Description [src]

This function outputs key_file as a string.

Note that this function never reports an error, so it is safe to pass NULL as error.

Parameters

length

Type: gsize*

Return location for the length of the returned string, or NULL.

The argument will be set by the function.

The argument can be NULL.

error

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.

A newly allocated string holding the contents of the GKeyFile.

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

The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
