Function

GLibVariantDictnew

since: 2.40

Declaration

GVariantDict*
g_variant_dict_new (
  GVariant* from_asv
)

Description

Allocates and initialises a new GVariantDict.

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

In some cases it may be easier to place a GVariantDict directly on the stack of the calling function and initialise it with g_variant_dict_init(). This is particularly useful when you are using GVariantDict to construct a GVariant.

Available since: 2.40

The argument can be NULL.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.

Return value

Type: GVariantDict

A GVariantDict.

The caller of the function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
