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.

Parameters

res

Type: GAsyncResult

A GAsyncResult.

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

Type: An array of guint8

A location to place the contents of the file.

The argument will be set by the function.
The length of the array is specified in the length argument.
The caller of the method takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
length

Type: gsize*

A location to place the length of the contents of the file, or NULL if the length is not needed.

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 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.
