Method

GLibIOChannelset_line_term

Declaration [src]

void
g_io_channel_set_line_term (
  GIOChannel* channel,
  const gchar* line_term,
  gint length
)

Description [src]

This sets the string that GIOChannel uses to determine where in the file a line break occurs.

Parameters

line_term

Type: const gchar*

The line termination string. Use NULL for autodetect. Autodetection breaks on “\n”, “\r\n”, “\r”, “\0”, and the Unicode paragraph separator. Autodetection should not be used for anything other than file-based channels.

The argument can be NULL.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.

The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.

length

Type: gint

The length of the termination string. If -1 is passed, the string is assumed to be nul-terminated. This option allows termination strings with embedded nuls.
