## Detailed Description

Stream seeking interface.

Seekable is implemented by streams (implementations of InputStream or OutputStream) that support seeking. To find the position of a stream, use tell(). To find out if a stream supports seeking, use can_seek(). To position a stream, use seek(). To find out if a stream supports truncating, use can_truncate(). To truncate a stream, use truncate().

Since glibmm 2.16:

## Member Function Documentation

static void Gio::Seekable::add_interface | ( | GType | gtype_implementer | ) |

static

bool Gio::Seekable::can_seek | ( |  | ) | const

Tests if the stream supports the SeekableIface.

Returns
  `true` if seekable can be seeked. `false` otherwise.

bool Gio::Seekable::can_truncate | ( |  | ) | const

Tests if the stream can be truncated.

Returns
  `true` if the stream can be truncated, `false` otherwise.

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

static

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

GSeekable* Gio::Seekable::gobj | ( |  | ) |

inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

const GSeekable* Gio::Seekable::gobj | ( |  | ) | const

inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

bool Gio::Seekable::seek | ( | goffset | offset,
|  | Glib::SeekType | type,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable
| ) |  |

Seeks in the stream by the given offset, modified by type.

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

  offset | A #goffset.
  type | A SeekType.
  cancellable | Cancellable object.

Returns
  `true` if successful. If an error has occurred, this function will return `false` and set error appropriately if present.

bool Gio::Seekable::seek | ( | goffset | offset,
|  | Glib::SeekType | type
| ) |  |

A seek() convenience overload.

goffset Gio::Seekable::tell | ( |  | ) | const

Tells the current position within the stream.

Returns
  The offset from the beginning of the buffer.

bool Gio::Seekable::truncate | ( | goffset | offset,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable
| ) |  |

Truncates a stream with a given #offset.

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

  offset | A #goffset.
  cancellable | Cancellable object.

Returns
  `true` if successful. If an error has occurred, this function will return `false` and set error appropriately if present.

bool Gio::Seekable::truncate | ( | goffset | offset | ) |

A truncate() convenience overload.

## Friends And Related Function Documentation

Glib::RefPtr< Gio::Seekable > wrap | ( | GSeekable * | 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.
