I was looking at the api and came to a section

that explains GTypeValueTable structure. It talks about
collect_format member and says "Each character in
the format represents an argument to be collected"
what is this argument? Does it mean an argument
to a function? if yes of what function?

Yes, an argument to the collect_value() function of the GTypeValueTable.  Documented in the "Varargs Value Collection" page[1]; you almost certainly don't need to implement it.

Indeed, you almost certainly don't need to implement your own fundamental GValue types; what exactly are you trying to do here?
