Function

Pangoread_line

deprecated: 1.38

Declaration [src]

gint
pango_read_line (
  FILE* stream,
  GString* str
)

Description [src]

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.

Deprecated since: 1.38

Please do not use it in newly written code.

Parameters

stream

Type: FILE*

A stdio stream.

str

Type: GString

GString buffer into which to write the result.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.

Return value

Type: gint

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 ‘').
