g_buffered_input_stream_new_sized ()

GInputStream *
g_buffered_input_stream_new_sized (GInputStream *base_stream,
                                   gsize size);

g_buffered_input_stream_get_buffer_size ()

gsize
g_buffered_input_stream_get_buffer_size
                               (GBufferedInputStream *stream);

Gets the size of the input buffer.

g_buffered_input_stream_set_buffer_size ()

void
g_buffered_input_stream_set_buffer_size
                               (GBufferedInputStream *stream,
                                gsize size);

Sets the size of the internal buffer of stream to size , or to the size of the contents of the buffer. The buffer can never be resized smaller than its current contents.

g_buffered_input_stream_get_available ()

gsize
g_buffered_input_stream_get_available (GBufferedInputStream *stream);

Gets the size of the available data within the stream.

g_buffered_input_stream_peek_buffer ()

const void *
g_buffered_input_stream_peek_buffer (GBufferedInputStream *stream,
                                     gsize *count);

Returns the buffer with the currently available bytes. The returned buffer must not be modified and will become invalid when reading from the stream or filling the buffer.

g_buffered_input_stream_peek ()

gsize
g_buffered_input_stream_peek (GBufferedInputStream *stream,
                              void *buffer,
                              gsize offset,
                              gsize count);

Peeks in the buffer, copying data of size count into buffer , offset offset bytes.

g_buffered_input_stream_fill ()

gssize
g_buffered_input_stream_fill (GBufferedInputStream *stream,
                              gssize count,
                              GCancellable *cancellable,
                              GError **error);

Tries to read count bytes from the stream into the buffer. Will block during this read.

If count is zero, returns zero and does nothing. A value of count larger than G_MAXSSIZE will cause a G_IO_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT error.

On success, the number of bytes read into the buffer is returned. It is not an error if this is not the same as the requested size, as it can happen e.g. near the end of a file. Zero is returned on end of file (or if count is zero), but never otherwise.

If count is -1 then the attempted read size is equal to the number of bytes that are required to fill the buffer.

If cancellable is not NULL, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned. If an operation was partially finished when the operation was cancelled the partial result will be returned, without an error.

On error -1 is returned and error is set accordingly.

For the asynchronous, non-blocking, version of this function, see g_buffered_input_stream_fill_async().

g_buffered_input_stream_fill_async ()

void
g_buffered_input_stream_fill_async (GBufferedInputStream *stream,
                                    gssize count,
                                    int io_priority,
                                    GCancellable *cancellable,
                                    GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                                    gpointer user_data);

Reads data into stream 's buffer asynchronously, up to count size. io_priority can be used to prioritize reads. For the synchronous version of this function, see g_buffered_input_stream_fill().

If count is -1 then the attempted read size is equal to the number of bytes that are required to fill the buffer.

g_buffered_input_stream_fill_finish ()

gssize
g_buffered_input_stream_fill_finish (GBufferedInputStream *stream,
                                     GAsyncResult *result,
                                     GError **error);

Finishes an asynchronous read.

g_buffered_input_stream_read_byte ()

int
g_buffered_input_stream_read_byte (GBufferedInputStream *stream,
                                   GCancellable *cancellable,
                                   GError **error);

Tries to read a single byte from the stream or the buffer. Will block during this read.

On success, the byte read from the stream is returned. On end of stream -1 is returned but it's not an exceptional error and error is not set.

If cancellable is not NULL, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned. If an operation was partially finished when the operation was cancelled the partial result will be returned, without an error.

On error -1 is returned and error is set accordingly.
