gsk:render-node-serialize (node)

node -- a gsk:render-node instance

The g:bytes instance representing the node.

Serializes the node for later deserialization via the gsk:render-node-deserialize function. No guarantees are made about the format used other than that the same version of GTK will be able to deserialize the result of a call to the gsk:render-node-serialize and gsk:render-node-deserialize functions will correctly reject files it cannot open that were created with previous versions of GTK.

The intended use of this functions is testing, benchmarking and debugging. The format is not meant as a permanent storage format.
