<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
A #GString is similar to a standard C string, except that it grows
automatically as text is appended or inserted. Also, it stores the
length of the string, so can be used for binary data with embedded
nul bytes.
A #GString is an object that handles the memory management of a C string
for you. You can think of it as similar to a Java StringBuffer.
In addition to the string itself, GString stores the length of the string,
so can be used for binary data with embedded nul bytes. To access the C
string managed by the GString @string, simply use @string->str.
