## Detailed Description

## Function Documentation

const char* eina_value_type_name_get | ( | const Eina_Value_Type * | type | ) |

Query type name.

Parameters

  type | type reference.

Returns
  string or `NULL` if type is invalid.

Since
  1.2

References eina_value_type_check(), and _Eina_Value_Type::name.

Eina_Bool eina_value_type_check | ( | const Eina_Value_Type * | type | ) |

Check if type is valid.

Parameters

  type | type reference.

Returns
  EINA_TRUE if valid, EINA_FALSE otherwise.

A type is invalid if it's NULL or if version field is not the same as runtime EINA_VALUE_TYPE_VERSION.
