This has nothing to do with the fact that it isn't a gobject. The
returned object is a pointer so you need to make sure whether it needs
to be freed or not. And for accessing a field from a pointer you use ->
instead of . so your code would use results->type etc.

Of course, if you are sure it doesn't need to be freed then it's better
to assign it to an unowned reference. (and if it should, then assign it
to an owned reference).
