OutputStream

#GOutputStream has functions to write to a stream (g_output_stream_write()), to close a stream (g_output_stream_close()) and to flush pending writes (g_output_stream_flush()).

To copy the content of an input stream to an output stream without manually handling the reads and writes, use g_output_stream_splice().

See the documentation for #GIOStream for details of thread safety of streaming APIs.

All of these functions have async variants too.

class OutputStream : ObjectG {}

Functions

clearPending
void clearPending()

Clears the pending flag on @stream.

close
bool close(Cancellable cancellable)

Closes the stream, releasing resources related to it.

closeAsync
void closeAsync(int ioPriority, Cancellable cancellable, GAsyncReadyCallback callback, void* userData)

Requests an asynchronous close of the stream, releasing resources related to it. When the operation is finished @callback will be called. You can then call g_output_stream_close_finish() to get the result of the operation.

closeFinish
bool closeFinish(AsyncResultIF result)

Closes an output stream.

flush
bool flush(Cancellable cancellable)

Forces a write of all user-space buffered data for the given @stream. Will block during the operation. Closing the stream will implicitly cause a flush.

flushAsync
void flushAsync(int ioPriority, Cancellable cancellable, GAsyncReadyCallback callback, void* userData)

Forces an asynchronous write of all user-space buffered data for the given @stream. For behaviour details see g_output_stream_flush().

flushFinish
bool flushFinish(AsyncResultIF result)

Finishes flushing an output stream.

getOutputStreamStruct
GOutputStream* getOutputStreamStruct(bool transferOwnership)

Get the main Gtk struct

getStruct
void* getStruct()

the main Gtk struct as a void*

hasPending
bool hasPending()

Checks if an output stream has pending actions.

isClosed
bool isClosed()

Checks if an output stream has already been closed.

isClosing
bool isClosing()

Checks if an output stream is being closed. This can be used inside e.g. a flush implementation to see if the flush (or other i/o operation) is called from within the closing operation.

setPending
bool setPending()

Sets @stream to have actions pending. If the pending flag is already set or @stream is closed, it will return %FALSE and set @error.

splice
ptrdiff_t splice(InputStream source, GOutputStreamSpliceFlags flags, Cancellable cancellable)

Splices an input stream into an output stream.

spliceAsync
void spliceAsync(InputStream source, GOutputStreamSpliceFlags flags, int ioPriority, Cancellable cancellable, GAsyncReadyCallback callback, void* userData)

Splices a stream asynchronously. When the operation is finished @callback will be called. You can then call g_output_stream_splice_finish() to get the result of the operation.

spliceFinish
ptrdiff_t spliceFinish(AsyncResultIF result)

Finishes an asynchronous stream splice operation.

vprintf
bool vprintf(size_t bytesWritten, Cancellable cancellable, ErrorG error, string format, void* args)

This is a utility function around g_output_stream_write_all(). It uses g_strdup_vprintf() to turn @format and @args into a string that is then written to @stream.

write
ptrdiff_t write(ubyte[] buffer, Cancellable cancellable)

Tries to write @count bytes from @buffer into the stream. Will block during the operation.

writeAll
bool writeAll(ubyte[] buffer, size_t bytesWritten, Cancellable cancellable)

Tries to write @count bytes from @buffer into the stream. Will block during the operation.

writeAllAsync
void writeAllAsync(ubyte[] buffer, int ioPriority, Cancellable cancellable, GAsyncReadyCallback callback, void* userData)

Request an asynchronous write of @count bytes from @buffer into the stream. When the operation is finished @callback will be called. You can then call g_output_stream_write_all_finish() to get the result of the operation.

writeAllFinish
bool writeAllFinish(AsyncResultIF result, size_t bytesWritten)

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

writeAsync
void writeAsync(ubyte[] buffer, int ioPriority, Cancellable cancellable, GAsyncReadyCallback callback, void* userData)

Request an asynchronous write of @count bytes from @buffer into the stream. When the operation is finished @callback will be called. You can then call g_output_stream_write_finish() to get the result of the operation.

writeBytes
ptrdiff_t writeBytes(Bytes bytes, Cancellable cancellable)

A wrapper function for g_output_stream_write() which takes a #GBytes as input. This can be more convenient for use by language bindings or in other cases where the refcounted nature of #GBytes is helpful over a bare pointer interface.

writeBytesAsync
void writeBytesAsync(Bytes bytes, int ioPriority, Cancellable cancellable, GAsyncReadyCallback callback, void* userData)

This function is similar to g_output_stream_write_async(), but takes a #GBytes as input. Due to the refcounted nature of #GBytes, this allows the stream to avoid taking a copy of the data.

writeBytesFinish
ptrdiff_t writeBytesFinish(AsyncResultIF result)

Finishes a stream write-from-#GBytes operation.

writeFinish
ptrdiff_t writeFinish(AsyncResultIF result)

Finishes a stream write operation.

addOnNotify
gulong addOnNotify(void delegate(ParamSpec, ObjectG) dlg, string property, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The notify signal is emitted on an object when one of its properties has been changed. Note that getting this signal doesn't guarantee that the value of the property has actually changed, it may also be emitted when the setter for the property is called to reinstate the previous value.

getType
GType getType()
compatControl
size_t compatControl(size_t what, void* data)
interfaceFindProperty
ParamSpec interfaceFindProperty(TypeInterface gIface, string propertyName)

Find the #GParamSpec with the given name for an interface. Generally, the interface vtable passed in as @g_iface will be the default vtable from g_type_default_interface_ref(), or, if you know the interface has already been loaded, g_type_default_interface_peek().

interfaceInstallProperty
void interfaceInstallProperty(TypeInterface gIface, ParamSpec pspec)

Add a property to an interface; this is only useful for interfaces that are added to GObject-derived types. Adding a property to an interface forces all objects classes with that interface to have a compatible property. The compatible property could be a newly created #GParamSpec, but normally g_object_class_override_property() will be used so that the object class only needs to provide an implementation and inherits the property description, default value, bounds, and so forth from the interface property.

interfaceListProperties
ParamSpec[] interfaceListProperties(TypeInterface gIface)

Lists the properties of an interface.Generally, the interface vtable passed in as @g_iface will be the default vtable from g_type_default_interface_ref(), or, if you know the interface has already been loaded, g_type_default_interface_peek().

addToggleRef
void addToggleRef(GToggleNotify notify, void* data)

Increases the reference count of the object by one and sets a callback to be called when all other references to the object are dropped, or when this is already the last reference to the object and another reference is established.

addWeakPointer
void addWeakPointer(void* weakPointerLocation)

Adds a weak reference from weak_pointer to @object to indicate that the pointer located at @weak_pointer_location is only valid during the lifetime of @object. When the @object is finalized, @weak_pointer will be set to %NULL.

bindProperty
Binding bindProperty(string sourceProperty, ObjectG target, string targetProperty, GBindingFlags flags)

Creates a binding between @source_property on @source and @target_property on @target. Whenever the @source_property is changed the @target_property is updated using the same value. For instance:

bindPropertyFull
Binding bindPropertyFull(string sourceProperty, ObjectG target, string targetProperty, GBindingFlags flags, GBindingTransformFunc transformTo, GBindingTransformFunc transformFrom, void* userData, GDestroyNotify notify)

Complete version of g_object_bind_property().

bindPropertyWithClosures
Binding bindPropertyWithClosures(string sourceProperty, ObjectG target, string targetProperty, GBindingFlags flags, Closure transformTo, Closure transformFrom)

Creates a binding between @source_property on @source and @target_property on @target, allowing you to set the transformation functions to be used by the binding.

dupData
void* dupData(string key, GDuplicateFunc dupFunc, void* userData)

This is a variant of g_object_get_data() which returns a 'duplicate' of the value. @dup_func defines the meaning of 'duplicate' in this context, it could e.g. take a reference on a ref-counted object.

dupQdata
void* dupQdata(GQuark quark, GDuplicateFunc dupFunc, void* userData)

This is a variant of g_object_get_qdata() which returns a 'duplicate' of the value. @dup_func defines the meaning of 'duplicate' in this context, it could e.g. take a reference on a ref-counted object.

forceFloating
void forceFloating()

This function is intended for #GObject implementations to re-enforce a floating[floating-ref] object reference. Doing this is seldom required: all #GInitiallyUnowneds are created with a floating reference which usually just needs to be sunken by calling g_object_ref_sink().

freezeNotify
void freezeNotify()

Increases the freeze count on @object. If the freeze count is non-zero, the emission of "notify" signals on @object is stopped. The signals are queued until the freeze count is decreased to zero. Duplicate notifications are squashed so that at most one #GObject::notify signal is emitted for each property modified while the object is frozen.

getData
void* getData(string key)

Gets a named field from the objects table of associations (see g_object_set_data()).

getProperty
void getProperty(string propertyName, Value value)

Gets a property of an object. @value must have been initialized to the expected type of the property (or a type to which the expected type can be transformed) using g_value_init().

getQdata
void* getQdata(GQuark quark)

This function gets back user data pointers stored via g_object_set_qdata().

getValist
void getValist(string firstPropertyName, void* varArgs)

Gets properties of an object.

getv
void getv(string[] names, Value[] values)

Gets @n_properties properties for an @object. Obtained properties will be set to @values. All properties must be valid. Warnings will be emitted and undefined behaviour may result if invalid properties are passed in.

isFloating
bool isFloating()

Checks whether @object has a floating[floating-ref] reference.

notify
void notify(string propertyName)

Emits a "notify" signal for the property @property_name on @object.

notifyByPspec
void notifyByPspec(ParamSpec pspec)

Emits a "notify" signal for the property specified by @pspec on @object.

doref
ObjectG doref()

Increases the reference count of @object.

refSink
ObjectG refSink()

Increase the reference count of @object, and possibly remove the floating[floating-ref] reference, if @object has a floating reference.

removeToggleRef
void removeToggleRef(GToggleNotify notify, void* data)

Removes a reference added with g_object_add_toggle_ref(). The reference count of the object is decreased by one.

removeWeakPointer
void removeWeakPointer(void* weakPointerLocation)

Removes a weak reference from @object that was previously added using g_object_add_weak_pointer(). The @weak_pointer_location has to match the one used with g_object_add_weak_pointer().

replaceData
bool replaceData(string key, void* oldval, void* newval, GDestroyNotify destroy, GDestroyNotify oldDestroy)

Compares the user data for the key @key on @object with @oldval, and if they are the same, replaces @oldval with @newval.

replaceQdata
bool replaceQdata(GQuark quark, void* oldval, void* newval, GDestroyNotify destroy, GDestroyNotify oldDestroy)

Compares the user data for the key @quark on @object with @oldval, and if they are the same, replaces @oldval with @newval.

runDispose
void runDispose()

Releases all references to other objects. This can be used to break reference cycles.

setData
void setData(string key, void* data)

Each object carries around a table of associations from strings to pointers. This function lets you set an association.

setDataFull
void setDataFull(string key, void* data, GDestroyNotify destroy)

Like g_object_set_data() except it adds notification for when the association is destroyed, either by setting it to a different value or when the object is destroyed.

setProperty
void setProperty(string propertyName, Value value)

Sets a property on an object.

setQdata
void setQdata(GQuark quark, void* data)

This sets an opaque, named pointer on an object. The name is specified through a #GQuark (retrived e.g. via g_quark_from_static_string()), and the pointer can be gotten back from the @object with g_object_get_qdata() until the @object is finalized. Setting a previously set user data pointer, overrides (frees) the old pointer set, using #NULL as pointer essentially removes the data stored.

setQdataFull
void setQdataFull(GQuark quark, void* data, GDestroyNotify destroy)

This function works like g_object_set_qdata(), but in addition, a void (*destroy) (gpointer) function may be specified which is called with @data as argument when the @object is finalized, or the data is being overwritten by a call to g_object_set_qdata() with the same @quark.

setValist
void setValist(string firstPropertyName, void* varArgs)

Sets properties on an object.

setv
void setv(string[] names, Value[] values)

Sets @n_properties properties for an @object. Properties to be set will be taken from @values. All properties must be valid. Warnings will be emitted and undefined behaviour may result if invalid properties are passed in.

stealData
void* stealData(string key)

Remove a specified datum from the object's data associations, without invoking the association's destroy handler.

stealQdata
void* stealQdata(GQuark quark)

This function gets back user data pointers stored via g_object_set_qdata() and removes the @data from object without invoking its destroy() function (if any was set). Usually, calling this function is only required to update user data pointers with a destroy notifier, for example: |[<!-- language="C" --> void object_add_to_user_list (GObject *object, const gchar *new_string) { // the quark, naming the object data GQuark quark_string_list = g_quark_from_static_string ("my-string-list"); // retrive the old string list GList *list = g_object_steal_qdata (object, quark_string_list);

thawNotify
void thawNotify()

Reverts the effect of a previous call to g_object_freeze_notify(). The freeze count is decreased on @object and when it reaches zero, queued "notify" signals are emitted.

unref
void unref()

Decreases the reference count of @object. When its reference count drops to 0, the object is finalized (i.e. its memory is freed).

watchClosure
void watchClosure(Closure closure)

This function essentially limits the life time of the @closure to the life time of the object. That is, when the object is finalized, the @closure is invalidated by calling g_closure_invalidate() on it, in order to prevent invocations of the closure with a finalized (nonexisting) object. Also, g_object_ref() and g_object_unref() are added as marshal guards to the @closure, to ensure that an extra reference count is held on @object during invocation of the @closure. Usually, this function will be called on closures that use this @object as closure data.

weakRef
void weakRef(GWeakNotify notify, void* data)

Adds a weak reference callback to an object. Weak references are used for notification when an object is finalized. They are called "weak references" because they allow you to safely hold a pointer to an object without calling g_object_ref() (g_object_ref() adds a strong reference, that is, forces the object to stay alive).

weakUnref
void weakUnref(GWeakNotify notify, void* data)

Removes a weak reference callback to an object.

clearObject
void clearObject(ObjectG objectPtr)

Clears a reference to a #GObject.
