis>what </emphasis> when used with update_meta_store.

To create a new MetaContext use MetaContext .

To add a new column/value pair use gda_meta_context_add_column.

To free a MetaContext, created by MetaContext, use gda_attributes_manager_free.

Since 5.2, you must consider this struct as opaque. Any access to its internal must use public API. Don't try to use free on a struct that was created manually.
