the number of bytes that can be stored in the
string before it needs to be reallocated. May be larger than len.
contains the length of the string, not including the terminating nul byte.
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.
Appends len bytes of val to string.
If len is positive, val may contain embedded nuls and need
not be nul-terminated. It is the caller's responsibility to
ensure that val has at least len addressable bytes.
If len is negative, val must be nul-terminated and len
is considered to request the entire string length. This
makes g_string_append_len() equivalent to g_string_append().
bytes to append
number of bytes of val to use, or -1 for all of val
Appends unescaped to string, escaping any characters that
are reserved in URIs using URI-style escape sequences.
a string
a string of reserved characters allowed to be used, or %NULL
set %TRUE if the escaped string may include UTF8 characters
Frees the memory allocated for the #GString.
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().
if %TRUE, the actual character data is freed as well
Transfers ownership of the contents of string to a newly allocated
#GBytes. The #GString structure itself is deallocated, and it is
therefore invalid to use string after invoking this function.
Note that while #GString ensures that its buffer always has a trailing nul character (not reflected in its "len"), the returned #GBytes does not include this extra nul; i.e. it has length exactly equal to the "len" member.
Creates a hash code for str; for use with #GHashTable.
Inserts len bytes of val into string at pos.
If len is positive, val may contain embedded nuls and need
not be nul-terminated. It is the caller's responsibility to
ensure that val has at least len addressable bytes.
If len is negative, val must be nul-terminated and len
is considered to request the entire string length.
If pos is -1, bytes are inserted at the end of the string.

Overwrites part of a string, lengthening it if necessary. This function will work with embedded nuls.

Prepends len bytes of val to string.
If len is positive, val may contain embedded nuls and need
not be nul-terminated. It is the caller's responsibility to
ensure that val has at least len addressable bytes.
If len is negative, val must be nul-terminated and len
is considered to request the entire string length. This
makes g_string_prepend_len() equivalent to g_string_prepend().
bytes to prepend
number of bytes in val to prepend, or -1 for all of val
Replaces the string find with the string replace in a #GString up to
limit times. If the number of instances of find in the #GString is
less than limit, all instances are replaced. If limit is 0,
all instances of find are replaced.
If find is the empty string, since versions 2.69.1 and 2.68.4 the
replacement will be inserted no more than once per possible position
(beginning of string, end of string and between characters). This did
not work correctly in earlier versions.
the string to find in string

Sets the length of a #GString. 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.)
the new length
Creates a new #GString 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.

The GString struct contains the public fields of a GString.
