Declaration

GVariantBuilder*
g_variant_builder_new (
  const GVariantType* type
)

Description

Allocates and initialises a new GVariantBuilder.

You should call g_variant_builder_unref() on the return value when it is no longer needed. The memory will not be automatically freed by any other call.

In most cases it is easier to place a GVariantBuilder directly on the stack of the calling function and initialise it with g_variant_builder_init().
