    gi_object_info_find_vfunc (
      GIObjectInfo* info,

#### Description

Locate a virtual function slot with name `name`.

Note that the namespace for virtuals is distinct from that of methods; there may or may not be a concrete method associated for a virtual. If there is one, it may be retrieved using `gi_vfunc_info_get_invoker()`, otherwise that method will return `NULL`.

See the documentation for `gi_vfunc_info_get_invoker()` for more information on invoking virtuals.

#### Return value

Type: `GIVFuncInfo`

The `GIVFuncInfo`, or `NULL` if none is found. Free it with `gi_base_info_unref()` when done.

The caller of the method takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
The return value can be `NULL`.
