## Detailed Description

FileIOStream provides input streams that take their content from a file.

FileInputStream implements Seekable, which allows the input stream to jump to arbitrary positions in the file, provided the file system of the file allows it. Use the methods of the Seekable base class for seeking and positioning.

Since glibmm 2.22:

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual

## Member Function Documentation

std::string Gio::FileIOStream::get_etag | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the entity tag for the file when it has been written.

This must be called after the stream has been written and closed, as the etag can change while writing.

Since glibmm 2.22:

Returns
  The entity tag for the stream.

static GType Gio::FileIOStream::get_type | ( |  | ) |

static

Get the GType for this class, for use with the underlying GObject type system.

GFileIOStream* Gio::FileIOStream::gobj | ( |  | ) |

inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

const GFileIOStream* Gio::FileIOStream::gobj | ( |  | ) | const

inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

GFileIOStream* Gio::FileIOStream::gobj_copy | ( |  | ) |

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

Glib::RefPtr<FileInfo> Gio::FileIOStream::query_info | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable,
|  | const std::string & | attributes = `"*"`
| ) |  |

Queries a file input stream the given attributes.

This function blocks while querying the stream. For the asynchronous (non-blocking) version of this function, see query_info_async(). While the stream is blocked, the stream will set the pending flag internally, and any other operations on the stream will throw a Gio::Error with PENDING.

Parameters

  attributes | A file attribute query string.
  cancellable | A Cancellable object.

Returns
  A FileInfo, or an empty RefPtr on error.

Glib::RefPtr<FileInfo> Gio::FileIOStream::query_info | ( | const std::string & | attributes = `"*"` | ) |

Queries a file input stream the given attributes.

This function blocks while querying the stream. For the asynchronous (non-blocking) version of this function, see query_info_async(). While the stream is blocked, the stream will set the pending flag internally, and any other operations on the stream will throw a Gio::Error with PENDING.

Parameters

  attributes | A file attribute query string.

Returns
  A FileInfo, or an empty RefPtr on error.

void Gio::FileIOStream::query_info_async | ( | const SlotAsyncReady& | slot,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable,
|  | const std::string & | attributes = `"*"`,
|  | int | io_priority = `Glib::PRIORITY_DEFAULT`
| ) |  |

Queries the stream information asynchronously.

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

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.

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

Parameters

  slot | A callback slot which will be called when the request is satisfied.
  cancellable | A Cancellable object which can be used to cancel the operation.
  attributes | A file attribute query string.
  io_priority | The I/O priority of the request.

void Gio::FileIOStream::query_info_async | ( | const SlotAsyncReady& | slot,
|  | const std::string & | attributes = `"*"`,
|  | int | io_priority = `Glib::PRIORITY_DEFAULT`
| ) |  |

Queries the stream information asynchronously.

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

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

Parameters

  slot | A callback slot which will be called when the request is satisfied.
  attributes | A file attribute query string.
  io_priority | The I/O priority of the request.

Glib::RefPtr<FileInfo> Gio::FileIOStream::query_info_finish | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< AsyncResult >& | result | ) |

Finalizes the asynchronous query started by g_file_io_stream_query_info_async().

Since glibmm 2.22:

Parameters

  result | A AsyncResult.

Returns
  A FileInfo for the finished query.

Glib::RefPtr< Gio::FileIOStream > wrap | ( | GFileIOStream * | object,
|  | bool | take_copy = `false`
| ) |  |

related

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters

  object | The C instance.
  take_copy | False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.

Returns
  A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
