	System.Type.
	
 
 
    mono_type_get_object
    Prototype: mono_type_get_object
  
 
    mono_type_create_from_typespec
    Prototype: mono_type_create_from_typespec
  
 
    mono_type_full_name
    Prototype: mono_type_full_name
  
 
    mono_type_get_array_type
    MonoArrayType*
mono_type_get_array_type (MonoType *type)
Parameters
type: the MonoType operated on
Returns
	  a MonoArrayType struct describing the array type that type
	 represents. The info includes details such as rank, array element type
	 and the sizes and bounds of multidimensional arrays.
Remarks
	 
	 It is only valid to call this function if 
type is a MONO_TYPE_ARRAY.
	
  
 
    mono_type_get_class
    MonoClass*
mono_type_get_class (MonoType *type)
Parameters
type: the MonoType operated on
Returns
	  the MonoClass pointer that describes the class that type represents.
Remarks
	 
	 It is only valid to call this function if 
type is a MONO_TYPE_CLASS or a
	 MONO_TYPE_VALUETYPE. For more general functionality, use mono_class_from_mono_type (),
	 instead
	
  
 
    mono_type_get_desc
    Prototype: mono_type_get_desc
  
 
    mono_type_get_modifiers
    Prototype: mono_type_get_modifiers
  
 
    mono_type_get_name
    char*
mono_type_get_name (MonoType *type)
Parameters
type: a type
Returns
	  the string representation for type as it would be represented in IL code.
  
 
    mono_type_get_signature
    MonoMethodSignature*
mono_type_get_signature (MonoType *type)
Parameters
type: the MonoType operated on
Returns
	  the MonoMethodSignature pointer that describes the signature
	 of the function pointer type represents.
Remarks
	 
	 It is only valid to call this function if 
type is a MONO_TYPE_FNPTR.
	
  
 
    mono_type_get_type
    int
mono_type_get_type (MonoType *type)
Parameters
type: the MonoType operated on
Returns
	  the IL type value for type. This is one of the MonoTypeEnum
	 enum members like MONO_TYPE_I4 or MONO_TYPE_STRING.
  
 
    mono_type_get_underlying_type
    Prototype: mono_type_get_underlying_type
  
 
    mono_type_is_byref
    gboolean
mono_type_is_byref (MonoType *type)
Parameters
type: the MonoType operated on
Returns
	  TRUE if type represents a type passed by reference,
	 FALSE otherwise.
  
 
    mono_type_size
    Prototype: mono_type_size
  
 
    mono_type_stack_size
    Prototype: mono_type_stack_size
  
 
    mono_type_to_unmanaged
    guint32
mono_type_to_unmanaged (MonoType *type, MonoMarshalSpec *mspec, gboolean as_field,
			gboolean unicode, MonoMarshalConv *conv) 
Returns
	  A MonoMarshalNative enumeration value (MONO_NATIVE_) value
	 describing the underlying native reprensetation of the type.
	
	 In addition the value pointed by
	 "conv" will contain the kind of marshalling required for this
	 particular type one of the MONO_MARSHAL_CONV_ enumeration values.
