# GIRepository RegisteredTypeInfo

since: 2.80

#### Description

    abstract class GIRepository.RegisteredTypeInfo : GObject.TypeInstance
    {
      /* No available fields */
    }

`GIRegisteredTypeInfo` represents an entity with a `GType` associated.

Could be either a `GIEnumInfo`, `GIInterfaceInfo`, `GIObjectInfo`, `GIStructInfo` or a `GIUnionInfo`.

A registered type info struct has a name and a type function.

To get the name call `gi_registered_type_info_get_type_name()`. Most users want to call `gi_registered_type_info_get_g_type()` and don’t worry about the rest of the details.

If the registered type is a subtype of `G_TYPE_BOXED`, `gi_registered_type_info_is_boxed()` will return true, and `gi_registered_type_info_get_type_name()` is guaranteed to return a non-`NULL` value. This is relevant for the `GIStructInfo` and `GIUnionInfo` subclasses.
