GioFilereplace_contents_bytes_async

since: 2.40

Declaration 

void
g_file_replace_contents_bytes_async (
  GFile* file,
  GBytes* contents,
  const char* etag,
  gboolean make_backup,
  GFileCreateFlags flags,
  GCancellable* cancellable,
  GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
  gpointer user_data
)

Description

Same as g_file_replace_contents_async() but takes a GBytes input instead. This function will keep a ref on contents until the operation is done. Unlike g_file_replace_contents_async() this allows forgetting about the content without waiting for the callback.

When this operation has completed, callback will be called with user_user data, and the operation can be finalized with g_file_replace_contents_finish().
