Method GTK2.TextIter()->backward_line()

Method backward_line

int backward_line()

Description

Moves to the start of the previous line. Returns true if this iter could be moved; i.e. if iter was at character offset 0, this function returns false. Therefore if it was already on line 0, but not at the start of the line, it is snapped to the start of the line and the function returns true. (Note that this implies that in a loop calling this function, the line number may not change on every iteration, if your first iteration is on line 0.)
