bool Gio::InputStream::close | ( | ) |
Closes the stream, releasing resources related to it.
Once the stream is closed, all other operations will throw a Gio::Error with CLOSED. Closing a stream multiple times will not return an error.
Streams will be automatically closed when the last reference is dropped, but you might want to call this make sure resources are released as early as possible.
Some streams might keep the backing store of the stream (e.g. a file descriptor) open after the stream is closed. See the documentation for the individual stream for details.
On failure the first error that happened will be reported, but the close operation will finish as much as possible. A stream that failed to close will still throw a Gio::Error with CLOSED for all operations. Still, it is important to check and report the error to the user.

The operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, a Gio::Error will be thrown with CANCELLED. Cancelling a close will still leave the stream closed, but some streams can use a faster close that doesn't block to e.g. check errors.

When the operation is finished slot will be called. You can then call close_finish() to get the result of the operation.

The asyncronous methods have a default fallback that uses threads to implement asynchronicity, so they are optional for inheriting classes. However, if you override one you must override all.

gssize Gio::InputStream::read | ( | void * | buffer, | |
gsize | count | |||
) |
Tries to read count bytes from the stream into the buffer starting at buffer.
Will block during this read.
If count is zero returns zero and does nothing. A value of count larger than MAXSSIZE will cause a Gio::Error with INVALID_ARGUMENT to be thrown.
On success, the number of bytes read into the buffer is returned. It is not an error if this is not the same as the requested size, as it can happen e.g. near the end of a file. Zero is returned on end of file (or if count is zero), but never otherwise.
On error -1 is returned.

count | The number of bytes that will be read from the stream. |
gssize Gio::InputStream::read | ( | void * | buffer, | |
gsize | count, | |||
const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable | |||
) |

The operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, a Gio::Error will be thrown with CANCELLED. If an operation was partially finished when the operation was cancelled the partial result will be returned, without an error.

bool Gio::InputStream::read_all | ( | void * | buffer, | |
gsize | count, | |||
gsize & | bytes_read | |||
) |
Tries to read count bytes from the stream into the buffer starting at buffer.
Will block during this read.
This function is similar to read(), except it tries to read as many bytes as requested, only stopping on an error or end of stream.
On a successful read of count bytes, or if we reached the end of the stream, true
is returned, and bytes_read is set to the number of bytes read into buffer .
If there is an error during the operation false
is returned and a Gio::Error is thrown to indicate the error status, bytes_read is updated to contain the number of bytes read into buffer before the error occured.

gsize | count, | |||
const SlotAsyncReady & | slot, | |||
int | io_priority = Glib::PRIORITY_DEFAULT | |||
) |
Request an asynchronous read of count bytes from the stream into the buffer starting at buffer.
When the operation is finished slot will be called. You can then call read_finish() to get the result of the operation.
During an async request no other sync and async calls are allowed, and will result in a Gio::Error with PENDING being thrown.
A value of count larger than MAXSSIZE will cause a Gio::Error with INVALID_ARGUMENT to be thrown.
On success, the number of bytes read into the buffer will be passed to the slot callback. It is not an error if this is not the same as the requested size, as it can happen e.g. near the end of a file, but generally we try to read as many bytes as requested. Zero is returned on end of file (or if count is zero), but never otherwise.
Any outstanding i/o request with higher priority (lower numerical value) will be executed before an outstanding request with lower priority. Default priority is PRIORITY_DEFAULT.

gssize Gio::InputStream::skip | ( | gsize | count | ) |
Tries to skip count bytes from the stream.

This is identical to read(), from a behaviour standpoint, but the bytes that are skipped are not returned to the user. Some streams have an implementation that is more efficient than reading the data.
This function is optional for inherited classes, as the default implementation emulates it using read.
