GIRepositoryObjectInfo
since: 2.80
Description
final class GIRepository.ObjectInfo : GObject.TypeInstance {
/* No available fields */
}GIObjectInfo represents a classed type.
Classed types in GType inherit from
GTypeInstance; the most common type is GObject.
A GIObjectInfo doesn’t represent a specific instance of a classed type,
instead this represent the object type (i.e. the class).
A GIObjectInfo has methods, fields, properties, signals, interfaces,
constants and virtual functions.
