Class Details

class Gio.UnixOutputStream(**kwargs)

Bases:

Abstract:

No

Structure:

Gio.UnixOutputStreamClass

Gio.UnixOutputStream implements Gio.OutputStream for writing to a UNIX file descriptor, including asynchronous operations. (If the file descriptor refers to a socket or pipe, this will use poll() to do asynchronous I/O. If it refers to a regular file, it will fall back to doing asynchronous I/O in another thread.)

Note that <gio/gunixoutputstream.h> belongs to the UNIX-specific GIO interfaces, thus you have to use the gio-unix-2.0.pc pkg-config file when using it.

classmethod new(fd, close_fd)

Parameters:

• fd (int) – a UNIX file descriptor

• close_fd (bool) – True to close the file descriptor when done

Returns:

a new Gio.OutputStream

Return type:

Gio.OutputStream

Creates a new Gio.UnixOutputStream for the given fd.

If close_fd, is True, the file descriptor will be closed when the output stream is destroyed.

get_close_fd()

Returns:

True if the file descriptor is closed when done

Return type:

bool

Returns whether the file descriptor of self will be closed when the stream is closed.

New in version 2.20.

get_fd()

Returns:

The file descriptor of self

Return type:

int

Return the UNIX file descriptor that the stream writes to.

New in version 2.20.

set_close_fd(close_fd)

Parameters:

close_fd (bool) – True to close the file descriptor when done

Sets whether the file descriptor of self shall be closed when the stream is closed.

New in version 2.20.
