<p><a class="link" href="gdk-pixbuf-The-GdkPixbuf-Structure.html#GdkPixbuf"><span class="type">GdkPixbuf</span></a> structures are reference counted. This means that an
application can share a single pixbuf among many parts of the
code. When a piece of the program needs to keep a pointer to a
pixbuf, it should add a reference to it by calling <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gobject/gobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#g-object-ref"><code class="function">g_object_ref()</code></a>.
When it no longer needs the pixbuf, it should subtract a reference
by calling <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gobject/gobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#g-object-unref"><code class="function">g_object_unref()</code></a>. The pixbuf will be destroyed when
its reference count drops to zero. Newly-created <a class="link" href="gdk-pixbuf-The-GdkPixbuf-Structure.html#GdkPixbuf"><span class="type">GdkPixbuf</span></a>
structures start with a reference count of one.</p>
<div class="blockquote"><blockquote class="blockquote"><p>As <a class="link" href="gdk-pixbuf-The-GdkPixbuf-Structure.html#GdkPixbuf"><span class="type">GdkPixbuf</span></a> is derived from <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gobject/gobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#GObject-struct"><span class="type">GObject</span></a> now, <a class="link" href="gdk-pixbuf-Reference-Counting-and-Memory-Mangement.html#gdk-pixbuf-ref" title="gdk_pixbuf_ref ()"><code class="function">gdk_pixbuf_ref()</code></a> and

<p>Finalizing a pixbuf means to free its pixel data and to free the
<a class="link" href="gdk-pixbuf-The-GdkPixbuf-Structure.html#GdkPixbuf"><span class="type">GdkPixbuf</span></a> structure itself. Most of the library functions that
create <a class="link" href="gdk-pixbuf-The-GdkPixbuf-Structure.html#GdkPixbuf"><span class="type">GdkPixbuf</span></a> structures create the pixel data by themselves
and define the way it should be freed; you do not need to worry
about those.</p>
<p>To provide preallocated pixel data, use
<a class="link" href="gdk-pixbuf-Image-Data-in-Memory.html#gdk-pixbuf-new-from-bytes" title="gdk_pixbuf_new_from_bytes ()"><code class="function">gdk_pixbuf_new_from_bytes()</code></a>.

an older variant that predates the existence of <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/glib/glib-Byte-Arrays.html#GBytes"><span class="type">GBytes</span></a>.</p>
