+ * @parent: the parent object
+ * @id: The unique ID of the object
+ * @errp: pointer to error object
+ * @...: list of property names and values
+ *
+ * This function will initialize a new object using heap allocated memory.
+ * The returned object has a reference count of 1, and will be freed when
+ * the last reference is dropped.
+ *
+ * The @id parameter will be used when registering the object as a
+ * child of @parent in the composition tree.
+ *
+ * The variadic parameters are a list of pairs of (propname, propvalue)
+ * strings. The propname of %NULL indicates the end of the property
+ * list. If the object implements the user creatable interface, the
+ * object will be marked complete once all the properties have been
+ * processed.
