### Method

# GLib Bytesget_data

since: 2.32

#### Declaration [src]

    gconstpointer
    g_bytes_get_data (
      GBytes* bytes,
      gsize* size
    )

#### Description [src]

Get the byte data in the `GBytes`.

This data should not be modified.

This function will always return the same pointer for a given `GBytes`.

`NULL` may be returned if `size` is 0. This is not guaranteed, as the `GBytes` may represent an empty string with `data` non-`NULL` and `size` as 0. `NULL` will not be returned if `size` is non-zero.

Available since: 2.32

#### Parameters

`size`

  Type: `gsize*`

  Location to return size of byte data.

  The argument will be set by the function.
  The argument can be `NULL`.

#### Return value

Type: An array of `guint8`

a pointer to the byte data.

The length of the array is in the `size` argument.
