Method
GLibBytesnew_from_bytes
since: 2.32
Description
Creates a GBytes
which is a subsection of another GBytes
. The offset
+
length
may not be longer than the size of bytes
.
A reference to bytes
will be held by the newly created GBytes
until
the byte data is no longer needed.
Since 2.56, if offset
is 0 and length
matches the size of bytes
, then
bytes
will be returned with the reference count incremented by 1. If bytes
is a slice of another GBytes
, then the resulting GBytes
will reference
the same GBytes
instead of bytes
. This allows consumers to simplify the
usage of GBytes
when asynchronously writing to streams.
Available since: 2.32
