Implemented Interfaces

GBufferedOutputStream implements GSeekable.

Includes

#include <gio/gio.h>

Description

Buffered output stream implements GFilterOutputStream and provides for buffered writes.

By default, GBufferedOutputStream's buffer size is set at 4 kilobytes.

To create a buffered output stream, use g_buffered_output_stream_new(), or g_buffered_output_stream_new_sized() to specify the buffer's size at construction.

To get the size of a buffer within a buffered input stream, use g_buffered_output_stream_get_buffer_size(). To change the size of a buffered output stream's buffer, use g_buffered_output_stream_set_buffer_size(). Note that the buffer's size cannot be reduced below the size of the data within the buffer.

Functions

g_buffered_output_stream_new ()

GOutputStream *
g_buffered_output_stream_new (GOutputStream *base_stream);

Creates a new buffered output stream for a base stream.

Parameters

base_stream

a GOutputStream.

 

Returns

a GOutputStream for the given base_stream .


g_buffered_output_stream_new_sized ()

GOutputStream *
g_buffered_output_stream_new_sized (GOutputStream *base_stream,
                                    gsize size);

Creates a new buffered output stream with a given buffer size.

Parameters

base_stream

a GOutputStream.

 

size

a gsize.

 

Returns

a GOutputStream with an internal buffer set to size .


g_buffered_output_stream_get_buffer_size ()

gsize
g_buffered_output_stream_get_buffer_size
                               (GBufferedOutputStream *stream);

Gets the size of the buffer in the stream .

Parameters

stream

a GBufferedOutputStream.

 

Returns

the current size of the buffer.


g_buffered_output_stream_set_buffer_size ()

void
g_buffered_output_stream_set_buffer_size
                               (GBufferedOutputStream *stream,
                                gsize size);

Sets the size of the internal buffer to size .

Parameters

stream

a GBufferedOutputStream.

 

size

a gsize.

 

g_buffered_output_stream_get_auto_grow ()

gboolean
g_buffered_output_stream_get_auto_grow
                               (GBufferedOutputStream *stream);

Checks if the buffer automatically grows as data is added.

Parameters

stream

a GBufferedOutputStream.

 

Returns

TRUE if the stream 's buffer automatically grows, FALSE otherwise.


g_buffered_output_stream_set_auto_grow ()

void
g_buffered_output_stream_set_auto_grow
                               (GBufferedOutputStream *stream,
                                gboolean auto_grow);

Sets whether or not the stream 's buffer should automatically grow. If auto_grow is true, then each write will just make the buffer larger, and you must manually flush the buffer to actually write out the data to the underlying stream.

Parameters

stream

a GBufferedOutputStream.

 

auto_grow

a gboolean.
