Method
GLibVariantget_bytestring
since: 2.26
Declaration [src]
const gchar*
g_variant_get_bytestring (
GVariant* value
)
Description [src]
Returns the string value of a GVariant instance with an
array-of-bytes type. The string has no particular encoding.
If the array does not end with a nul terminator character, the empty
string is returned. For this reason, you can always trust that a
non-NULL nul-terminated string will be returned by this function.
If the array contains a nul terminator character somewhere other than the last byte then the returned string is the string, up to the first such nul character.
g_variant_get_fixed_array() should be used instead if the array contains
arbitrary data that could not be nul-terminated or could contain nul bytes.
It is an error to call this function with a value that is not an
array of bytes.
The return value remains valid as long as value exists.
