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
