NAME

       Glib::VariantType -  Utilities for dealing with the GVariant type system

HIERARCHY

         Glib::Boxed
         +----Glib::VariantType

METHODS

   varianttype = Glib::VariantType->new ($type_string)
       •   $type_string (string)

   varianttype = Glib::VariantType->new_array ($element)
       •   $element (Glib::VariantType)

   varianttype = Glib::VariantType->new_dict_entry ($key, $value)
       •   $key (Glib::VariantType)

       •   $value (Glib::VariantType)

   varianttype = Glib::VariantType->new_maybe ($element)
       •   $element (Glib::VariantType)

   varianttype = Glib::VariantType->new_tuple ($items)
       •   $items (scalar)

   varianttype = $type->element
   boolean = $type1->equal ($type2)
       •   $type2 (Glib::VariantType)

   varianttype = $type->first
   integer = $type->hash
   boolean = $type->is_array
   boolean = $type->is_basic
   boolean = $type->is_container
   boolean = $type->is_definite
   boolean = $type->is_dict_entry
   boolean = $type->is_maybe
   boolean = $type->is_subtype_of ($supertype)
       •   $supertype (Glib::VariantType)

   boolean = $type->is_tuple
   boolean = $type->is_variant
   varianttype = $type->key
   unsigned = $type->n_items
   varianttype = $type->next
   scalar = $type->get_string
   boolean = Glib::VariantType::string_is_valid ($type_string)
       •   $type_string (string)

   (type_string, rest) = Glib::VariantType::string_scan ($string)
       Scans the start of $string for a complete type string and extracts it.  If no type string
       can be found, an exception is thrown.

   varianttype = $type->value
