g_variant_new_from_bytes (

Description [src]

Constructs a new serialized-mode GVariant instance. This is the inner interface for creation of new serialized values that gets called from various functions in gvariant.c.

A reference is taken on bytes.

The data in bytes must be aligned appropriately for the type being loaded. Otherwise this function will internally create a copy of the memory (since GLib 2.60) or (in older versions) fail and exit the process.

Available since: 2.36
