 * @short_description: Struct representing a type
 *
 * GITypeInfo represents a type. You can retrieve a type info from
 * an argument (see #GIArgInfo), a functions return value (see #GIFunctionInfo),
 * a field (see #GIFieldInfo), a property (see #GIPropertyInfo), a constant
 * (see #GIConstantInfo) or for a union discriminator (see #GIUnionInfo).
 *
 * A type can either be a of a basic type which is a standard C primitive
 * type or an interface type. For interface types you need to call
 * g_type_info_get_interface() to get a reference to the base info for that
 * interface.
