* GITypeInfo:
*
* GITypeInfo represents a type.
* `GITypeInfo` represents a type, including information about direction and
* transfer.
*
* You can retrieve a type info from an argument (see #GIArgInfo), a
* functions return value (see #GIFunctionInfo), a field (see
* #GIFieldInfo), a property (see #GIPropertyInfo), a constant
* (see #GIConstantInfo) or for a union discriminator (see #GIUnionInfo).
* You can retrieve a type info from an argument (see
* [class@GIRepository.ArgInfo]), a functions return value (see
* [class@GIRepository.FunctionInfo]), a field (see
* [class@GIRepository.FieldInfo]), a property (see
* [class@GIRepository.PropertyInfo]), a constant (see
* [class@GIRepository.ConstantInfo]) or for a union discriminator (see
* [class@GIRepository.UnionInfo]).
*
* A type can either be a of a basic type which is a standard C primitive
* type or an interface type. For interface types you need to call
* gi_type_info_get_interface() to get a reference to the base info for that
* interface.
* [method@GIRepository.TypeInfo.get_interface] to get a reference to the base
* info for that interface.
