Description [src]

Looks up a value in a GVariantDict.

This function is a wrapper around g_variant_dict_lookup_value() and g_variant_get(). In the case that NULL would have been returned, this function returns FALSE and does not modify the values of the arguments passed in to @…. Otherwise, it unpacks the returned value and returns TRUE.

format_string determines the C types that are used for unpacking the values and also determines if the values are copied or borrowed, see the section on GVariant format strings.
