Glib::RefPtr< Gio::OutputStream > | wrap (GOutputStream* object, bool take_copy=false) |
A Glib::wrap() method for this object. |
Base class for implementing streaming output.
virtual Gio::OutputStream::~OutputStream | ( | ) | [virtual] |
bool Gio::OutputStream::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.
Closing a stream will automatically flush any outstanding buffers in the stream.
Streams will be automatically closed when the last reference is dropped, but you might want to call 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, otherwise there might be a loss of data as all data might not be written.
The operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, a Gio::Error with CANCELLED will be thrown. Cancelling a close will still leave the stream closed, but there some streams can use a faster close that doesn't block to e.g. check errors. On cancellation (as with any error) there is no guarantee that all written data will reach the target.

gssize Gio::OutputStream::write | ( | const std::string & | buffer | ) |
Tries to write count bytes from buffer into the stream.
Will block during the operation.
If string that is larger than MAXSSIZE bytes will cause a Gio::Error with INVALID_ARGUMENT to be thrown.
On success, the number of bytes written to the stream is returned. It is not an error if this is not the same as the requested size, as it can happen e.g. on a partial i/o error, or if the there is not enough storage in the stream. All writes either block until at least one byte is written, so zero is never returned (unless count is zero).
On error -1 is returned.

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.

This function is similar to write(), except it tries to write as many bytes as requested, only stopping on an error.
On a successful write of count bytes, true
is returned, and bytes_written is set to count .
If there is an error during the operation false
is returned and error is set to indicate the error status, bytes_written is updated to contain the number of bytes written into the stream before the error occured.

int | io_priority = Glib::PRIORITY_DEFAULT | |||
) |
Request an asynchronous write of count bytes from buffer into the stream.
When the operation is finished slot will be called. You can then call write_finish() to get the result of the operation.
During an async request no other sync and async calls are allowed, and will result in 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 written will be passed to the callback slot. It is not an error if this is not the same as the requested size, as it can happen e.g. on a partial I/O error, but generally we try to write as many bytes as requested.
Any outstanding I/O request with higher priority (lower numerical value) will be executed before an outstanding request with lower priority. Default priority is Glib::PRIORITY_DEFAULT.
