Glib::RefPtr< Gio::IOStreamwrap (GIOStream* object, bool take_copy=false)
 A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Detailed Description

Since glibmm 2.22:

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Gio::IOStream::~IOStream (  )  [virtual]

Member Function Documentation

void Gio::IOStream::clear_pending (  ) 

Clears the pending flag on stream.

Since glibmm 2.22:
bool Gio::IOStream::close (  ) 
bool Gio::IOStream::close ( const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >&  cancellable  ) 

Closes the stream, releasing resources related to it.

This will also closes the individual input and output streams, if they are not already closed.

Once the stream is closed, all other operations will return IO_ERROR_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 this function to 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 return IO_ERROR_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.

If cancellable is not 0, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned. 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.

The default implementation of this method just calls close on the individual input/output streams.

Since glibmm 2.22:
Parameters:
cancellable Optional Cancellable object, 0 to ignore.
Returns:
true on success, false on failure.
void Gio::IOStream::close_async ( const SlotAsyncReady slot,
int  io_priority = Glib::PRIORITY_DEFAULT 
)
void Gio::IOStream::close_async ( const SlotAsyncReady slot,
const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >&  cancellable,
int  io_priority = Glib::PRIORITY_DEFAULT 
)
bool Gio::IOStream::close_finish ( const Glib::RefPtr< AsyncResult >&  result  ) 

Closes a stream.

Since glibmm 2.22:
Parameters:
result A AsyncResult.
Returns:
true if stream was successfully closed, false otherwise.
Glib::RefPtr<InputStream> Gio::IOStream::get_input_stream (  ) 

Gets the input stream for this object.

This is used for reading.

Since glibmm 2.22:
Returns:
A InputStream, owned by the IOStream. Do not free.
Glib::RefPtr<OutputStream> Gio::IOStream::get_output_stream (  ) 

Gets the output stream for this object.

This is used for writing.

Since glibmm 2.22:
Returns:
A OutputStream, owned by the IOStream. Do not free.
const GIOStream* Gio::IOStream::gobj (  )  const [inline]

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

Reimplemented from Glib::ObjectBase.

Reimplemented in Gio::FileIOStream, Gio::SocketConnection, Gio::TcpConnection, and Gio::UnixConnection.

GIOStream* Gio::IOStream::gobj (  )  [inline]

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

Reimplemented from Glib::ObjectBase.

Reimplemented in Gio::FileIOStream, Gio::SocketConnection, Gio::TcpConnection, and Gio::UnixConnection.

GIOStream* Gio::IOStream::gobj_copy (  ) 

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

Reimplemented in Gio::FileIOStream, Gio::SocketConnection, Gio::TcpConnection, and Gio::UnixConnection.

bool Gio::IOStream::has_pending (  )  const

Checks if a stream has pending actions.

Since glibmm 2.22:
Returns:
true if stream has pending actions.
bool Gio::IOStream::is_closed (  )  const

Checks if a stream is closed.

Since glibmm 2.22:
Returns:
true if the stream is closed.
bool Gio::IOStream::set_pending (  ) 

Sets stream to have actions pending.

If the pending flag is already set or stream is closed, it will return false and set error.

Since glibmm 2.22:
Returns:
true if pending was previously unset and is now set.
