Declaration

gboolean
g_file_load_contents_finish (
  GFile* file,
  GAsyncResult* res,
  char** contents,
  gsize* length,
  char** etag_out,
  GError** error
)

Description

Finishes an asynchronous load of the file‘s contents. The contents are placed in contents, and length is set to the size of the contents string. The contents should be freed with g_free() when no longer needed. If etag_out is present, it will be set to the new entity tag for the file.

	The argument can be `NULL`.
	The instance takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
	The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
`error`	`GError **`
