format | Returns a value sutable to pass to the GeglBuffer constructor or any other property that expects a Babl format. since: 0.4
format_get_name | since: 0.4
free | Frees the memory pointed to by `mem`. If `mem` is NULL, does nothing. since: 0.4
get_option_group | Returns a GOptionGroup for the commandline arguments recognized by GEGL. You should add this group to your GOptionContext with `g_option_context_add_group()` if you are using `g_option_context_parse()` to parse your commandline arguments. since: 0.4
