NAME

Glib::VariantType − Utilities for dealing with the GVariant type system

HIERARCHY

Glib::Boxed
+−−−−Glib::VariantType

METHODS

varianttype = Glib::VariantType−>new ($type_string)

•

$type_string (string)

varianttype = Glib::VariantType−>new_array ($element)

•

$element (Glib::VariantType)

varianttype = Glib::VariantType−>new_dict_entry ($key, $value)

	•		$key (Glib::VariantType)
	•		$value (Glib::VariantType)

varianttype = Glib::VariantType−>new_maybe ($element)

•

$element (Glib::VariantType)

varianttype = Glib::VariantType−>new_tuple ($items)

•

$items (scalar)

varianttype = $type−>element

boolean = $type1−>equal ($type2)

•

$type2 (Glib::VariantType)

varianttype = $type−>first

integer = $type−>hash

boolean = $type−>is_array

boolean = $type−>is_basic

boolean = $type−>is_container

boolean = $type−>is_definite

boolean = $type−>is_dict_entry

boolean = $type−>is_maybe

boolean = $type−>is_subtype_of ($supertype)

•

$supertype (Glib::VariantType)

boolean = $type−>is_tuple

boolean = $type−>is_variant

varianttype = $type−>key

unsigned = $type−>n_items

varianttype = $type−>next

scalar = $type−>get_string

boolean = Glib::VariantType::string_is_valid ($type_string)

•

$type_string (string)

(type_string, rest) = Glib::VariantType::string_scan ($string)

Scans the start of $string for a complete type string and extracts it. If no type string can be found, an exception is thrown.

varianttype = $type−>value
