Description: Reference for GObject.type_name

### Function

# GObjecttype_name

#### Declaration [src]

    const gchar*
    g_type_name (
      GType type
    )

#### Description [src]

Get the unique name that is assigned to a type ID.

Note that this function (like all other GType API) cannot cope with invalid type IDs. `G_TYPE_INVALID` may be passed to this function, as may be any other validly registered type ID, but randomized type IDs should not be passed in and will most likely lead to a crash.

  Type: `GType`

  Type to return name for.

#### Return value

Type: `const gchar*`

Static type name or `NULL`.

The data is owned by the called function.
The return value can be `NULL`.
The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
