#### Description

    struct GStrvBuilder {
      /* No available fields */
    }

`GStrvBuilder` is a helper object to build a `NULL`-terminated string arrays.

The following example shows how to build a two element array:

      g_autoptr(GStrvBuilder) builder = g_strv_builder_new ();
      g_strv_builder_add (builder, "hello");
      g_strv_builder_add (builder, "world");
      g_auto(GStrv) array = g_strv_builder_end (builder);

Available since: 2.68

#### Constructors

###### g_strv_builder_new

Creates a new `GStrvBuilder` with a reference count of 1. Use `g_strv_builder_unref()` on the returned value when no longer needed.
