Method

GdkDropread_finish

Declaration [src] 

GInputStream*
gdk_drop_read_finish (
  GdkDrop* self,
  GAsyncResult* result,
  const char** out_mime_type,
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

Finishes an async drop read operation.

Note that you must not use blocking read calls on the returned stream in the GTK thread, since some platforms might require communication with GTK to complete the data transfer. You can use async APIs such as g_input_stream_read_bytes_async().

See gdk_drop_read_async().

Parameters

result

Type: GAsyncResult

A GAsyncResult

The data is owned by the caller of the method.
out_mime_type

Type: const char**

Return location for the used mime type.

The argument will be set by the function.
The returned data is owned by the instance.
The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
error

Type: GError **

The return location for a recoverable error.

The argument can be NULL.
If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to a NULL GError*.
The argument will be left initialized to NULL by the method if there are no errors.
In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

Return value

Type: GInputStream

The GInputStream

The caller of the method takes ownership of the returned data, and is responsible for freeing it.
The return value can be NULL.
