GLibVariantget_size

since: 2.24

Declaration

gsize
g_variant_get_size (
  GVariant* value
)

Description

Determines the number of bytes that would be required to store value with g_variant_store().

If value has a fixed-sized type then this function always returned that fixed size.

In the case that value is already in serialized form or the size has already been calculated (ie: this function has been called before) then this function is O(1). Otherwise, the size is calculated, an operation which is approximately O(n) in the number of values involved.

Available since: 2.24

Return value

Type: gsize

The serialized size of value.
