Declaration

GInputStream*
get_stdin (
  GApplicationCommandLine* cmdline
)

Description

Gets the stdin of the invoking process.

The GInputStream can be used to read data passed to the standard input of the invoking process. This doesn’t work on all platforms. Presently, it is only available on UNIX when using a D-Bus daemon capable of passing file descriptors. If stdin is not available then NULL will be returned. In the future, support may be expanded to other platforms.

You must only call this function once per commandline invocation.

Available since: 2.34

Return value

Type: GInputStream

A GInputStream for stdin.

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

The return value can be NULL.
