NAME
Glib::Variant - strongly typed value datatypeSYNOPSIS
my $v = Glib::Variant->new ('as', ['GTK+', 'Perl']); my $aref = $v->get ('as');
DESCRIPTION
There are two sets of APIs for creating and dealing with "Glib::Variant"s: the low-level API described below under ``METHODS'', and the convenience API described in this section.CONVENIENCE API
- variant = Glib::Variant->new ($format_string, $value)
- (variant1, ...) = Glib::Variant->new ($format_string, $value1, ...)
- Constructs a variant from $format_string and $value. Also supports constructing multiple variants when the format string is a concatenation of multiple types.
- value = $variant->get ($format_string)
- Deconstructs $variant according to $format_string.
The following symbols are currently supported in format strings:
+------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | Symbol | Meaning | +------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | b, y, n, q, i, u, x, t, h, d | Boolean, byte and numeric types | | s, o, g | String types | | v | Variant types | | a | Arrays | | m | Maybe types | | () | Tuples | | {} | Dictionary entries | +------------------------------+---------------------------------+
Note that if a format string specifies an array, a tuple or a dictionary entry (``a'', ``()'' or ``{}''), then array references are expected by "new" and produced by "get". For arrays of dictionary entries (``a{}''), hash references are also supported by "new" and handled as you would expect.
