gssize g_input_stream_read (GInputStream *stream, void *buffer, gsize count, GCancellable *cancellable, GError **error);
Tries to read count
bytes from the stream into the buffer starting at
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 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.

gboolean g_input_stream_read_all (GInputStream *stream, void *buffer, gsize count, gsize *bytes_read, GCancellable *cancellable, GError **error);
Tries to read count
bytes from the stream into the buffer starting at
buffer
. Will block during this read.
This function is similar to g_input_stream_read()
, except it tries to
read as many bytes as requested, only stopping on an error or end of stream.
On a successful read of count
bytes, or if we reached the end of the
stream, TRUE is returned, and bytes_read
is set to the number of bytes
read into buffer
.
If there is an error during the operation FALSE is returned and error
is set to indicate the error status, bytes_read
is updated to contain
the number of bytes read into buffer
before the error occured.

gssize g_input_stream_skip (GInputStream *stream, gsize count, GCancellable *cancellable, GError **error);
Tries to skip count
bytes from the stream. Will block during the operation.
This is identical to g_input_stream_read()
, from a behaviour standpoint,
but the bytes that are skipped are not returned to the user. Some
streams have an implementation that is more efficient than reading the data.
This function is optional for inherited classes, as the default implementation emulates it using read.
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.

gboolean g_input_stream_close (GInputStream *stream, GCancellable *cancellable, GError **error);
Closes the stream, releasing resources related to it.
Once the stream is closed, all other operations will return G_IO_ERROR_CLOSED
.
Closing a stream multiple times will not return an error.
Streams will be automatically closed when the last reference is dropped, but you might want to call 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 return G_IO_ERROR_CLOSED
all operations. Still, it
is important to check and report the error to the user.
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.
Cancelling a close will still leave the stream closed, but some streams
can use a faster close that doesn't block to e.g. check errors.

void g_input_stream_read_async (GInputStream *stream, void *buffer, gsize count, int io_priority, GCancellable *cancellable, GAsyncReadyCallback callback, gpointer user_data);
Request an asynchronous read of count
bytes from the stream into the buffer
starting at buffer
. When the operation is finished callback
will be called,
giving the results.
During an async request no other sync and async calls are allowed, and will
result in G_IO_ERROR_PENDING
errors.
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 will be passed to the
callback. 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, but generally we try to read
as many bytes as requested. Zero is returned on end of file
(or if count
is zero), but never otherwise.
Any outstanding i/o request with higher priority (lower numerical value) will
be executed before an outstanding request with lower priority. Default
priority is G_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.
