      const GtkTextIter* end
    )

#### Description [src]

  Iterator at end of range.

  The data is owned by the caller of the method.

#### Return value

Type: `char*`

String containing visible text in the range.

The caller of the method takes ownership of the returned data, and is responsible for freeing it.
The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
