GObject.Value.take_variant

### Method

# GObject Valuetake_variant

since: 2.26

#### Declaration [src]

    void
    g_value_take_variant (
      GValue* value,
      GVariant* variant
    )

#### Description [src]

Set the contents of a variant `GValue` to `variant`, and takes over the ownership of the caller’s reference to `variant`; the caller doesn’t have to unref it any more (i.e. the reference count of the variant is not increased).

If `variant` was floating then its floating reference is converted to a hard reference.

If you want the `GValue` to hold its own reference to `variant`, use `g_value_set_variant()` instead.

This is an internal function introduced mainly for C marshallers.

Available since: 2.26

#### Parameters

`variant`

  Type: `GVariant`

  A `GVariant`, or `NULL`.

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  The instance takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
