Parameters

source

Type: GInputStream

A GInputStream.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.

flags

Type: GOutputStreamSpliceFlags

A set of GOutputStreamSpliceFlags.

cancellable

Type: GCancellable

Optional GCancellable object, NULL to ignore.

The argument can be NULL.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.

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: gssize

A #gssize containing the size of the data spliced, or -1 if an error occurred. Note that if the number of bytes spliced is greater than G_MAXSSIZE, then that will be returned, and there is no way to determine the actual number of bytes spliced.
