+A <a class="link" href="glib-Strings.html#GString" title="GString"><span class="type">GString</span></a> is an object that handles the memory management of a C string

+In addition to the string itself, GString stores the length of the string,
+so can be used for binary data with embedded nul bytes. To access the C
+string managed by the GString <em class="parameter"><code>string</code></em>, simply use <em class="parameter"><code>string-&gt;str</code></em>.
