## Description

The helpers in this file each create a context structure to store the arguments passed to a standard GsPlugin vfunc.

These are intended to be used by plugin implementations to easily create GTasks for handling GsPlugin vfunc calls, without all having to write the same code to create a structure to wrap the vfunc arguments.

## Functions

### gs_plugin_refine_data_new ()

    GsPluginRefineData *
    gs_plugin_refine_data_new (GsAppList *list,
                               GsPluginRefineFlags flags);

Context data for a call to GsPluginClass.refine_async.

#### Parameters

list | list of GsApps to refine |
flags | refine flags |

#### Returns

context data structure.
