glib:variant-string (value)

value -- a g:variant instance for a string

The constant string, UTF-8 encoded.

Returns the string value of value. This includes the g:variant-type types with the "s", "o", and "g" type strings. The string will always be UTF-8 encoded. It is an error to call this function with a value of any type other than those three. The return value remains valid as long as value exists. See the g:variant-new-string function for an example.
