Parameters

mask_string

The data is owned by the caller of the function.

The argument can be NULL.

If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to a NULL GError*.

In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.
