 192    "CL-GTK2-GOBJECT is a binding to GObject type system.
 193 For information on GObject, see its @a[http://library.gnome.org/devel/gobject/stable/]{documentation}.
 194
 195 CL-GTK2-GOBJECT is structured as follows:
 196 @itemize{
 197 @item{Binding to GObject API, providing low-level means to use functionality of GObject. This includes introspection facilities and means to invoke functionality of GObject.}

 200
 201 @begin[GObject instrospection API]{section}
 202 The base of GObject type system is GType. GType is a numerical value that is the unique identifier of a registered type.
 203 Each GType has a name that is retrieved with @fun{g-type-name}. Conversely, GType can be retrieved from its name via @fun{g-type-from-name}.
 204
 205 There are several predefined GType values that correspond to fundamental or base types.

 230 GType values form type hierarchies via signle inheritance. Functions @fun{g-type-parent} and @fun{g-type-children} enable to traverse through the type hierarchy.
 231
 232 For some types, additional information is available. Functions @fun{class-properties} and @fun{interface-properties} return properties of classes and interfaces. Functions @fun{get-enum-items} and @fun{get-flags-items} return members of enum and flags types.

 239 GObject uses GValues as a generic way to pass values. It is used when calling closures, emitting signals, setting and getting properties' values, passing values to object constructors. @class{g-value} foreign structure is used for holding GValue. It used like all foreign structures: either with @code{cffi:foreign-alloc} or with @code{cffi:with-foreign-object}. Before first use, @class{g-value} should be zeroed with @fun{g-value-zero}. Zeroed @class{g-value} may be configured to hold a GValue of a given type with @fun{g-value-init}. @fun{parse-g-value} retrieves the Lisp object corresponding to the value stored in GValue. @fun{set-g-value} sets the GValue from Lisp object.
