Class Details¶

class Gio.FileIOStream(**kwargs)¶

Bases:	`Gio.IOStream`, `Gio.Seekable`
Abstract:	No
Structure:	`Gio.FileIOStreamClass`

Gio.FileIOStream provides io streams that both read and write to the same file handle.

Gio.FileIOStream implements Gio.Seekable, which allows the io stream to jump to arbitrary positions in the file and to truncate the file, provided the filesystem of the file supports these operations.

To find the position of a file io stream, use Gio.Seekable.tell().

To find out if a file io stream supports seeking, use Gio.Seekable.can_seek(). To position a file io stream, use Gio.Seekable.seek(). To find out if a file io stream supports truncating, use Gio.Seekable.can_truncate(). To truncate a file io stream, use Gio.Seekable.truncate().

The default implementation of all the Gio.FileIOStream operations and the implementation of Gio.Seekable just call into the same operations on the output stream.

New in version 2.22.

get_etag()[source]¶

Returns:	the entity tag for the stream.
Return type:	`str`

Gets the entity tag for the file when it has been written. This must be called after the stream has been written and closed, as the etag can change while writing.

New in version 2.22.

query_info(attributes, cancellable)[source]¶

Parameters:	attributes (`str`) – a file attribute query string. cancellable (`Gio.Cancellable` or `None`) – optional `Gio.Cancellable` object, `None` to ignore.
Raises:	`GLib.Error`
Returns:	a `Gio.FileInfo` for the self, or `None` on error.
Return type:	`Gio.FileInfo`

Queries a file io stream for the given attributes. This function blocks while querying the stream. For the asynchronous version of this function, see Gio.FileIOStream.query_info_async(). While the stream is blocked, the stream will set the pending flag internally, and any other operations on the stream will fail with Gio.IOErrorEnum.PENDING.

Can fail if the stream was already closed (with error being set to Gio.IOErrorEnum.CLOSED), the stream has pending operations (with error being set to Gio.IOErrorEnum.PENDING), or if querying info is not supported for the stream’s interface (with error being set to Gio.IOErrorEnum.NOT_SUPPORTED). I all cases of failure, None will be returned.

If cancellable is not None, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error Gio.IOErrorEnum.CANCELLED will be set, and None will be returned.

New in version 2.22.

query_info_async(attributes, io_priority, cancellable, callback, *user_data)[source]¶

Parameters:

attributes (str) – a file attribute query string.
io_priority (int) – the I/O priority of the request
cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) – optional Gio.Cancellable object, None to ignore.
callback (Gio.AsyncReadyCallback or None) – callback to call when the request is satisfied
user_data (object or None) – the data to pass to callback function

Asynchronously queries the self for a Gio.FileInfo. When completed, callback will be called with a Gio.AsyncResult which can be used to finish the operation with Gio.FileIOStream.query_info_finish().

For the synchronous version of this function, see Gio.FileIOStream.query_info().

New in version 2.22.

query_info_finish(result)[source]¶

Parameters:	result (`Gio.AsyncResult`) – a `Gio.AsyncResult`.
Raises:	`GLib.Error`
Returns:	A `Gio.FileInfo` for the finished query.
Return type:	`Gio.FileInfo`

Finalizes the asynchronous query started by Gio.FileIOStream.query_info_async().

New in version 2.22.

do_can_seek() virtual¶

Return type:	`bool`

do_can_truncate() virtual¶

Return type:	`bool`

do_get_etag() virtual¶

Returns:	the entity tag for the stream.
Return type:	`str`

Gets the entity tag for the file when it has been written. This must be called after the stream has been written and closed, as the etag can change while writing.

New in version 2.22.

do_query_info(attributes, cancellable) virtual¶

Parameters:	attributes (`str`) – a file attribute query string. cancellable (`Gio.Cancellable` or `None`) – optional `Gio.Cancellable` object, `None` to ignore.
Returns:	a `Gio.FileInfo` for the stream, or `None` on error.
Return type:	`Gio.FileInfo`

Queries a file io stream for the given attributes. This function blocks while querying the stream. For the asynchronous version of this function, see Gio.FileIOStream.query_info_async(). While the stream is blocked, the stream will set the pending flag internally, and any other operations on the stream will fail with Gio.IOErrorEnum.PENDING.

Can fail if the stream was already closed (with error being set to Gio.IOErrorEnum.CLOSED), the stream has pending operations (with error being set to Gio.IOErrorEnum.PENDING), or if querying info is not supported for the stream’s interface (with error being set to Gio.IOErrorEnum.NOT_SUPPORTED). I all cases of failure, None will be returned.

If cancellable is not None, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error Gio.IOErrorEnum.CANCELLED will be set, and None will be returned.

New in version 2.22.

do_query_info_async(attributes, io_priority, cancellable, callback, *user_data) virtual¶

Parameters:

attributes (str) – a file attribute query string.
io_priority (int) – the I/O priority of the request
cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) – optional Gio.Cancellable object, None to ignore.
callback (Gio.AsyncReadyCallback or None) – callback to call when the request is satisfied
user_data (object or None) – the data to pass to callback function

Asynchronously queries the stream for a Gio.FileInfo. When completed, callback will be called with a Gio.AsyncResult which can be used to finish the operation with Gio.FileIOStream.query_info_finish().

For the synchronous version of this function, see Gio.FileIOStream.query_info().

New in version 2.22.

do_query_info_finish(result) virtual¶

Parameters:	result (`Gio.AsyncResult`) – a `Gio.AsyncResult`.
Returns:	A `Gio.FileInfo` for the finished query.
Return type:	`Gio.FileInfo`

Finalizes the asynchronous query started by Gio.FileIOStream.query_info_async().

New in version 2.22.

do_seek(offset, type, cancellable) virtual¶

Parameters:	offset (`int`) – type (`GLib.SeekType`) – cancellable (`Gio.Cancellable` or `None`) –
Return type:	`bool`

do_tell() virtual¶

Return type:	`int`

do_truncate_fn(size, cancellable) virtual¶

Parameters:	size (`int`) – cancellable (`Gio.Cancellable` or `None`) –
Return type:	`bool`
