## Detailed Description

Base class for implementing streaming output.

Since glibmm 2.16:

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Gio::OutputStream::OutputStream | ( | OutputStream&& | src | ) |
| noexcept

Gio::OutputStream::~OutputStream | ( |  | ) |
| override noexcept

Gio::OutputStream::OutputStream | ( |  | ) |
| protected

## Member Function Documentation

void Gio::OutputStream::clear_pending | ( |  | ) |
| protected

Clears the pending flag on stream.

Since glibmm 2.50:

bool Gio::OutputStream::close | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable | ) |

Closes the stream, releasing resources related to it.

Once the stream is closed, all other operations will throw a Gio::Error with CLOSED. Closing a stream multiple times will not cause an error to be thrown.

Closing a stream will automatically flush any outstanding buffers in the stream.

Streams will be automatically closed when the last reference is dropped, but you might want to call this function to make sure resources are released as early as possible.

Some streams might keep the backing store of the stream (e.g. a file descriptor) open after the stream is closed. See the documentation for the individual stream for details.

On failure the first error that happened will be reported, but the close operation will finish as much as possible. A stream that failed to close will still throw a Gio::Error with CLOSED for all operations. Still, it is important to check and report the error to the user, otherwise there might be a loss of data as all data might not be written.

The operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, a Gio::Error will be thrown with CANCELLED. Cancelling a close will still leave the stream closed, but there some streams can use a faster close that doesn't block to e.g. check errors. On cancellation (as with any error) there is no guarantee that all written data will reach the target.

Parameters

  cancellable | Cancellable object.

Returns
  `true` on success, `false` on failure.

Exceptions

  Glib::Error |

bool Gio::OutputStream::close | ( |  | ) |

A close() convenience overload.

void Gio::OutputStream::close_async | ( | const SlotAsyncReady& | slot,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable,
|  | int | io_priority = `Glib::PRIORITY_DEFAULT`
| ) |  |

Requests an asynchronous close of the stream, releasing resources related to it.

When the operation is finished the slot will be called, giving the results. You can then call close_finish() to get the result of the operation. For behaviour details see close().

The asyncronous methods have a default fallback that uses threads to implement asynchronicity, so they are optional for inheriting classes. However, if you override one you must override all.

Parameters

  slot | Callback slot to call when the request is satisfied.
  cancellable | Cancellable object.
  io_priority | The io priority of the request.

void Gio::OutputStream::close_async | ( | const SlotAsyncReady& | slot,
|  | int | io_priority = `Glib::PRIORITY_DEFAULT`
| ) |  |

Requests an asynchronous close of the stream, releasing resources related to it.

When the operation is finished the slot will be called, giving the results. You can then call close_finish() to get the result of the operation. For behaviour details see close().

The asyncronous methods have a default fallback that uses threads to implement asynchronicity, so they are optional for inheriting classes. However, if you override one you must override all.

Parameters

  slot | Callback slot to call when the request is satisfied.
  io_priority | The io priority of the request.

bool Gio::OutputStream::close_finish | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< AsyncResult >& | result | ) |

Exceptions

  Glib::Error |

bool Gio::OutputStream::flush | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable | ) |

Flushed any outstanding buffers in the stream.

Will block during the operation. Closing the stream will implicitly cause a flush.

This function is optional for inherited classes.

The operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, a Gio::Error will be thrown with CANCELLED.

Parameters

  cancellable | Cancellable object.

Returns

|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable,
|  | int | io_priority = `Glib::PRIORITY_DEFAULT`
| ) |  |

Flushes a stream asynchronously.

When the operation is finished the slot will be called, giving the results. You can then call flush_finish() to get the result of the operation. For behaviour details see flush().

Parameters

  slot | Callback slot to call when the request is satisfied.
  cancellable | Cancellable object.
  io_priority | The io priority of the request.

void Gio::OutputStream::flush_async | ( | const SlotAsyncReady& | slot,

| ) |  |

Splices an input stream into an output stream.

Parameters

Returns
  A #gssize containing the size of the data spliced.

void Gio::OutputStream::splice_async | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< InputStream >& | source,
|  | const SlotAsyncReady& | slot,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable,
|  | OutputStreamSpliceFlags | flags = `OUTPUT_STREAM_SPLICE_NONE`,
|  | int | io_priority = `Glib::PRIORITY_DEFAULT`
| ) |  |

Splices a stream asynchronously.

When the operation is finished slot will be called. You can then call splice_finish() to get the result of the operation.

For the synchronous, blocking version of this function, see splice().

Parameters

  source | An InputStream.
  slot | Callback slot to call when the request is satisfied.
  cancellable | Cancellable object.
  flags | A set of OutputStreamSpliceFlags.
  io_priority | The io priority of the request.

void Gio::OutputStream::splice_async | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< InputStream >& | source,
|  | const SlotAsyncReady& | slot,
|  | OutputStreamSpliceFlags | flags = `OUTPUT_STREAM_SPLICE_NONE`,
|  | int | io_priority = `Glib::PRIORITY_DEFAULT`
| ) |  |

Splices a stream asynchronously.

When the operation is finished slot will be called. You can then call splice_finish() to get the result of the operation.

For the synchronous, blocking version of this function, see splice().

Parameters

  source | An InputStream.
  slot | Callback slot to call when the request is satisfied.
  flags | A set of OutputStreamSpliceFlags.
  io_priority | The io priority of the request.

gssize Gio::OutputStream::splice_finish | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< AsyncResult >& | result | ) |

Finishes an asynchronous stream splice operation.

Parameters

  result | A AsyncResult.

Returns
  A #gssize of the number of bytes spliced. Note that if the number of bytes spliced is greater than G_MAXSSIZE, then that will be returned, and there is no way to determine the actual number of bytes spliced.

Exceptions

  Glib::Error |

gssize Gio::OutputStream::write | ( | const void * | buffer,
|  | gsize | count,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable
| ) |  |

Tries to write count bytes from buffer into the stream.

Will block during the operation.

If count is zero returns zero and does nothing. A value of count larger than G_MAXSSIZE will cause a Gio::Error with INVALID_ARGUMENT to be thrown.

On success, the number of bytes written to the stream is returned. It is not an error if this is not the same as the requested size, as it can happen e.g. on a partial i/o error, or if there is not enough storage in the stream. All writes either block until at least one byte is written, so zero is never returned (unless count is zero).

The operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, a Gio::Error will be thrown with CANCELLED. If an operation was partially finished when the operation was cancelled the partial result will be returned, without an error.

Parameters

  buffer | The buffer containing the data to write.
  count | The number of bytes to write.
  cancellable | Cancellable object.

Returns
  Number of bytes written, or -1 on error.

Exceptions

  Glib::Error |

gssize Gio::OutputStream::write | ( | const void * | buffer,
|  | gsize | count
| ) |  |

A write() convenience overload.

gssize Gio::OutputStream::write | ( | const std::string & | buffer,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable
| ) |  |

Tries to write count bytes from buffer into the stream.

Will block during the operation.

If count is zero returns zero and does nothing. A value of count larger than MAXSSIZE will cause a Gio::Error with INVALID_ARGUMENT to be thrown.

On success, the number of bytes written to the stream is returned. It is not an error if this is not the same as the requested size, as it can happen e.g. on a partial i/o error, or if the there is not enough storage in the stream. All writes either block until at least one byte is written, so zero is never returned (unless count is zero).

On error -1 is returned.

Parameters

  buffer | The buffer containing the data to write.
  cancellable | Cancellable object.

Returns
  Number of bytes written, or -1 on error.

gssize Gio::OutputStream::write | ( | const std::string & | buffer | ) |

Tries to write count bytes from buffer into the stream.

Will block during the operation.

If string that is larger than MAXSSIZE bytes will cause a Gio::Error with INVALID_ARGUMENT to be thrown.

On success, the number of bytes written to the stream is returned. It is not an error if this is not the same as the requested size, as it can happen e.g. on a partial i/o error, or if the there is not enough storage in the stream. All writes either block until at least one byte is written, so zero is never returned (unless count is zero).

On error -1 is returned.

Parameters

  buffer | The buffer containing the data to write.

Returns
  Number of bytes written, or -1 on error.

bool Gio::OutputStream::write_all | ( | const void * | buffer,
|  | gsize | count,
|  | gsize & | bytes_written,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable
| ) |  |

Tries to write count bytes from buffer into the stream.

Will block during the operation.

This function is similar to g_output_stream_write(), except it tries to write as many bytes as requested, only stopping on an error.

On a successful write of count bytes, `true` is returned, and bytes_written is set to count.

If there is an error during the operation `false` is returned and error is set to indicate the error status.

As a special exception to the normal conventions for functions that use Error, if this function returns `false` (and sets error) then bytes_written will be set to the number of bytes that were successfully written before the error was encountered. This functionality is only available from C. If you need it from another language then you must write your own loop around g_output_stream_write().

Parameters

  buffer | The buffer containing the data to write.
  count | The number of bytes to write.
  bytes_written | Location to store the number of bytes that was written to the stream.
  cancellable | Optional Cancellable object, `nullptr` to ignore.

Returns
  `true` on success, `false` if there was an error.

Exceptions

  Glib::Error |

bool Gio::OutputStream::write_all | ( | const void * | buffer,
|  | gsize | count,
|  | gsize & | bytes_written
| ) |  |

A write_all() convenience overload.

bool Gio::OutputStream::write_all | ( | const std::string & | buffer,
|  | gsize & | bytes_written,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable
| ) |  |

Tries to write count bytes from buffer into the stream.

Will block during the operation.

This function is similar to write(), except it tries to write as many bytes as requested, only stopping on an error.

On a successful write of count bytes, `true` is returned, and bytes_written is set to count .

If there is an error during the operation `false` is returned and error is set to indicate the error status, bytes_written is updated to contain the number of bytes written into the stream before the error occured.

Parameters

  buffer | The buffer containing the data to write.
  bytes_written | Location to store the number of bytes that was written to the stream.
  cancellable | Cancellable object.

Returns
  `true` on success, `false` if there was an error.

bool Gio::OutputStream::write_all | ( | const std::string & | buffer,
|  | gsize & | bytes_written
| ) |  |

Tries to write count bytes from buffer into the stream.

Will block during the operation.

This function is similar to write(), except it tries to write as many bytes as requested, only stopping on an error.

On a successful write of count bytes, `true` is returned, and bytes_written is set to count .

If there is an error during the operation `false` is returned and error is set to indicate the error status, bytes_written is updated to contain the number of bytes written into the stream before the error occured.

Parameters

  buffer | The buffer containing the data to write.
  bytes_written | Location to store the number of bytes that was written to the stream.

Returns
  `true` on success, `false` if there was an error.

void Gio::OutputStream::write_all_async | ( | const void * | buffer,
|  | gsize | count,
|  | const SlotAsyncReady& | slot,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable,
|  | int | io_priority = `Glib::PRIORITY_DEFAULT`
| ) |  |

Request an asynchronous write of count bytes from buffer into the stream.

When the operation is finished slot will be called. You can then call write_all_finish() to get the result of the operation.

This is the asynchronous version of write_all().

During an async request no other sync and async calls are allowed, and will result in Gio::Error with PENDING being thrown.

A value of count larger than MAXSSIZE will cause a Gio::Error with INVALID_ARGUMENT to be thrown.

On success, the number of bytes written will be passed to the callback slot. It is not an error if this is not the same as the requested size, as it can happen e.g. on a partial I/O error, but generally we try to write as many bytes as requested.

Any outstanding I/O request with higher priority (lower numerical value) will be executed before an outstanding request with lower priority. Default priority is Glib::PRIORITY_DEFAULT.

The asyncronous methods have a default fallback that uses threads to implement asynchronicity, so they are optional for inheriting classes. However, if you override one you must override all.

For the synchronous, blocking version of this function, see write().

Note that no copy of buffer will be made, so it must stay valid until slot is called.

Parameters

  buffer | The buffer containing the data to write.
  count | The number of bytes to write
  slot | Callback slot to call when the request is satisfied.
  cancellable | Cancellable object.
  io_priority | The io priority of the request.

void Gio::OutputStream::write_all_async | ( | const void * | buffer,
|  | gsize | count,
|  | const SlotAsyncReady& | slot,
|  | int | io_priority = `Glib::PRIORITY_DEFAULT`
| ) |  |

Request an asynchronous write of count bytes from buffer into the stream.

When the operation is finished slot will be called. You can then call write_finish() to get the result of the operation.

This is the asynchronous version of write_all().

During an async request no other sync and async calls are allowed, and will result in Gio::Error with PENDING being thrown.

A value of count larger than MAXSSIZE will cause a Gio::Error with INVALID_ARGUMENT to be thrown.

On success, the number of bytes written will be passed to the callback slot. It is not an error if this is not the same as the requested size, as it can happen e.g. on a partial I/O error, but generally we try to write as many bytes as requested.

Any outstanding I/O request with higher priority (lower numerical value) will be executed before an outstanding request with lower priority. Default priority is Glib::PRIORITY_DEFAULT.

The asyncronous methods have a default fallback that uses threads to implement asynchronicity, so they are optional for inheriting classes. However, if you override one you must override all.

For the synchronous, blocking version of this function, see write().

Note that no copy of buffer will be made, so it must stay valid until slot is called.

Parameters

  buffer | The buffer containing the data to write.
  count | The number of bytes to write
  slot | Callback slot to call when the request is satisfied.
  io_priority | The io priority of the request.

bool Gio::OutputStream::write_all_finish | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< AsyncResult >& | result,
|  | gsize & | bytes_written
| ) |  |

Finishes an asynchronous stream write operation started with g_output_stream_write_all_async().

As a special exception to the normal conventions for functions that use Error, if this function returns `false` (and sets error) then bytes_written will be set to the number of bytes that were successfully written before the error was encountered. This functionality is only available from C. If you need it from another language then you must write your own loop around g_output_stream_write_async().

Since glibmm 2.44:

Parameters

  result | A AsyncResult.
  bytes_written | Location to store the number of bytes that was written to the stream.

Returns
  `true` on success, `false` if there was an error.

Exceptions

  Glib::Error |

gssize Gio::OutputStream::write_bytes | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< const Glib::Bytes >& | bytes,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable
| ) |  |

A wrapper function for g_output_stream_write() which takes a Bytes as input.

This can be more convenient for use by language bindings or in other cases where the refcounted nature of Bytes is helpful over a bare pointer interface.

However, note that this function may still perform partial writes, just like g_output_stream_write(). If that occurs, to continue writing, you will need to create a new Bytes containing just the remaining bytes, using Glib::bytes_new_from_bytes(). Passing the same Bytes instance multiple times potentially can result in duplicated data in the output stream.

Parameters

  bytes | The Bytes to write.
  cancellable | Optional cancellable object.

Returns
  Number of bytes written, or -1 on error.

Exceptions

  Glib::Error |

gssize Gio::OutputStream::write_bytes | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< const Glib::Bytes >& | bytes | ) |

A write_bytes() convenience overload.

void Gio::OutputStream::write_bytes_async | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< const Glib::Bytes >& | bytes,
|  | const SlotAsyncReady& | slot,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable,
|  | int | io_priority = `Glib::PRIORITY_DEFAULT`
| ) |  |

Request an asynchronous write of the data in bytes to the stream.

When the operation is finished slot will be called. You can then call write_bytes_finish() to get the result of the operation.

During an async request no other sync and async calls are allowed, and will result in Gio::Error with PENDING being thrown.

A Glib:Bytes larger than MAXSSIZE will cause a Gio::Error with INVALID_ARGUMENT to be thrown.

On success, the number of bytes written will be passed to the callback slot. It is not an error if this is not the same as the requested size, as it can happen e.g. on a partial I/O error, but generally we try to write as many bytes as requested.

You are guaranteed that this method will never fail with IO_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK - if the stream can't accept more data, the method will just wait until this changes.

Any outstanding I/O request with higher priority (lower numerical value) will be executed before an outstanding request with lower priority. Default priority is Glib::PRIORITY_DEFAULT.

For the synchronous, blocking version of this function, see write_bytes().

Parameters

  bytes | The bytes to
  slot | Callback slot to call when the request is satisfied.
  cancellable | Cancellable object.
  io_priority | The io priority of the request.
