string_scan


Description:

public static bool string_scan (string type_string, char* limit, out char* endptr)

Scan for a single complete and valid GVariant type string in string.

The memory pointed to by limit (or bytes beyond it) is never accessed.

If a valid type string is found, endptr is updated to point to the first character past the end of the string that was found and true is returned.

If there is no valid type string starting at string, or if the type string does not end before limit then false is returned.

For the simple case of checking if a string is a valid type string, see string_is_valid.

Parameters:

limit

the end of string, or null

endptr

location to store the end pointer, or null

string

a pointer to any string

Returns:

true if a valid type string was found
