glib programming tutorial (c)

Anyone know where I could find a tutorial on how to use glib . I'd like to know more about GString and the other string stuff in that 'class'. All the info I've found by googling and searching this forum were mostly about GList and GSList.

devhelp will be good reference.

Code:

GString

typedef struct {
  gchar  *str;
  gsize len;    
  gsize allocated_len;
} GString;

The GString struct contains the public fields of a GString. The str field points to the character data. It may move as text is added. The len field contains the length of the string, not including the terminating nul byte.

The str field is nul-terminated and so can be used as an ordinary C string. But it may be moved when text is appended or inserted into the string.

BTW, http://www.gnomefiles.org is good for source code studying.
