#### Description [src]

    final class GIRepository.ObjectInfo : GObject.TypeInstance
    {
      /* No available fields */
    }

`GIObjectInfo` represents a classed type.

Classed types in `GType` inherit from `GTypeInstance`; the most common type is `GObject`.

A `GIObjectInfo` doesn’t represent a specific instance of a classed type, instead this represent the object type (i.e. the class).

A `GIObjectInfo` has methods, fields, properties, signals, interfaces, constants and virtual functions.
