public class Type
extends java.lang.Object

This class represents the GLib Runtime type identification and management system. It provides the facilities for registering and managing all fundamental data types. It should be for internal use only and not be exposed outside of the library.

Type(String name)
Construct a Type by its' name.
Type(int handle)
Construct a new Type from a integer that represents the type.
