Strings
-
+text buffers which grow automatically as text is added.
-
+A #GString is similar to a standard C string, except that it grows automatically
+as text is appended or inserted. Also, it stores the length of the string, so
+can be used for binary data with embedded nul bytes.
-
+
+
-
+The #GString struct contains the public fields of a #GString.
+The str field points to the character data.
+It may move as text is added.
+The len field contains the length of the string,
+not including the terminating nul byte.
+
+
+The str field is nul-terminated and so can be used as an ordinary C
+string. But it may be moved when text is appended or inserted into the
+string.

+@allocated_len:

+@init: the initial text to copy into the string.
+@Returns: the new #GString.

+Creates a new #GString with @len bytes of the @init buffer. Because a length is
+provided, @init need not be nul-terminated, and can contain embedded nul bytes.

+@dfl_size: the default size of the space allocated to hold the string.
