Description [src]

Creates a new pixbuf by loading an image from an input stream.

The file format is detected automatically.

If NULL is returned, then error will be set.

The cancellable can be used to abort the operation from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned. Other possible errors are in the GDK_PIXBUF_ERROR and G_IO_ERROR domains.

The stream is not closed.
