## Description

## Details

### GOData

    typedef struct _GOData GOData;

### go_data_dup ()

    GOData*             go_data_dup                         (GOData const *src);

A deep copy of `src`.

`src` : | GOData
Returns : |

### go_data_eq ()

    gboolean            go_data_eq                          (GOData const *a,
                                                             GOData const *b);

`a` : | GOData
`b` : | GOData
Returns : | TRUE if `a` and `b` are the same

### go_data_preferred_fmt ()

    GOFormat*           go_data_preferred_fmt               (GOData const *dat);

Caller is responsible for unrefing the result.

`dat` : | GOData
Returns : | the fmt preferred by the the data

### go_data_as_str ()

    char*               go_data_as_str                      (GOData const *dat);

Return a string representation of the data source that the caller is responsible for freeing

NOTE : This is the _source_ not the content.

`dat` : | GOData
Returns : |

### go_data_from_str ()

    gboolean            go_data_from_str                    (GOData *dat,
                                                             char const *str);

De-serializes the source information returned from go_data_as_str.

`dat` : | GOData
`str` : |
Returns : | FALSE on error.

### go_data_emit_changed ()

    void                go_data_emit_changed                (GOData *dat);

protected utility to emit a 'changed' signal

`dat` : | GOData

## Signal Details

### The "changed" signal

    void                user_function                      (GOData  *godata,
                                                            gpointer user_data)      : Run Last

`godata` : | the object which received the signal.
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.
