 * SECTION:strings
 * @title: Strings
 * @short_description: text buffers which grow automatically
 *     as text is added
 *
 * A #GString is an object that handles the memory management of a C
 * string for you.  The emphasis of #GString is on text, typically
 * UTF-8.  Crucially, the "str" member of a #GString is guaranteed to
 * have a trailing nul character, and it is therefore always safe to
 * call functions such as strchr() or g_strdup() on it.
 *
 * However, a #GString can also hold arbitrary binary data, because it
 * has a "len" member, which includes any possible embedded nul
 * characters in the data.  Conceptually then, #GString is like a
 * #GByteArray with the addition of many convenience methods for text,
 * and a guaranteed nul terminator.
 */

/**
 * GString:
 * @str: points to the character data. It may move as text is added.
 *   The @str field is null-terminated and so
 *   can be used as an ordinary C string.
 * @len: contains the length of the string, not including the
 *   terminating nul byte.
 * @allocated_len: the number of bytes that can be stored in the
 *   string before it needs to be reallocated. May be larger than @len.
 *
 * The GString struct contains the public fields of a GString.
