/**
 * g_dbus_gvalue_to_gvariant:
 * @gvalue: A #GValue to convert to a #GVariant
 * @type: A #GVariantType
 *
 * Converts a #GValue to a #GVariant of the type indicated by the @type
 * parameter.
 *
 * The conversion is using the following rules:
 *
 * - `G_TYPE_STRING`: 's', 'o', 'g' or 'ay'
 * - `G_TYPE_STRV`: 'as', 'ao' or 'aay'
 * - `G_TYPE_BOOLEAN`: 'b'
 * - `G_TYPE_UCHAR`: 'y'
 * - `G_TYPE_INT`: 'i', 'n'
 * - `G_TYPE_UINT`: 'u', 'q'
 * - `G_TYPE_INT64`: 'x'
 * - `G_TYPE_UINT64`: 't'
 * - `G_TYPE_DOUBLE`: 'd'
 * - `G_TYPE_VARIANT`: Any #GVariantType
 *
 * This can fail if e.g. @gvalue is of type %G_TYPE_STRING and @type
 * is 'i', i.e. %G_VARIANT_TYPE_INT32. It will also fail for any #GType
 * (including e.g. %G_TYPE_OBJECT and %G_TYPE_BOXED derived-types) not
 * in the table above.
 *
 * Note that if @gvalue is of type %G_TYPE_VARIANT and its value is
 * %NULL, the empty #GVariant instance (never %NULL) for @type is
 * returned (e.g. 0 for scalar types, the empty string for string types,
 * '/' for object path types, the empty array for any array type and so on).
 *
 * See the g_dbus_gvariant_to_gvalue() function for how to convert a
 * #GVariant to a #GValue.
 *
 * Returns: (transfer full): A #GVariant (never floating) of
 *     #GVariantType @type holding the data from @gvalue or an empty #GVariant
 *     in case of failure. Free with g_variant_unref().

/**
 * g_dbus_escape_object_path_bytestring:
 * @bytes: (array zero-terminated=1) (element-type guint8): the string of bytes to escape
 *
 * Escapes @bytes for use in a D-Bus object path component.
 * @bytes is an array of zero or more nonzero bytes in an
 * unspecified encoding, followed by a single zero byte.
 *
 * The escaping method consists of replacing all non-alphanumeric
 * characters (see g_ascii_isalnum()) with their hexadecimal value
 * preceded by an underscore (`_`). For example:
 * `foo.bar.baz` will become `foo_2ebar_2ebaz`.
 *
 * This method is appropriate to use when the input is nearly
 * a valid object path component but is not when your input
 * is far from being a valid object path component.
 * Other escaping algorithms are also valid to use with
 * D-Bus object paths.
 *
 * This can be reversed with g_dbus_unescape_object_path().
 *
 * Returns: an escaped version of @bytes. Free with g_free().
 *
 * Since: 2.68
