Returns
  An unsigned 32-bit/4-byte value read from the stream or %0 if an error occurred.

guint32 Gio::DataInputStream::read_uint32 | ( |  | ) |

A read_uint32() convenience overload.

guint64 Gio::DataInputStream::read_uint64 | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable | ) |

Reads an unsigned 64-bit/8-byte value from stream.

In order to get the correct byte order for this read operation, see Glib::data_stream_get_byte_order().

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
  An unsigned 64-bit/8-byte read from stream or %0 if an error occurred.

guint64 Gio::DataInputStream::read_uint64 | ( |  | ) |

A read_uint64() convenience overload.

bool Gio::DataInputStream::read_until | ( | std::string & | data,
|  | const std::string & | stop_chars,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable
| ) |  |

Reads a string from the data input stream, up to the first occurrence of any of the stop characters.

Note that, in contrast to read_until_async(), this function consumes the stop character that it finds.

Don't use this function in new code. Its functionality is inconsistent with read_until_async(). Both functions will be marked as deprecated in a future release. Use read_upto() instead, but note that that method does not consume the stop character.

Parameters

  data | A string to fill with the read data.
  stop_chars | Characters to terminate the read.
  cancellable | A cancellable object.

Returns
  true if the read succeeded without error.

bool Gio::DataInputStream::read_until | ( | std::string & | data,
|  | const std::string & | stop_chars
| ) |  |

A non-cancellable version of read_until().

Note that, in contrast to read_until_async(), this function consumes the stop character that it finds.

Don't use this function in new code. Its functionality is inconsistent with read_until_async(). Both functions will be marked as deprecated in a future release. Use read_upto() instead, but note that that method does not consume the stop character.

Parameters

  data | A string to fill with the read data.
  stop_chars | Characters to terminate the read.

Returns
  true if the read succeeded without error.

void Gio::DataInputStream::read_until_async | ( | const std::string & | stop_chars,
|  | const SlotAsyncReady& | slot,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable,
|  | int | io_priority = `Glib::PRIORITY_DEFAULT`
| ) |  |

The asynchronous version of read_until().

It is an error to have two outstanding calls to this function.

Note that, in contrast to ead_until(), this function does not consume the stop character that it finds. You must read it for yourself.

Don't use this function in new code. Its functionality is inconsistent with read_until(). Both functions will be marked as deprecated in a future release. Use read_upto_async() instead.

Parameters

  stop_chars | Characters to terminate the read.
  slot | The slot to call when the request is satisfied.
  cancellable | A cancellable object.
  io_priority | The I/O priority of the request.

Returns
  true if the read succeeded without error.

bool Gio::DataInputStream::read_until_finish | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< AsyncResult >& | result,
|  | std::string & | data
| ) |  |

Finish an asynchronous call started by read_until_async().

Parameters

  result | The AsyncResult that was provided to the callback slot.
  data | A string to fill with the read data.

Returns
  true if the read succeeded without error.

bool Gio::DataInputStream::read_upto | ( | std::string & | data,
|  | const std::string & | stop_chars,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable
| ) |  |

Reads a string from the data input stream, up to the first occurrence of any of the stop characters.

In contrast to read_until(), this method does not consume the stop character. You have to use read_byte() to get it before calling read_upto() again.

Parameters

  data | A string to fill with the read data.
  stop_chars | Characters to terminate the read.
  cancellable | A cancellable object.

Returns
  true if the read succeeded without error.

bool Gio::DataInputStream::read_upto | ( | std::string & | data,
|  | const std::string & | stop_chars
| ) |  |

A non-cancellable version of read_upto().

Parameters

  data | A string to fill with the read data.
  stop_chars | Characters to terminate the read.

Returns
  true if the read succeeded without error.

void Gio::DataInputStream::read_upto_async | ( | const std::string & | stop_chars,
|  | const SlotAsyncReady& | slot,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable,
|  | int | io_priority = `Glib::PRIORITY_DEFAULT`
| ) |  |

The asynchronous version of read_upto().

It is an error to have two outstanding calls to this function.

In contrast to read_until(), this method does not consume the stop character. You have to use read_byte() to get it before calling read_upto() again.

Parameters

  stop_chars | Characters to terminate the read.
  slot | The slot to call when the request is satisfied.
  cancellable | A cancellable object.
  io_priority | The I/O priority of the request.

Returns
  true if the read succeeded without error.

bool Gio::DataInputStream::read_upto_finish | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< AsyncResult >& | result,
|  | std::string & | data
| ) |  |

Finish an asynchronous call started by read_upto_async().

Note that this function does not consume the stop character. You have to use read_byte() to get it before calling read_upto_async() again.

Parameters

  result | The AsyncResult that was provided to the callback slot.
  data | A string to fill with the read data.

Returns
  true if the read succeeded without error.

void Gio::DataInputStream::set_byte_order | ( | DataStreamByteOrder | order | ) |

This function sets the byte order for the given stream.

All subsequent reads from the stream will be read in the given order.

Parameters

  order | A DataStreamByteOrder to set.

void Gio::DataInputStream::set_newline_type | ( | DataStreamNewlineType | type | ) |

Sets the newline type for the stream.

Note that using G_DATA_STREAM_NEWLINE_TYPE_ANY is slightly unsafe. If a read chunk ends in "CR" we must read an additional byte to know if this is "CR" or "CR LF", and this might block if there is no more data available.

Parameters

  type | The type of new line return as DataStreamNewlineType.
