Method

GioTaskreturn_error

since: 2.36

Declaration 

void
g_task_return_error (
  GTask* task,
  GError* error
)

Description

Sets task‘s result to error (which task assumes ownership of) and completes the task (see g_task_return_pointer() for more discussion of exactly what this means).

Note that since the task takes ownership of error, and since the task may be completed before returning from g_task_return_error(), you cannot assume that error is still valid after calling this. Call g_error_copy() on the error if you need to keep a local copy as well.

See also g_task_return_new_error(), g_task_return_new_error_literal().

Available since: 2.36

Parameters

error

Type: GError

The GError result of a task function.

The instance takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
