Functions
New(init @ Std.String.T) : Gtk.Glib.GString.T
Creates a new T, initialized with the given string.
init | the initial text to copy into the string |
Returns | the new T |
NewLen(init @ Std.String.T, len @ Std.Integer.SmallT) : Gtk.Glib.GString.T
Creates a new T with len bytes of the init buffer. Because a length is provided, init need not be nul-terminated, and can contain embedded nul bytes.
Since this function does not stop at nul bytes, it is the caller's responsibility to ensure that init has at least len addressable bytes.
init | initial contents of the string |
len | length of init to use |
Returns | a new T |
SizedNew(dfl_size @ Std.Integer.SmallT) : Gtk.Glib.GString.T
Creates a new T, with enough space for dfl_size bytes. This is useful if you are going to add a lot of text to the string and don't want it to be reallocated too often.
dfl_size | the default size of the space allocated to hold the string |
Returns | the new T |
Methods
:"="(_ @ T, _ @ T)

val | bytes to append |
len | number of bytes of val to use |
Returns | string |
:AppendPrintf(self @ T, format @ Std.String.T, ... @ Std.Object.T) : Std.Object.T
Appends a formatted string onto the end of a T. This function is similar to Printf except that the text is appended to the T.
string | a T |
format | the string format. See the printf() documentation |
... | the parameters to insert into the format string |
:AppendUnichar(self @ T, wc @ Std.Integer.SmallT) : Gtk.Glib.GString.T

Returns | string |
:AppendVprintf(self @ T, format @ Std.String.T, args @ Agg.List.T) : Std.Object.T
Appends a formatted string onto the end of a T. This function is similar to AppendPrintf except that the arguments to the format string are passed as a va_list.
string | a T |
format | the string format. See the printf() documentation |

:AsciiDown(self @ T) : Gtk.Glib.GString.T
Converts all upper case ASCII letters to lower case ASCII letters.

:AsciiUp(self @ T) : Gtk.Glib.GString.T
Converts all lower case ASCII letters to upper case ASCII letters.
string | a GString |
Returns | passed-in string pointer, with all the lower case characters converted to upper case in place, with semantics that exactly match Gtk.Glib.GStrfuncs.AsciiToupper. |
:Assign(self @ T, rval @ Std.String.T) : Gtk.Glib.GString.T
Copies the bytes from a string into a T, destroying any previous contents. It is rather like the standard strcpy() function, except that you do not have to worry about having enough space to copy the string.

rval | the string to copy into string |
Returns | string |
:Down(self @ T) : Gtk.Glib.GString.T
Warning
Down has been deprecated since version 2.2 and should not be used in newly-written code. This function uses the locale-specific tolower() function, which is almost never the right thing. Use AsciiDown or Gtk.Glib.GUnicode.Utf8Strdown instead.
:Equal(self @ T, v2 @ Gtk.Glib.GString.T) : Std.Symbol.T
Compares two strings for equality, returning TRUE if they are equal. For use with Gtk.Glib.GHashTable.T.
:Erase(self @ T, pos @ Std.Integer.SmallT, len @ Std.Integer.SmallT) : Gtk.Glib.GString.T
Removes len bytes from a T, starting at position pos. The rest of the T is shifted down to fill the gap.
string | a T |
pos | the position of the content to remove |
len | the number of bytes to remove, or -1 to remove all following bytes |
Returns | string |
:Free(self @ T, free_segment @ Std.Symbol.T) : Std.String.T
Frees the memory allocated for the T. If free_segment is TRUE it also frees the character data. If it's FALSE, the caller gains ownership of the buffer and must free it after use with g_free().
string | a T |
free_segment | if TRUE the actual character data is freed as well |
Returns | the character data of string (i.e. NULL if free_segment is TRUE) |
:Hash(self @ T) : Std.Integer.SmallT

Returns | string |
:InsertLen(self @ T, pos @ Std.Integer.SmallT, val @ Std.String.T, len @ Std.Integer.SmallT) : Gtk.Glib.GString.T
Inserts len bytes of val into string at pos. Because len is provided, val may contain embedded nuls and need not be nul-terminated. If pos is -1, bytes are inserted at the end of the string.
Since this function does not stop at nul bytes, it is the caller's responsibility to ensure that val has at least len addressable bytes.

Returns | string |
:PrependC(self @ T, c @ Std.String.T) : Gtk.Glib.GString.T
Adds a byte onto the start of a T, expanding it if necessary.
:PrependLen(self @ T, val @ Std.String.T, len @ Std.Integer.SmallT) : Gtk.Glib.GString.T
Prepends len bytes of val to string. Because len is provided, val may contain embedded nuls and need not be nul-terminated.
Since this function does not stop at nul bytes, it is the caller's responsibility to ensure that val has at least len addressable bytes.
string | a T |
val | bytes to prepend |
len | number of bytes in val to prepend |
Returns | string |

string | a T |
wc | a Unicode character |
Returns | string |
:Printf(self @ T, format @ Std.String.T, ... @ Std.Object.T) : Std.Object.T

string | a T |
format | the string format. See the printf() documentation |
... | the parameters to insert into the format string |
:SetSize(self @ T, len @ Std.Integer.SmallT) : Gtk.Glib.GString.T
Sets the length of a T. If the length is less than the current length, the string will be truncated. If the length is greater than the current length, the contents of the newly added area are undefined. (However, as always, string->str[string->len] will be a nul byte.)
string | a T |
len | the new length |
Returns | string |
:Str(self @ T) : Std.String.T
:Truncate(self @ T, len @ Std.Integer.SmallT) : Gtk.Glib.GString.T

string | a T |
len | the new size of string |
Returns | string |
:Up(self @ T) : Gtk.Glib.GString.T
Warning
Up has been deprecated since version 2.2 and should not be used in newly-written code. This function uses the locale-specific toupper() function, which is almost never the right thing. Use AsciiUp or Gtk.Glib.GUnicode.Utf8Strup instead.
:Vprintf(self @ T, format @ Std.String.T, args @ Agg.List.T) : Std.Object.T
Writes a formatted string into a T. This function is similar to Printf except that the arguments to the format string are passed as a va_list.
