Properties

Compile-time signal type information.

This instance property is generated only for TypeScript type checking. It is not defined at runtime and should not be accessed in JS code.

Methods

  • Appends bytes to data that can be read from the input stream.

    Parameters

    • bytes: Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike> | GLib.Bytes

      input data

    Returns void

  • Appends data to data that can be read from the input stream

    Parameters

    • data: string | Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>

      input data

    • Optionaldestroy: DestroyNotify

      function that is called to free data, or null

    Returns void

  • 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:

      g_object_bind_property (action, "active", widget, "sensitive", 0);
    

    Will result in the "sensitive" property of the widget GObject.Object instance to be updated with the same value of the "active" property of the action GObject.Object instance.

    If flags contains GObject.BindingFlags.BIDIRECTIONAL then the binding will be mutual: if target_property on target changes then the source_property on source will be updated as well.

    The binding will automatically be removed when either the source or the target instances are finalized. To remove the binding without affecting the source and the target you can just call g_object_unref() on the returned GObject.Binding instance.

    Removing the binding by calling g_object_unref() on it must only be done if the binding, source and target are only used from a single thread and it is clear that both source and target outlive the binding. Especially it is not safe to rely on this if the binding, source or target can be finalized from different threads. Keep another reference to the binding and use g_binding_unbind() instead to be on the safe side.

    A GObject.Object can have multiple bindings.

    Parameters

    Returns GObject.Binding

    the GObject.Binding instance representing the binding between the two GObject.Object instances. The binding is released whenever the GObject.Binding reference count reaches zero.

  • Complete version of g_object_bind_property().

    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.

    If flags contains GObject.BindingFlags.BIDIRECTIONAL then the binding will be mutual: if target_property on target changes then the source_property on source will be updated as well. The transform_from function is only used in case of bidirectional bindings, otherwise it will be ignored

    The binding will automatically be removed when either the source or the target instances are finalized. This will release the reference that is being held on the GObject.Binding instance; if you want to hold on to the GObject.Binding instance, you will need to hold a reference to it.

    To remove the binding, call g_binding_unbind().

    A GObject.Object can have multiple bindings.

    The same user_data parameter will be used for both transform_to and transform_from transformation functions; the notify function will be called once, when the binding is removed. If you need different data for each transformation function, please use g_object_bind_property_with_closures() instead.

    Parameters

    • source_property: string

      the property on source to bind

    • target: GObject.Object

      the target GObject.Object

    • target_property: string

      the property on target to bind

    • flags: GObject.BindingFlags

      flags to pass to GObject.Binding

    • Optionaltransform_to: BindingTransformFunc

      the transformation function from the source to the target, or null to use the default

    • Optionaltransform_from: BindingTransformFunc

      the transformation function from the target to the source, or null to use the default

    • Optionalnotify: DestroyNotify

      a function to call when disposing the binding, to free resources used by the transformation functions, or null if not required

    Returns GObject.Binding

    the GObject.Binding instance representing the binding between the two GObject.Object instances. The binding is released whenever the GObject.Binding reference count reaches zero.

  • 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.

    This function is the language bindings friendly version of g_object_bind_property_full(), using GClosures instead of function pointers.

    Parameters

    • ...args: never[]

      the property on source to bind

    Returns any

    the GObject.Binding instance representing the binding between the two GObject.Object instances. The binding is released whenever the GObject.Binding reference count reaches zero.

  • Checks if stream is actually pollable. Some classes may implement Gio.PollableInputStream but have only certain instances of that class be pollable. If this method returns false, then the behavior of other Gio.PollableInputStream methods is undefined.

    For any given stream, the value returned by this method is constant; a stream cannot switch from pollable to non-pollable or vice versa.

    Returns boolean

    true if stream is pollable, false if not.

  • Tests if the length of the stream can be adjusted with g_seekable_truncate().

    Returns boolean

    true if the stream can be truncated, false otherwise.

  • Closes the stream, releasing resources related to it.

    Once the stream is closed, all other operations will return Gio.IOErrorEnum.CLOSED. Closing a stream multiple times will not return an error.

    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 Gio.IOErrorEnum.CLOSED for all operations. Still, it is important to check and report the error to the user.

    If cancellable is not null, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error Gio.IOErrorEnum.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.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

    true on success, false on failure

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

    For behaviour details see g_input_stream_close().

    The asynchronous 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

    Returns Promise<boolean>

    Parameters

    Returns void | Promise<boolean>

  • Creates an asynchronous iterator for a Gio.InputStream that reads the stream in chunks.

    Each iteration will return a GLib.Bytes object containing at most count bytes (default 4096). The iterator will end when the stream is exhausted.

    Example:

    import Gio from "gi://Gio";

    const textDecoder = new TextDecoder("utf-8");

    const file = Gio.File.new_for_path("/etc/os-release");
    const inputStream = file.read(null);

    for await (const bytes of inputStream.createAsyncIterator(4)) {
    log(textDecoder.decode(bytes.toArray()));
    }

    returns An async iterator yielding GLib.Bytes objects

    Parameters

    • Optionalcount: number

      Maximum number of bytes to read per chunk (default: 4096)

    • Optionalpriority: number

      I/O priority of the request (default: GLib.PRIORITY_DEFAULT)

    Returns AsyncIterableIterator<GLib.Bytes>

  • Creates a synchronous iterator for a Gio.InputStream that reads the stream in chunks.

    Each iteration will return a GLib.Bytes object containing at most count bytes (default 4096). The iterator will end when the stream is exhausted.

    Example:

    import Gio from "gi://Gio";

    const textDecoder = new TextDecoder("utf-8");

    const file = Gio.File.new_for_path("/etc/os-release");
    const inputStream = file.read(null);

    for (const bytes of inputStream.createSyncIterator(4)) {
    log(textDecoder.decode(bytes.toArray()));
    }

    returns An iterable yielding GLib.Bytes objects

    Parameters

    • Optionalcount: number

      Maximum number of bytes to read per chunk (default: 4096)

    • Optionalpriority: number

      I/O priority of the request (default: GLib.PRIORITY_DEFAULT)

    Returns IterableIterator<GLib.Bytes>

  • Disconnects a handler from an instance so it will not be called during any future or currently ongoing emissions of the signal it has been connected to.

    Parameters

    • id: number

      Handler ID of the handler to be disconnected

    Returns void

  • 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.Object::notify signal is emitted for each property modified while the object is frozen.

    This is necessary for accessors that modify multiple properties to prevent premature notification while the object is still being modified.

    Returns void

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

    Parameters

    • key: string

      name of the key for that association

    Returns any

    the data if found, or null if no such data exists.

  • Gets a property of an object.

    The value can be:

    • an empty GObject.Value initialized by G_VALUE_INIT, which will be automatically initialized with the expected type of the property (since GLib 2.60)
    • a GObject.Value initialized with the expected type of the property
    • a GObject.Value initialized with a type to which the expected type of the property can be transformed

    In general, a copy is made of the property contents and the caller is responsible for freeing the memory by calling GObject.Value.unset.

    Note that GObject.Object.get_property is really intended for language bindings, GObject.Object.get is much more convenient for C programming.

    Parameters

    • property_name: string

      The name of the property to get

    • value: any

      Return location for the property value. Can be an empty GObject.Value initialized by G_VALUE_INIT (auto-initialized with expected type since GLib 2.60), a GObject.Value initialized with the expected property type, or a GObject.Value initialized with a transformable type

    Returns any

  • 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.

    Parameters

    • names: string[]

      the names of each property to get

    • values: any[]

      the values of each property to get

    Returns void

  • Checks if stream can be read.

    Note that some stream types may not be able to implement this 100% reliably, and it is possible that a call to g_input_stream_read() after this returns true would still block. To guarantee non-blocking behavior, you should always use g_pollable_input_stream_read_nonblocking(), which will return a Gio.IOErrorEnum.WOULD_BLOCK error rather than blocking.

    The behaviour of this method is undefined if g_pollable_input_stream_can_poll() returns false for stream.

    Returns boolean

    true if stream is readable, false if not. If an error has occurred on stream, this will result in g_pollable_input_stream_is_readable() returning true, and the next attempt to read will return the error.

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

    When possible, eg. when signaling a property change from within the class that registered the property, you should use g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead.

    Note that emission of the notify signal may be blocked with g_object_freeze_notify(). In this case, the signal emissions are queued and will be emitted (in reverse order) when g_object_thaw_notify() is called.

    Parameters

    • property_name: string

      the name of a property installed on the class of object.

    Returns void

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

    This function omits the property name lookup, hence it is faster than g_object_notify().

    One way to avoid using g_object_notify() from within the class that registered the properties, and using g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead, is to store the GParamSpec used with g_object_class_install_property() inside a static array, e.g.:

      typedef enum
    {
    PROP_FOO = 1,
    PROP_LAST
    } MyObjectProperty;

    static GParamSpec *properties[PROP_LAST];

    static void
    my_object_class_init (MyObjectClass *klass)
    {
    properties[PROP_FOO] = g_param_spec_int ("foo", NULL, NULL,
    0, 100,
    50,
    G_PARAM_READWRITE | G_PARAM_STATIC_STRINGS);
    g_object_class_install_property (gobject_class,
    PROP_FOO,
    properties[PROP_FOO]);
    }

    and then notify a change on the "foo" property with:

      g_object_notify_by_pspec (self, properties[PROP_FOO]);
    

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Tries to read count bytes from the stream into the buffer starting at buffer. Will block during this read.

    If count is zero returns zero and does nothing. A value of count larger than G_MAXSSIZE will cause a Gio.IOErrorEnum.INVALID_ARGUMENT error.

    On success, the number of bytes read into the buffer is returned. It is not an error if this is not the same as the requested size, as it can happen e.g. near the end of a file. Zero is returned on end of file (or if count is zero), but never otherwise.

    The returned buffer is not a nul-terminated string, it can contain nul bytes at any position, and this function doesn't nul-terminate the buffer.

    If cancellable is not null, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error Gio.IOErrorEnum.CANCELLED will be returned. If an operation was partially finished when the operation was cancelled the partial result will be returned, without an error.

    On error -1 is returned and error is set accordingly.

    Parameters

    Returns [number, Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>]

    Number of bytes read, or -1 on error, or 0 on end of file.

  • Tries to read count bytes from the stream into the buffer starting at buffer. Will block during this read.

    This function is similar to g_input_stream_read(), except it tries to read as many bytes as requested, only stopping on an error or end of stream.

    On a successful read of count bytes, or if we reached the end of the stream, true is returned, and bytes_read is set to the number of bytes read into buffer.

    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 GLib.Error, if this function returns false (and sets error) then bytes_read will be set to the number of bytes that were successfully read 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_input_stream_read().

    Parameters

    Returns [boolean, Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>, number]

    true on success, false if there was an error

  • Request an asynchronous read of count bytes from the stream into the buffer starting at buffer. When the operation is finished callback will be called. You can then call g_input_stream_read_finish() to get the result of the operation.

    During an async request no other sync and async calls are allowed on stream, and will result in Gio.IOErrorEnum.PENDING errors.

    A value of count larger than G_MAXSSIZE will cause a Gio.IOErrorEnum.INVALID_ARGUMENT error.

    On success, the number of bytes read into the buffer will be passed to the callback. It is not an error if this is not the same as the requested size, as it can happen e.g. near the end of a file, but generally we try to read as many bytes as requested. Zero is returned on end of file (or if count is zero), but never otherwise.

    Any outstanding i/o request with higher priority (lower numerical value) will be executed before an outstanding request with lower priority. Default priority is G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT.

    The asynchronous 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

    Returns [Promise<number>, Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>]

    Parameters

    Returns [void | Promise<number>, Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>]

  • Like g_input_stream_read(), this tries to read count bytes from the stream in a blocking fashion. However, rather than reading into a user-supplied buffer, this will create a new GLib.Bytes containing the data that was read. This may be easier to use from language bindings.

    If count is zero, returns a zero-length GLib.Bytes and does nothing. A value of count larger than G_MAXSSIZE will cause a Gio.IOErrorEnum.INVALID_ARGUMENT error.

    On success, a new GLib.Bytes is returned. It is not an error if the size of this object is not the same as the requested size, as it can happen e.g. near the end of a file. A zero-length GLib.Bytes is returned on end of file (or if count is zero), but never otherwise.

    If cancellable is not null, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error Gio.IOErrorEnum.CANCELLED will be returned. If an operation was partially finished when the operation was cancelled the partial result will be returned, without an error.

    On error null is returned and error is set accordingly.

    Parameters

    • count: number

      maximum number of bytes that will be read from the stream. Common values include 4096 and 8192.

    • Optionalcancellable: Gio.Cancellable

      optional Gio.Cancellable object, null to ignore.

    Returns GLib.Bytes

    a new GLib.Bytes, or null on error

  • Request an asynchronous read of count bytes from the stream into a new GLib.Bytes. When the operation is finished callback will be called. You can then call g_input_stream_read_bytes_finish() to get the result of the operation.

    During an async request no other sync and async calls are allowed on stream, and will result in Gio.IOErrorEnum.PENDING errors.

    A value of count larger than G_MAXSSIZE will cause a Gio.IOErrorEnum.INVALID_ARGUMENT error.

    On success, the new GLib.Bytes will be passed to the callback. It is not an error if this is smaller than the requested size, as it can happen e.g. near the end of a file, but generally we try to read as many bytes as requested. Zero is returned on end of file (or if count is zero), but never otherwise.

    Any outstanding I/O request with higher priority (lower numerical value) will be executed before an outstanding request with lower priority. Default priority is G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT.

    Parameters

    Returns Promise<GLib.Bytes>

  • Request an asynchronous read of count bytes from the stream into a new GLib.Bytes. When the operation is finished callback will be called. You can then call g_input_stream_read_bytes_finish() to get the result of the operation.

    During an async request no other sync and async calls are allowed on stream, and will result in Gio.IOErrorEnum.PENDING errors.

    A value of count larger than G_MAXSSIZE will cause a Gio.IOErrorEnum.INVALID_ARGUMENT error.

    On success, the new GLib.Bytes will be passed to the callback. It is not an error if this is smaller than the requested size, as it can happen e.g. near the end of a file, but generally we try to read as many bytes as requested. Zero is returned on end of file (or if count is zero), but never otherwise.

    Any outstanding I/O request with higher priority (lower numerical value) will be executed before an outstanding request with lower priority. Default priority is G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Request an asynchronous read of count bytes from the stream into a new GLib.Bytes. When the operation is finished callback will be called. You can then call g_input_stream_read_bytes_finish() to get the result of the operation.

    During an async request no other sync and async calls are allowed on stream, and will result in Gio.IOErrorEnum.PENDING errors.

    A value of count larger than G_MAXSSIZE will cause a Gio.IOErrorEnum.INVALID_ARGUMENT error.

    On success, the new GLib.Bytes will be passed to the callback. It is not an error if this is smaller than the requested size, as it can happen e.g. near the end of a file, but generally we try to read as many bytes as requested. Zero is returned on end of file (or if count is zero), but never otherwise.

    Any outstanding I/O request with higher priority (lower numerical value) will be executed before an outstanding request with lower priority. Default priority is G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT.

    Parameters

    Returns void | Promise<GLib.Bytes>

  • Attempts to read up to count bytes from stream into buffer, as with g_input_stream_read(). If stream is not currently readable, this will immediately return Gio.IOErrorEnum.WOULD_BLOCK, and you can use g_pollable_input_stream_create_source() to create a GLib.Source that will be triggered when stream is readable.

    Note that since this method never blocks, you cannot actually use cancellable to cancel it. However, it will return an error if cancellable has already been cancelled when you call, which may happen if you call this method after a source triggers due to having been cancelled.

    The behaviour of this method is undefined if g_pollable_input_stream_can_poll() returns false for stream.

    Parameters

    Returns [number, Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>]

    the number of bytes read, or -1 on error (including Gio.IOErrorEnum.WOULD_BLOCK).

  • Increases the reference count of object.

    Since GLib 2.56, if GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED is 2.56 or greater, the type of object will be propagated to the return type (using the GCC typeof() extension), so any casting the caller needs to do on the return type must be explicit.

    Returns GObject.Object

    the same object

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

    In other words, if the object is floating, then this call "assumes ownership" of the floating reference, converting it to a normal reference by clearing the floating flag while leaving the reference count unchanged. If the object is not floating, then this call adds a new normal reference increasing the reference count by one.

    Since GLib 2.56, the type of object will be propagated to the return type under the same conditions as for g_object_ref().

    Returns GObject.Object

    object

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

    Attempting to seek past the end of the stream will have different results depending on if the stream is fixed-sized or resizable. If the stream is resizable then seeking past the end and then writing will result in zeros filling the empty space. Seeking past the end of a resizable stream and reading will result in EOF. Seeking past the end of a fixed-sized stream will fail.

    Any operation that would result in a negative offset will fail.

    If cancellable is not null, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error Gio.IOErrorEnum.CANCELLED will be returned.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

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

  • Sets multiple properties of an object at once. The properties argument should be a dictionary mapping property names to values.

    Parameters

    • properties: { [key: string]: any }

      Object containing the properties to set

    Returns void

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

    If the object already had an association with that name, the old association will be destroyed.

    Internally, the key is converted to a GLib.Quark using g_quark_from_string(). This means a copy of key is kept permanently (even after object has been finalized) — so it is recommended to only use a small, bounded set of values for key in your program, to avoid the GLib.Quark storage growing unbounded.

    Parameters

    • key: string

      name of the key

    • Optionaldata: any

      data to associate with that key

    Returns void

  • Tries to skip count bytes from the stream. Will block during the operation.

    This is identical to g_input_stream_read(), from a behaviour standpoint, but the bytes that are skipped are not returned to the user. Some streams have an implementation that is more efficient than reading the data.

    This function is optional for inherited classes, as the default implementation emulates it using read.

    If cancellable is not null, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error Gio.IOErrorEnum.CANCELLED will be returned. If an operation was partially finished when the operation was cancelled the partial result will be returned, without an error.

    Parameters

    • count: number

      the number of bytes that will be skipped from the stream

    • Optionalcancellable: Gio.Cancellable

      optional Gio.Cancellable object, null to ignore.

    Returns number

    Number of bytes skipped, or -1 on error

  • Request an asynchronous skip of count bytes from the stream. When the operation is finished callback will be called. You can then call g_input_stream_skip_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.IOErrorEnum.PENDING errors.

    A value of count larger than G_MAXSSIZE will cause a Gio.IOErrorEnum.INVALID_ARGUMENT error.

    On success, the number of bytes skipped will be passed to the callback. It is not an error if this is not the same as the requested size, as it can happen e.g. near the end of a file, but generally we try to skip as many bytes as requested. Zero is returned on end of file (or if count is zero), but never otherwise.

    Any outstanding i/o request with higher priority (lower numerical value) will be executed before an outstanding request with lower priority. Default priority is G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT.

    The asynchronous 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

    • count: number

      the number of bytes that will be skipped from the stream

    • io_priority: number

      the I/O priority of the request

    • Optionalcancellable: Gio.Cancellable

      optional Gio.Cancellable object, null to ignore.

    Returns Promise<number>

  • Request an asynchronous skip of count bytes from the stream. When the operation is finished callback will be called. You can then call g_input_stream_skip_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.IOErrorEnum.PENDING errors.

    A value of count larger than G_MAXSSIZE will cause a Gio.IOErrorEnum.INVALID_ARGUMENT error.

    On success, the number of bytes skipped will be passed to the callback. It is not an error if this is not the same as the requested size, as it can happen e.g. near the end of a file, but generally we try to skip as many bytes as requested. Zero is returned on end of file (or if count is zero), but never otherwise.

    Any outstanding i/o request with higher priority (lower numerical value) will be executed before an outstanding request with lower priority. Default priority is G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT.

    Parameters

    Returns void | Promise<number>

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

    Parameters

    • key: string

      name of the key

    Returns any

    the data if found, or null if no such data exists.

  • 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:

    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");
    // retrieve the old string list
    GList *list = g_object_steal_qdata (object, quark_string_list);

    // prepend new string
    list = g_list_prepend (list, g_strdup (new_string));
    // this changed 'list', so we need to set it again
    g_object_set_qdata_full (object, quark_string_list, list, free_string_list);
    }
    static void
    free_string_list (gpointer data)
    {
    GList *node, *list = data;

    for (node = list; node; node = node->next)
    g_free (node->data);
    g_list_free (list);
    }

    Using g_object_get_qdata() in the above example, instead of g_object_steal_qdata() would have left the destroy function set, and thus the partial string list would have been freed upon g_object_set_qdata_full().

    Parameters

    • quark: number

      A GLib.Quark, naming the user data pointer

    Returns any

    The user data pointer set, or null

  • Tells the current position within the stream.

    Returns number

    the (positive or zero) offset from the beginning of the buffer, zero if the target is not seekable.

  • 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.

    Duplicate notifications for each property are squashed so that at most one GObject.Object::notify signal is emitted for each property, in the reverse order in which they have been queued.

    It is an error to call this function when the freeze count is zero.

    Returns void

  • Sets the length of the stream to offset. If the stream was previously larger than offset, the extra data is discarded. If the stream was previously shorter than offset, it is extended with NUL ('\0') bytes.

    If cancellable is not null, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error Gio.IOErrorEnum.CANCELLED will be returned. If an operation was partially finished when the operation was cancelled the partial result will be returned, without an error.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

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

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

    If the pointer to the GObject.Object may be reused in future (for example, if it is an instance variable of another object), it is recommended to clear the pointer to null rather than retain a dangling pointer to a potentially invalid GObject.Object instance. Use g_clear_object() for this.

    Returns void

  • the constructed function is called by g_object_new() as the final step of the object creation process. At the point of the call, all construction properties have been set on the object. The purpose of this call is to allow for object initialisation steps that can only be performed after construction properties have been set. constructed implementors should chain up to the constructed call of their parent class to allow it to complete its initialisation.

    Returns void

  • the dispose function is supposed to drop all references to other objects, but keep the instance otherwise intact, so that client method invocations still work. It may be run multiple times (due to reference loops). Before returning, dispose should chain up to the dispose method of the parent class.

    Returns void

  • Checks if stream can be read.

    Note that some stream types may not be able to implement this 100% reliably, and it is possible that a call to g_input_stream_read() after this returns true would still block. To guarantee non-blocking behavior, you should always use g_pollable_input_stream_read_nonblocking(), which will return a Gio.IOErrorEnum.WOULD_BLOCK error rather than blocking.

    The behaviour of this method is undefined if g_pollable_input_stream_can_poll() returns false for stream.

    Returns boolean

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

    When possible, eg. when signaling a property change from within the class that registered the property, you should use g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead.

    Note that emission of the notify signal may be blocked with g_object_freeze_notify(). In this case, the signal emissions are queued and will be emitted (in reverse order) when g_object_thaw_notify() is called.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Request an asynchronous read of count bytes from the stream into the buffer starting at buffer. When the operation is finished callback will be called. You can then call g_input_stream_read_finish() to get the result of the operation.

    During an async request no other sync and async calls are allowed on stream, and will result in Gio.IOErrorEnum.PENDING errors.

    A value of count larger than G_MAXSSIZE will cause a Gio.IOErrorEnum.INVALID_ARGUMENT error.

    On success, the number of bytes read into the buffer will be passed to the callback. It is not an error if this is not the same as the requested size, as it can happen e.g. near the end of a file, but generally we try to read as many bytes as requested. Zero is returned on end of file (or if count is zero), but never otherwise.

    Any outstanding i/o request with higher priority (lower numerical value) will be executed before an outstanding request with lower priority. Default priority is G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT.

    The asynchronous 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

    Returns Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>

  • Attempts to read up to count bytes from stream into buffer, as with g_input_stream_read(). If stream is not currently readable, this will immediately return Gio.IOErrorEnum.WOULD_BLOCK, and you can use g_pollable_input_stream_create_source() to create a GLib.Source that will be triggered when stream is readable.

    Note that since this method never blocks, you cannot actually use cancellable to cancel it. However, it will return an error if cancellable has already been cancelled when you call, which may happen if you call this method after a source triggers due to having been cancelled.

    The behaviour of this method is undefined if g_pollable_input_stream_can_poll() returns false for stream.

    Returns [number, Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>]

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

    Attempting to seek past the end of the stream will have different results depending on if the stream is fixed-sized or resizable. If the stream is resizable then seeking past the end and then writing will result in zeros filling the empty space. Seeking past the end of a resizable stream and reading will result in EOF. Seeking past the end of a fixed-sized stream will fail.

    Any operation that would result in a negative offset will fail.

    If cancellable is not null, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error Gio.IOErrorEnum.CANCELLED will be returned.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

  • the generic setter for all properties of this type. Should be overridden for every type with properties. If implementations of set_property don't emit property change notification explicitly, this will be done implicitly by the type system. However, if the notify signal is emitted explicitly, the type system will not emit it a second time.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Tries to skip count bytes from the stream. Will block during the operation.

    This is identical to g_input_stream_read(), from a behaviour standpoint, but the bytes that are skipped are not returned to the user. Some streams have an implementation that is more efficient than reading the data.

    This function is optional for inherited classes, as the default implementation emulates it using read.

    If cancellable is not null, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error Gio.IOErrorEnum.CANCELLED will be returned. If an operation was partially finished when the operation was cancelled the partial result will be returned, without an error.

    Parameters

    • count: number

      the number of bytes that will be skipped from the stream

    • Optionalcancellable: Gio.Cancellable

      optional Gio.Cancellable object, null to ignore.

    Returns number

  • Request an asynchronous skip of count bytes from the stream. When the operation is finished callback will be called. You can then call g_input_stream_skip_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.IOErrorEnum.PENDING errors.

    A value of count larger than G_MAXSSIZE will cause a Gio.IOErrorEnum.INVALID_ARGUMENT error.

    On success, the number of bytes skipped will be passed to the callback. It is not an error if this is not the same as the requested size, as it can happen e.g. near the end of a file, but generally we try to skip as many bytes as requested. Zero is returned on end of file (or if count is zero), but never otherwise.

    Any outstanding i/o request with higher priority (lower numerical value) will be executed before an outstanding request with lower priority. Default priority is G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT.

    The asynchronous 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

    Returns void

  • Sets the length of the stream to offset. If the stream was previously larger than offset, the extra data is discarded. If the stream was previously shorter than offset, it is extended with NUL ('\0') bytes.

    If cancellable is not null, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error Gio.IOErrorEnum.CANCELLED will be returned. If an operation was partially finished when the operation was cancelled the partial result will be returned, without an error.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

  • 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.

    Parameters

    Returns void

Methods - Inherited from Gio.InputStream

  • 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 GObject.ParamSpec, 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.

    This function is meant to be called from the interface's default vtable initialization function (the class_init member of GObject.TypeInfo.) It must not be called after after class_init has been called for any object types implementing this interface.

    If pspec is a floating reference, it will be consumed.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Parameters

    • property_id: number

      the new property ID

    • name: string

      the name of a property registered in a parent class or in an interface of this class.

    Returns void
