GLibKeyFilesave_to_file

since: 2.40

Declaration [src]

gboolean
g_key_file_save_to_file (
  GKeyFile* key_file,
  const gchar* filename,
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

Writes the contents of key_file to filename using g_file_set_contents(). If you need stricter guarantees about durability of the written file than are provided by g_file_set_contents(), use g_file_set_contents_full() with the return value of g_key_file_to_data().

This function can fail for any of the reasons that g_file_set_contents() may fail.

Available since: 2.40

Parameters

filename

Type: const gchar*

The name of the file to write to.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.
The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
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: gboolean

TRUE if successful, else FALSE with error set.
