- error
- 
            Type: GError **The return location for a recoverable error. The argument can be NULL.If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to aNULLGError*.The argument will be left initialized to NULLby the function if there are no errors.In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

Type: gunichar2*
A pointer to a newly allocated UTF-16 string.
  This value must be freed with g_free().
