Member Function Documentation

◆ clear_pending()

void Gio::OutputStream::clear_pending ( )
protected

Clears the pending flag on stream.

Since glibmm 2.50:

◆ close() [1/2]

bool Gio::OutputStream::close ( )

A close() convenience overload.

◆ close() [2/2]

bool Gio::OutputStream::close ( const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable > &  cancellable)

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 cause an error to be thrown.

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 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 will be thrown with CANCELLED. 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.

Parameters
cancellableCancellable object.
Returns
true on success, false on failure.
Exceptions
Glib::Error

◆ close_async() [1/2]

void Gio::OutputStream::close_async ( const SlotAsyncReady &  slot,
const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable > &  cancellable,
int  io_priority = Glib::PRIORITY_DEFAULT 
)

Requests an asynchronous close of the stream, releasing resources related to it.

When the operation is finished the slot will be called, giving the results. You can then call close_finish() to get the result of the operation. For behaviour details see close().

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.

Parameters
slotCallback slot to call when the request is satisfied.
cancellableCancellable object.
io_priorityThe io priority of the request.

◆ close_async() [2/2]

void Gio::OutputStream::close_async ( const SlotAsyncReady &  slot,
int  io_priority = Glib::PRIORITY_DEFAULT 
)

Requests an asynchronous close of the stream, releasing resources related to it.

When the operation is finished the slot will be called, giving the results. You can then call close_finish() to get the result of the operation. For behaviour details see close().

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.

Parameters
slotCallback slot to call when the request is satisfied.
io_priorityThe io priority of the request.

◆ close_finish()

bool Gio::OutputStream::close_finish ( const Glib::RefPtr< AsyncResult > &  result)

Closes an output stream.

Parameters
resultA AsyncResult.
Returns
true if stream was successfully closed, false otherwise.

A flush() convenience overload.

◆ flush() [2/2]

bool Gio::OutputStream::flush ( const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable > &  cancellable)

Flushed any outstanding buffers in the stream.

Will block during the operation. Closing the stream will implicitly cause a flush.

This function is optional for inherited classes.

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.

Parameters
cancellableCancellable object.
Returns
true on success, false on error.
Exceptions
Glib::Error

◆ flush_async() [1/2]

void Gio::OutputStream::flush_async ( const SlotAsyncReady &  slot,
const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable > &  cancellable,

◆ write() [1/4]

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.

Parameters
bufferThe buffer containing the data to write.
Returns
Number of bytes written, or -1 on error.

◆ write() [2/4]

gssize Gio::OutputStream::write ( const std::string buffer,
const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable > &  cancellable 
)

Tries to write count bytes from buffer into the stream.

Will block during the operation.

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 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.

Parameters
bufferThe buffer containing the data to write.
cancellableCancellable object.
Returns
Number of bytes written, or -1 on error.

◆ write() [3/4]

gssize Gio::OutputStream::write ( const void *  buffer,
gsize  count 
)

A write() convenience overload.

◆ write() [4/4]

gssize Gio::OutputStream::write ( const void *  buffer,
gsize  count,
const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable > &  cancellable 
)

Tries to write count bytes from buffer into the stream.

Will block during the operation.

If count is zero returns zero and does nothing. A value of count larger than G_MAXSSIZE 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 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).

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.

Parameters
bufferThe buffer containing the data to write.
countThe number of bytes to write.
cancellableCancellable object.
Returns
Number of bytes written, or -1 on error.
Exceptions
Glib::Error

◆ write_all() [1/4]

bool Gio::OutputStream::write_all ( const std::string buffer,
gsize &  bytes_written 
)

Tries to write count bytes from buffer into the stream.

Will block during the operation.

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.

Parameters
bufferThe buffer containing the data to write.
bytes_writtenLocation to store the number of bytes that was written to the stream.
Returns
true on success, false if there was an error.

◆ write_all() [2/4]

bool Gio::OutputStream::write_all ( const std::string buffer,
gsize &  bytes_written,
const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable > &  cancellable 
)

Tries to write count bytes from buffer into the stream.

Will block during the operation.

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.

Parameters
bufferThe buffer containing the data to write.
bytes_writtenLocation to store the number of bytes that was written to the stream.
cancellableCancellable object.
Returns
true on success, false if there was an error.

◆ write_all() [3/4]

bool Gio::OutputStream::write_all ( const void *  buffer,
gsize  count,
gsize &  bytes_written 
)

A write_all() convenience overload.

◆ write_all() [4/4]

bool Gio::OutputStream::write_all ( const void *  buffer,
gsize  count,
gsize &  bytes_written,
const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable > &  cancellable 
)

Tries to write count bytes from buffer into the stream.

Will block during the operation.

This function is similar to g_output_stream_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.

As a special exception to the normal conventions for functions that use Error, if this function returns false (and sets error) then bytes_written will be set to the number of bytes that were successfully written before the error was encountered. This functionality is only available from C. If you need it from another language then you must write your own loop around g_output_stream_write().

Parameters
bufferThe buffer containing the data to write.
countThe number of bytes to write.
bytes_writtenLocation to store the number of bytes that was written to the stream.
cancellableOptional Cancellable object, nullptr to ignore.
Returns
true on success, false if there was an error.
Exceptions
Glib::Error

◆ write_all_async() [1/2]

void Gio::OutputStream::write_all_async ( const void *  buffer,
gsize  count,
const SlotAsyncReady &  slot,
const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable > &  cancellable,
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_all_finish() to get the result of the operation.

This is the asynchronous version of write_all().

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.

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.

For the synchronous, blocking version of this function, see write().

Note that no copy of buffer will be made, so it must stay valid until slot is called.

Parameters
bufferThe buffer containing the data to write.
countThe number of bytes to write
slotCallback slot to call when the request is satisfied.
cancellableCancellable object.
io_priorityThe io priority of the request.

◆ write_all_async() [2/2]

void Gio::OutputStream::write_all_async ( const void *  buffer,
gsize  count,
const SlotAsyncReady &  slot,
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.

This is the asynchronous version of write_all().

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.

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.

For the synchronous, blocking version of this function, see write().

Note that no copy of buffer will be made, so it must stay valid until slot is called.

Parameters
bufferThe buffer containing the data to write.
countThe number of bytes to write
slotCallback slot to call when the request is satisfied.
io_priorityThe io priority of the request.

◆ write_all_finish()

bool Gio::OutputStream::write_all_finish ( const Glib::RefPtr< AsyncResult > &  result,
gsize &  bytes_written 
)

Finishes an asynchronous stream write operation started with g_output_stream_write_all_async().

As a special exception to the normal conventions for functions that use Error, if this function returns false (and sets error) then bytes_written will be set to the number of bytes that were successfully written before the error was encountered. This functionality is only available from C. If you need it from another language then you must write your own loop around g_output_stream_write_async().

Since glibmm 2.44:
Parameters
resultA AsyncResult.
bytes_writtenLocation to store the number of bytes that was written to the stream.
Returns
true on success, false if there was an error.
Exceptions
Glib::Error

Parameters
bufferThe buffer containing the data to write.
countThe number of bytes to write
slotCallback slot to call when the request is satisfied.
cancellableCancellable object.
io_priorityThe io priority of the request.

◆ write_bytes() [1/2]

gssize Gio::OutputStream::write_bytes ( const Glib::RefPtr< const Glib::Bytes > &  bytes)

A write_bytes() convenience overload.

◆ write_bytes() [2/2]

gssize Gio::OutputStream::write_bytes ( const Glib::RefPtr< const Glib::Bytes > &  bytes,
const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable > &  cancellable 
)

A wrapper function for g_output_stream_write() which takes a Bytes as input.

This can be more convenient for use by language bindings or in other cases where the refcounted nature of Bytes is helpful over a bare pointer interface.

However, note that this function may still perform partial writes, just like g_output_stream_write(). If that occurs, to continue writing, you will need to create a new Bytes containing just the remaining bytes, using Glib::bytes_new_from_bytes(). Passing the same Bytes instance multiple times potentially can result in duplicated data in the output stream.

Parameters
bytesThe Bytes to write.
cancellableOptional cancellable object.
Returns
Number of bytes written, or -1 on error.
Exceptions
Glib::Error

◆ write_bytes_async() [1/2]

void Gio::OutputStream::write_bytes_async ( const Glib::RefPtr< const Glib::Bytes > &  bytes,
const SlotAsyncReady &  slot,
const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable > &  cancellable,
int  io_priority = Glib::PRIORITY_DEFAULT 
)

Request an asynchronous write of the data in bytes to the stream.

When the operation is finished slot will be called. You can then call write_bytes_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 Glib:Bytes 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.

You are guaranteed that this method will never fail with IO_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK - if the stream can't accept more data, the method will just wait until this changes.

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.

For the synchronous, blocking version of this function, see write_bytes().

Parameters
bytesThe bytes to
slotCallback slot to call when the request is satisfied.
cancellableCancellable object.
io_priorityThe io priority of the request.
