/**
* GRefString:
*
* A typedef for a reference-counted string. A pointer to a #GRefString can be
* treated like a standard `char*` array by all code, but can additionally have
* `g_ref_string_*()` methods called on it. `g_ref_string_*()` methods cannot be
* called on `char*` arrays not allocated using g_ref_string_new().
*
* If using #GRefString with autocleanups, g_autoptr() must be used rather than
* g_autofree(), so that the reference counting metadata is also freed.
*
* Since: 2.58
