g_file_load_bytes_finish (
  GFile* file,
  GAsyncResult* result,
  gchar** etag_out,
  GError** error
)

Description

Completes an asynchronous request to g_file_load_bytes_async().

For resources, etag_out will be set to NULL.

The data contained in the resulting GBytes is always zero-terminated, but this is not included in the GBytes length. The resulting GBytes should be freed with g_bytes_unref() when no longer in use.

See g_file_load_bytes() for more information.

Available since: 2.56
