+/**
+ * SECTION: string_chunks
+ * @title: String Chunks
+ * @short_description: efficient storage of groups of strings
+ *
+ * String chunks are used to store groups of strings. Memory is
+ * allocated in blocks, and as strings are added to the #GStringChunk
+ * they are copied into the next free position in a block. When a block
+ * is full a new block is allocated.
+ *
+ * When storing a large number of strings, string chunks are more
+ * efficient than using g_strdup() since fewer calls to malloc() are
+ * needed, and less memory is wasted in memory allocation overheads.
+ *
+ * By adding strings with g_string_chunk_insert_const() it is also
+ * possible to remove duplicates.
+ *
+ * To create a new #GStringChunk use g_string_chunk_new().
+ *
+ * To add strings to a #GStringChunk use g_string_chunk_insert().
+ *
+ * To add strings to a #GStringChunk, but without duplicating strings
+ * which are already in the #GStringChunk, use
+ * g_string_chunk_insert_const().
+ *
+ * To free the entire #GStringChunk use g_string_chunk_free(). It is
+ * not possible to free individual strings.

+/**
+ * GStringChunk:
+ *
+ * An opaque data structure representing String Chunks. It should only
+ * be accessed by using the following functions.
