Declaration [src]
gconstpointer
g_variant_get_fixed_array (
GVariant* value,
gsize* n_elements,
gsize element_size
)
Description [src]
Provides access to the serialized data for an array of fixed-sized items.
value must be an array with fixed-sized elements. Numeric types are
fixed-size, as are tuples containing only other fixed-sized types.
element_size must be the size of a single element in the array,
as given by the section on
serialized data memory.
In particular, arrays of these fixed-sized types can be interpreted
as an array of the given C type, with element_size set to the size
the appropriate type:
- G_VARIANT_TYPE_INT16 (etc.): #gint16 (etc.)
- G_VARIANT_TYPE_BOOLEAN: #guchar (not #gboolean!)
- G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTE: #guint8
- G_VARIANT_TYPE_HANDLE: #guint32
- G_VARIANT_TYPE_DOUBLE: #gdouble
For example, if calling this function for an array of 32-bit integers,
you might say sizeof(gint32). This value isn’t used except for the purpose
of a double-check that the form of the serialized data matches the caller’s expectation.
n_elements, which must be non-NULL, is set equal to the number of
items in the array.
