Function
Gioresources_lookup_data
Declaration
GBytes*
g_resources_lookup_data (
const char* path,
GResourceLookupFlags lookup_flags,
GError** error
)
Description
Looks for a file at the specified path
in the set of
globally registered resources and returns a GBytes
that
lets you directly access the data in memory.
The data is always followed by a zero byte, so you can safely use the data as a C string. However, that byte is not included in the size of the GBytes.
For uncompressed resource files this is a pointer directly into the resource bundle, which is typically in some readonly data section in the program binary. For compressed files we allocate memory on the heap and automatically uncompress the data.
lookup_flags
controls the behaviour of the lookup.
