gTypeToString
fn
string gTypeToString(gobject.types.GType type)Converts a GType to its string representation (use gda.global.gTypeFromString for the operation in the other direction).
This function wraps gobject.global.typeName but for common types it provides an easier to understand and remember name. For Example the G_TYPE_STRING is converted to "string" whereas gobject.global.typeName converts it to "gchararray".
Parameters
type | Type to convert from. |
Returns
the GDA's string representing the given #GType or the name
