Method

GioOutputStreamprintf

since: 2.40

Declaration [src]

gboolean
g_output_stream_printf (
  GOutputStream* stream,
  gsize* bytes_written,
  GCancellable* cancellable,
  GError** error,
  const gchar* format,
  ...
)

Description [src]

This is a utility function around g_output_stream_write_all(). It uses g_strdup_vprintf() to turn format and @… into a string that is then written to stream.

See the documentation of g_output_stream_write_all() about the behavior of the actual write operation.

Note that partial writes cannot be properly checked with this function due to the variable length of the written string, if you need precise control over partial write failures, you need to create you own printf()-like wrapper around g_output_stream_write() or g_output_stream_write_all().

Available since: 2.40

This method is not directly available to language bindings.
