150 * Optional API for GIO modules to implement.
151 *
152 * Should return a list of all the extension points that may be
153 * implemented in this module.
154 *
155 * This method will not be called in normal use, however it may be
156 * called when probing existing modules and recording which extension
157 * points that this model is used for. This means we won't have to
158 * load and initialize this module unless its needed.
159 *
160 * If this function is not implemented by the module the module will
161 * always be loaded, initialized and then unloaded on application
162 * startup so that it can register its extension points during init.
163 *
164 * Note that a module need not actually implement all the extension
165 * points that g_io_module_query() returns, since the exact list of
166 * extension may depend on runtime issues. However all extension
167 * points actually implemented must be returned by g_io_module_query()
168 * (if defined).
169 *
170 * When installing a module that implements g_io_module_query() you must
171 * run gio-querymodules in order to build the cache files required for
172 * lazy loading.
173 *
174 * Since 2.56, this function should be named `g_io_<modulename>_query`, where
175 * `modulename` is the plugin’s filename with the `lib` or `libgio` prefix and
176 * everything after the first dot removed, and with `-` replaced with `_`
177 * throughout. For example, `libgiognutls-helper.so` becomes `gnutls_helper`.
178 * Using the new symbol names avoids name clashes when building modules
179 * statically. The old symbol names continue to be supported, but cannot be used
180 * for static builds.
181 *
182 * Returns: (transfer full): A %NULL-terminated array of strings,
183 * listing the supported extension points of the module. The array
184 * must be suitable for freeing with g_strfreev().
