### bonobo_server_info_prop_find ()

    Bonobo_ActivationProperty* bonobo_server_info_prop_find
                                                (Bonobo_ServerInfo *server,
                                                 const char *prop_name);

Tries to find a server with the given property. Returns NULL if not found.

`server` : | the server where to seek the data.
`prop_name` : | the data to seek in the server.
Returns : | a pointer to the `Bonobo_ActivationProperty` structure.

### bonobo_activation_info_stringify ()

    Bonobo_ActivationID bonobo_activation_info_stringify
                                                (const BonoboActivationInfo *actinfo);

### Warning

`bonobo_activation_info_stringify` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Serializes `actinfo` into a char *. Should be freed with `g_free()`.

`actinfo` : | the `BonoboActivationInfo` to flatten.
Returns : | the serialized version of `actinfo`.

### bonobo_activation_servinfo_to_actinfo ()

    BonoboActivationInfo* bonobo_activation_servinfo_to_actinfo
                                                (const Bonobo_ServerInfo *servinfo);

### Warning

`bonobo_activation_servinfo_to_actinfo` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

This function converts a `Bonobo_ServerInfo` structure to a `BonoboActivationInfo` structure. The returned structure should be freed with bonobo_activation_info_free.

`servinfo` : | An array of `Bonobo_ServerInfo` structures.
Returns : | a newly allocated initialized `BonoboActivationInfo` structure.

### bonobo_activation_id_parse ()

    BonoboActivationInfo* bonobo_activation_id_parse
                                                (const CORBA_char *actid);

### Warning

`bonobo_activation_id_parse` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Returns a pointer to a newly allocated `BonoboActivationInfo` structure (to be freed with bonobo_activation_info_free) initialized with the data of `actid`.

`actid` : | the activation id structure.
Returns : | the `BonoboActivationInfo` corresponding to `actid`.

### bonobo_activation_info_new ()

    BonoboActivationInfo* bonobo_activation_info_new
                                                (void);

### Warning

`bonobo_activation_info_new` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

This function allocates a `BonoboActicationInfo` structure and returns it. Should NOT be called from outside of this code.

Returns : | a newly allocated non-initialized `BonoboActicationInfo` structure.

### bonobo_activation_info_free ()

    void        bonobo_activation_info_free     (BonoboActivationInfo *actinfo);

### Warning

`bonobo_activation_info_free` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Frees `actinfo`.

`actinfo` : | the `BonoboActivationInfo` structure to free.

### bonobo_server_info_prop_lookup ()

    const char* bonobo_server_info_prop_lookup  (Bonobo_ServerInfo *server,
                                                 const char *prop_name,
