Function

Pango-1.0 ▶ Pango ▶ read_lineDeprecated 1.38

  • Reads an entire line from a file into a buffer.

    Lines may be delimited with '\n', '\r', '\n\r', or '\r\n'. The delimiter is not written into the buffer. Text after a '#' character is treated as a comment and skipped. '' can be used to escape a # character. '' proceeding a line delimiter combines adjacent lines. A '' proceeding any other character is ignored and written into the output buffer unmodified.

    Parameters

    • Deprecatedstream: any

      a stdio stream

    • Deprecatedstr: GLib.String

      GLib.String buffer into which to write the result

    Returns number

    0 if the stream was already at an EOF character, otherwise the number of lines read (this is useful for maintaining a line number counter which doesn't combine lines with '')
