Struct
GLibMappedFile
Description [src]
struct GMappedFile {
/* No available fields */
}
The GMappedFile represents a file mapping created with
g_mapped_file_new(). It has only private members and should
not be accessed directly.
Constructors
g_mapped_file_new_from_fd
Maps a file into memory. On UNIX, this is using the mmap() function.
since: 2.32
Instance methods
g_mapped_file_free
This call existed before GMappedFile had refcounting and is currently
exactly the same as g_mapped_file_unref().
deprecated: 2.22 since: 2.8
g_mapped_file_get_bytes
Creates a new GBytes which references the data mapped from file.
The mapped contents of the file must not be modified after creating this
bytes object, because a GBytes should be immutable.
since: 2.34
g_mapped_file_ref
Increments the reference count of file by one. It is safe to call
this function from any thread.
since: 2.22
g_mapped_file_unref
Decrements the reference count of file by one. If the reference count
drops to 0, unmaps the buffer of file and frees it.
