Method

GioFileload_partial_contents_finish

Declaration [src] 

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

Description [src]

Finishes an asynchronous partial load operation that was started with g_file_load_partial_contents_async(). The data is always zero-terminated, but this is not included in the resultant length. The returned contents should be freed with g_free() when no longer needed.

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 returned 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 argument will be set by the function.
The argument can be NULL.
etag_out

Type: char**

A location to place the current entity tag for the file, or NULL if the entity tag is not needed.

The argument will be set by the function.
The argument can be set to NULL by the method.
The argument can be NULL.
The caller of the method takes ownership of the returned data, and is responsible for freeing it.
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: gboolean

TRUE if the load was successful. If FALSE and error is present, it will be set appropriately.
