gchar* g_strdup (const gchar *str);
Duplicates a string. The returned string should be freed when no
longer needed.
str : the string to duplicate.
Returns : a newly-allocated copy of str.
"A newly-allocated copy of str."
I suppose it could have an entire paragraph that details how it happens
to use g_new() and strcpy() underneath... but really...
Anybody who has ever used C before for any length of time, knows what
strdup() is. One would assume that g_strdup() worked very similar to
strdup()...
I suggest you read the documentation over once before beginning.
