A GIFieldInfo struct represents a field of a struct (see GIStructInfo),
union (see GIUnionInfo) or an object (see GIObjectInfo). The GIFieldInfo
is fetched by calling g_struct_info_get_field(), g_union_info_get_field()
or g_object_info_get_field().
A field has a size, type and a struct offset asssociated and a set of flags,
which is currently GI_FIELD_IS_READABLE or GI_FIELD_IS_WRITABLE.
gboolean g_field_info_get_field (GIFieldInfo *field_info,gpointer mem,GIArgument *value);
Reads a field identified by a GIFieldInfo from a C structure or union. This only handles fields of simple C types. It will fail for a field of a composite type like a nested structure or union even if that is actually readable.

gboolean g_field_info_set_field (GIFieldInfo *field_info,gpointer mem,const GIArgument *value);
Writes a field identified by a GIFieldInfo to a C structure or union. This only handles fields of simple C types. It will fail for a field of a composite type like a nested structure or union even if that is actually writable. Note also that that it will refuse to write fields where memory management would by required. A field with a type such as 'char *' must be set with a setter function.

GIFieldInfoFlags
g_field_info_get_flags (GIFieldInfo *info);
Obtain the flags for this GIFieldInfo. See GIFieldInfoFlags for possible flag values.
gint
g_field_info_get_offset (GIFieldInfo *info);
Obtain the offset in bytes of the field member, this is relative to the beginning of the struct or union.
gint
g_field_info_get_size (GIFieldInfo *info);
Obtain the size in bits of the field member, this is how much space you need to allocate to store the field.
GITypeInfo *
g_field_info_get_type (GIFieldInfo *info);
Obtain the type of a field as a GITypeInfo.
