GIRepositoryTypeInfo

Description
final class GIRepository.TypeInfo : GObject.TypeInstance {
/* No available fields */
}GITypeInfo represents a type, including information about direction and transfer.
You can retrieve a type info from an argument (see
GIArgInfo), a function’s return value (see
GIFunctionInfo), a field (see
GIFieldInfo), a property (see
GIPropertyInfo), a constant (see
GIConstantInfo) or for a union discriminator (see
GIUnionInfo).
A type can either be a of a basic type which is a standard C primitive
type or an interface type. For interface types you need to call
gi_type_info_get_interface() to get a reference to the base
info for that interface.
