Class Details¶

class Gdk.ContentSerializer(**kwargs)¶

Bases:: GObject.Object, Gio.AsyncResult
Abstract:: No

A GdkContentSerializer is used to serialize content for inter-application data transfers.

The GdkContentSerializer transforms an object that is identified by a GObject.GType into a serialized form (i.e. a byte stream) that is identified by a mime type.

GTK provides serializers and deserializers for common data types such as text, colors, images or file lists. To register your own serialization functions, use [func`Gdk`.content_register_serializer].

Also see [class`Gdk`.ContentDeserializer].

get_cancellable()[source]¶

Returns:: the cancellable for the current operation
Return type:: Gio.Cancellable or None

Gets the cancellable for the current operation.

This is the GCancellable that was passed to [func`content_serialize_async`].

get_gtype()[source]¶

Returns:: the GType for the current operation
Return type:: GObject.GType

Gets the GType to of the object to serialize.

get_mime_type()[source]¶

Returns:: the mime type for the current operation
Return type:: str

Gets the mime type to serialize to.

get_output_stream()[source]¶

Returns:: the output stream for the current operation
Return type:: Gio.OutputStream

Gets the output stream for the current operation.

This is the stream that was passed to [func`content_serialize_async`].

get_priority()[source]¶

Returns:: the I/O priority for the current operation
Return type:: int

Gets the I/O priority for the current operation.

This is the priority that was passed to [func`content_serialize_async`].

get_task_data()[source]¶

Returns:: the task data for self
Return type:: object or None

Gets the data that was associated with the current operation.

See [method`Gdk`.ContentSerializer.set_task_data].

get_user_data()[source]¶

Returns:: the user data for this serializer
Return type:: object or None

Gets the user data that was passed when the serializer was registered.

get_value()[source]¶

Returns:: the GValue for the current operation
Return type:: GObject.Value

Gets the GValue to read the object to serialize from.

return_error(error)[source]¶

Parameters:: error (GLib.Error) – a GError

Indicate that the serialization has ended with an error.

This function consumes error.

return_success()[source]¶: Indicate that the serialization has been successfully completed.

set_task_data(data, notify)[source]¶

Parameters:

data (object or None) – data to associate with this operation
notify (GLib.DestroyNotify) – destroy notify for data

Associate data with the current serialization operation.
