#### Description

    final class Gio.Menu : Gio.MenuModel
    {
      /* No available fields */
    }

`GMenu` is a simple implementation of `GMenuModel`. You populate a `GMenu` by adding `GMenuItem` instances to it.

There are some convenience functions to allow you to directly add items (avoiding `GMenuItem`) for the common cases. To add a regular item, use `g_menu_insert()`. To add a section, use `g_menu_insert_section()`. To add a submenu, use `g_menu_insert_submenu()`.
