Methods

busGet

busGet Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsCancellable a) 
=> BusType

busType: a BusType

-> Maybe a

cancellable: a Cancellable or Nothing

-> Maybe AsyncReadyCallback

callback: a AsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied

-> m () 

Asynchronously connects to the message bus specified by busType.

When the operation is finished, callback will be invoked. You can then call busGetFinish to get the result of the operation.

This is a asynchronous failable function. See busGetSync for the synchronous version.

Since: 2.26

busGetFinish

busGetFinish Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsAsyncResult a) 
=> a

res: a AsyncResult obtained from the AsyncReadyCallback passed to busGet

-> m DBusConnection

Returns: a DBusConnection or Nothing if error is set. Free with objectUnref. (Can throw GError)

Finishes an operation started with busGet.

The returned object is a singleton, that is, shared with other callers of busGet and busGetSync for busType. In the event that you need a private message bus connection, use dbusAddressGetForBusSync and dBusConnectionNewForAddress.

Note that the returned DBusConnection object will (usually) have the DBusConnection:exit-on-close property set to True.

Since: 2.26

busGetSync

busGetSync Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsCancellable a) 
=> BusType

busType: a BusType

-> Maybe a

cancellable: a Cancellable or Nothing

-> m DBusConnection

Returns: a DBusConnection or Nothing if error is set. Free with objectUnref. (Can throw GError)

Synchronously connects to the message bus specified by busType. Note that the returned object may shared with other callers, e.g. if two separate parts of a process calls this function with the same busType, they will share the same object.

This is a synchronous failable function. See busGet and busGetFinish for the asynchronous version.

The returned object is a singleton, that is, shared with other callers of busGet and busGetSync for busType. In the event that you need a private message bus connection, use dbusAddressGetForBusSync and dBusConnectionNewForAddress.

Note that the returned DBusConnection object will (usually) have the DBusConnection:exit-on-close property set to True.

Since: 2.26

=> Text

type: a content type string

-> Text

supertype: a content type string

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> Text

type: a content type string

-> m Bool

Returns: True if the type is the unknown type.

Checks if the content type is the generic "unknown" type. On UNIX this is the "application/octet-stream" mimetype, while on win32 it is "*" and on OSX it is a dynamic type or octet-stream.

contentTypeSetMimeDirs

contentTypeSetMimeDirs Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> Maybe [Text]

dirs: Nothing-terminated list of directories to load MIME data from, including any mime/ subdirectory, and with the first directory to try listed first

-> m () 

Set the list of directories used by GIO to load the MIME database. If dirs is Nothing, the directories used are the default:

  • the mime subdirectory of the directory in $XDG_DATA_HOME
  • the mime subdirectory of every directory in $XDG_DATA_DIRS

This function is intended to be used when writing tests that depend on information stored in the MIME database, in order to control the data.

Typically, in case your tests use TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS, but they depend on the system’s MIME database, you should call this function with dirs set to Nothing before calling g_test_init(), for instance:

C code

 // Load MIME data from the system
 g_content_type_set_mime_dirs (NULL);
 // Isolate the environment
 g_test_init (&argc, &argv, G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS, NULL);

 …

 return g_test_run ();

dbusAddressEscapeValue Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> Text

string: an unescaped string to be included in a D-Bus address as the value in a key-value pair

-> m Text

Returns: a copy of string with all non-optionally-escaped bytes escaped

Escape string so it can appear in a D-Bus address as the value part of a key-value pair.

For instance, if string is /run/bus-for-:0, this function would return /run/bus-for-%3A0, which could be used in a D-Bus address like unix:nonce-tcp:host=127.0.0.1,port=42,noncefile=/run/bus-for-%3A0.

Since: 2.36

dbusAddressGetForBusSync

dbusAddressGetForBusSync Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsCancellable a) 
=> Text

address: A valid D-Bus address.

-> Maybe a

cancellable: A Cancellable or Nothing.

-> Maybe AsyncReadyCallback

callback: A AsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied.

-> m () 

Asynchronously connects to an endpoint specified by address and sets up the connection so it is in a state to run the client-side of the D-Bus authentication conversation. address must be in the D-Bus address format.

When the operation is finished, callback will be invoked. You can then call dbusAddressGetStreamFinish to get the result of the operation.

This is an asynchronous failable function. See dbusAddressGetStreamSync for the synchronous version.

Since: 2.26

dbusAddressGetStreamFinish

dbusAddressGetStreamFinish Source #

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsAsyncResult a) 
=> a

res: A AsyncResult obtained from the GAsyncReadyCallback passed to dbusAddressGetStream.

-> m (IOStream, Text)

Returns: A IOStream or Nothing if error is set. (Can throw GError)

Finishes an operation started with dbusAddressGetStream.

Since: 2.26

dbusAddressGetStreamSync

dbusAddressGetStreamSync Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsCancellable a) 
=> Text

address: A valid D-Bus address.

-> Maybe a

cancellable: A Cancellable or Nothing.

-> m (IOStream, Text)

Returns: A IOStream or Nothing if error is set. (Can throw GError)

Synchronously connects to an endpoint specified by address and sets up the connection so it is in a state to run the client-side of the D-Bus authentication conversation. address must be in the D-Bus address format.

This is a synchronous failable function. See dbusAddressGetStream for the asynchronous version.

Since: 2.26

dbusGenerateGuid

dbusGenerateGuid Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> m Text

Returns: A valid D-Bus GUID. Free with free.

Generate a D-Bus GUID that can be used with e.g. dBusConnectionNew.

See the D-Bus specification regarding what strings are valid D-Bus GUID (for example, D-Bus GUIDs are not RFC-4122 compliant).

Since: 2.26

dbusGvalueToGvariant

dbusGvalueToGvariant Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> GValue

gvalue: A Value to convert to a GVariant

-> VariantType

type: A VariantType

-> m GVariant

Returns: A GVariant (never floating) of VariantType type holding the data from gvalue or Nothing in case of failure. Free with variantUnref.

Converts a Value to a GVariant of the type indicated by the type parameter.

The conversion is using the following rules:

  • G_TYPE_STRING: 's', 'o', 'g' or 'ay'
  • G_TYPE_STRV: 'as', 'ao' or 'aay'
  • G_TYPE_BOOLEAN: 'b'
  • G_TYPE_UCHAR: 'y'
  • G_TYPE_INT: 'i', 'n'
  • G_TYPE_UINT: 'u', 'q'
  • G_TYPE_INT64 'x'
  • G_TYPE_UINT64: 't'
  • G_TYPE_DOUBLE: 'd'
  • G_TYPE_VARIANT: Any VariantType

This can fail if e.g. gvalue is of type G_TYPE_STRING and type is ['i'][G-VARIANT-TYPE-INT32:CAPS]. It will also fail for any GType (including e.g. G_TYPE_OBJECT and G_TYPE_BOXED derived-types) not in the table above.

Note that if gvalue is of type G_TYPE_VARIANT and its value is Nothing, the empty GVariant instance (never Nothing) for type is returned (e.g. 0 for scalar types, the empty string for string types, '/' for object path types, the empty array for any array type and so on).

See the dbusGvariantToGvalue function for how to convert a GVariant to a Value.

Since: 2.30

dbusGvariantToGvalue

dbusGvariantToGvalue Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> GVariant

value: A GVariant.

-> m GValue 

Converts a GVariant to a Value. If value is floating, it is consumed.

The rules specified in the dbusGvalueToGvariant function are used - this function is essentially its reverse form. So, a GVariant containing any basic or string array type will be converted to a Value containing a basic value or string array. Any other GVariant (handle, variant, tuple, dict entry) will be converted to a Value containing that GVariant.

The conversion never fails - a valid Value is always returned in outGvalue.

Since: 2.30

dbusIsAddress

dbusIsAddress Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> Text

string: A string.

-> m Bool

Returns: True if string is a valid D-Bus address, False otherwise.

Checks if string is a D-Bus address.

dbusIsGuid Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> Text

string: The string to check.

-> m Bool

Returns: True if string is a guid, False otherwise.

dbusIsSupportedAddress Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> Text

string: A string.

-> m ()

(Can throw GError)

dbusIsUniqueName Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m)

=> Int32

errNo: Error number as defined in errno.h.

-> m IOErrorEnum

Returns: IOErrorEnum value for the given errno.h error number.

Converts errno.h error codes into GIO error codes. The fallback value IOErrorEnumFailed is returned for error codes not currently handled (but note that future GLib releases may return a more specific value instead).

As errno is global and may be modified by intermediate function calls, you should save its value as soon as the call which sets it

ioErrorQuark

ioErrorQuark Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> m Word32

Returns: a GQuark.

Gets the GIO Error Quark.

ioModulesScanAllInDirectory

ioModulesScanAllInDirectory Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> [Char]

dirname: pathname for a directory containing modules to scan.

-> m () 

Scans all the modules in the specified directory, ensuring that any extension point implemented by a module is registered.

This may not actually load and initialize all the types in each module, some modules may be lazily loaded and initialized when an extension point it implementes is used with e.g. iOExtensionPointGetExtensions or iOExtensionPointGetExtensionByName.

If you need to guarantee that all types are loaded in all the modules, use g_io_modules_load_all_in_directory().

Since: 2.24

ioModulesScanAllInDirectoryWithScope

ioModulesScanAllInDirectoryWithScope Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> [Char]

dirname: pathname for a directory containing modules to scan.

-> IOModuleScope

scope: a scope to use when scanning the modules

-> m () 

Scans all the modules in the specified directory, ensuring that any extension point implemented by a module is registered.

This may not actually load and initialize all the types in each module, some modules may be lazily loaded and initialized when an extension point it implementes is used with e.g. iOExtensionPointGetExtensions or iOExtensionPointGetExtensionByName.

If you need to guarantee that all types are loaded in all the modules, use g_io_modules_load_all_in_directory().

Since: 2.30

ioSchedulerCancelAllJobs

ioSchedulerCancelAllJobs :: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) => m () Source #

Deprecated: You should never call this function, since you don'tknow how other libraries in your program might be making use ofgioscheduler.

Cancels all cancellable I/O jobs.

A job is cancellable if a Cancellable was passed into ioSchedulerPushJob.

ioSchedulerPushJob

ioSchedulerPushJob Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsCancellable a) 
=> IOSchedulerJobFunc

jobFunc: a IOSchedulerJobFunc.

-> Int32

ioPriority: the [I/O priority][io-priority] of the request.

-> Maybe a

cancellable: optional Cancellable object, Nothing to ignore.

-> m () 

Deprecated: use ThreadPool or g_task_run_in_thread()

Schedules the I/O job to run in another thread.

notify will be called on userData after jobFunc has returned, regardless whether the job was cancelled or has run to completion.

If cancellable is not Nothing, it can be used to cancel the I/O job by calling cancellableCancel or by calling ioSchedulerCancelAllJobs.

keyfileSettingsBackendNew

keyfileSettingsBackendNew Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> Text

filename: the filename of the keyfile

-> Text

rootPath: the path under which all settings keys appear

-> Maybe Text

rootGroup: the group name corresponding to rootPath, or Nothing

-> m SettingsBackend

Returns: a keyfile-backed SettingsBackend

Creates a keyfile-backed SettingsBackend.

The filename of the keyfile to use is given by filename.

All settings read to or written from the backend must fall under the path given in rootPath (which must start and end with a slash and not contain two consecutive slashes). rootPath may be "/".

If rootGroup is non-Nothing then it specifies the name of the keyfile group used for keys that are written directly below rootPath. For example, if rootPath is "/apps/example/" and rootGroup is "toplevel", then settings the key "/apps/example/enabled" to a value of True will cause the following to appear in the keyfile:

 [toplevel]
 enabled=true

If rootGroup is Nothing then it is not permitted to store keys directly below the rootPath.

For keys not stored directly below rootPath (ie: in a sub-path), the name of the subpath (with the final slash stripped) is used as the name of the keyfile group. To continue the example, if "/apps/example/profiles/default/font-size" were set to 12 then the following would appear in the keyfile:

 [profiles/default]
 font-size=12

The backend will refuse writes (and return writability as being False) for keys outside of rootPath and, in the event that rootGroup is Nothing, also for keys directly under rootPath. Writes will also be refused if the backend detects that it has the inability to rewrite the keyfile (ie: the containing directory is not writable).

There is no checking done for your key namespace clashing with the syntax of the key file format. For example, if you have '[' or ']' characters in your path names or '=' in your key names you may be in trouble.

The backend reads default values from a keyfile called defaults in the directory specified by the GKeyfileSettingsBackend:defaults-dir property, and a list of locked keys from a text file with the name locks in the same location.

memorySettingsBackendNew

memorySettingsBackendNew Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> m SettingsBackend

Returns: a newly created SettingsBackend

Creates a memory-backed SettingsBackend.

This backend allows changes to settings, but does not write them to any backing storage, so the next time you run your application, the memory backend will start out with the default values again.

Since: 2.28

networkingInit

networkingInit :: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) => m () Source #

Initializes the platform networking libraries (eg, on Windows, this calls WSAStartup()). GLib will call this itself if it is needed, so you only need to call it if you directly call system networking functions (without calling any GLib networking functions first).

Since: 2.36

nullSettingsBackendNew

nullSettingsBackendNew Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> m SettingsBackend

Returns: a newly created SettingsBackend

Creates a readonly SettingsBackend.

This backend does not allow changes to settings, so all settings will always have their default values.

Since: 2.28

pollableSourceNew

pollableSourceNew Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsObject a) 
=> a

pollableStream: the stream associated with the new source

-> m Source

Returns: the new Source.

Utility method for PollableInputStream and PollableOutputStream implementations. Creates a new Source that expects a callback of type PollableSourceFunc. The new source does not actually do anything on its own; use sourceAddChildSource to add other sources to it to cause it to trigger.

Since: 2.28

pollableSourceNewFull

pollableSourceNewFull Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsObject a, IsCancellable b) 
=> a

pollableStream: the stream associated with the new source

-> Maybe Source

childSource: optional child source to attach

-> Maybe b

cancellable: optional Cancellable to attach

-> m Source

Returns: the new Source.

Utility method for PollableInputStream and PollableOutputStream implementations. Creates a new Source, as with pollableSourceNew, but also attaching childSource (with a dummy callback), and cancellable, if they are non-Nothing.

Since: 2.34

pollableStreamRead

pollableStreamRead Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsInputStream a, IsCancellable b) 
=> a

stream: a InputStream

-> ByteString

buffer: a buffer to read data into

-> Bool

blocking: whether to do blocking I/O

-> Maybe b

cancellable: optional Cancellable object, Nothing to ignore.

-> m Int64

Returns: the number of bytes read, or -1 on error. (Can throw GError)

Tries to read from stream, as with inputStreamRead (if blocking is True) or pollableInputStreamReadNonblocking (if blocking is False). This can be used to more easily share code between blocking and non-blocking implementations of a method.

If blocking is False, then stream must be a PollableInputStream for which pollableInputStreamCanPoll returns True, or else the behavior is undefined. If blocking is True, then stream does not need to be a PollableInputStream.

Since: 2.34

pollableStreamWrite

pollableStreamWrite Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsOutputStream a, IsCancellable b) 
=> a

stream: a OutputStream.

-> ByteString

buffer: the buffer containing the data to write.

-> Bool

blocking: whether to do blocking I/O

-> Maybe b

cancellable: optional Cancellable object, Nothing to ignore.

-> m Int64

Returns: the number of bytes written, or -1 on error. (Can throw GError)

Tries to write to stream, as with outputStreamWrite (if blocking is True) or pollableOutputStreamWriteNonblocking (if blocking is False). This can be used to more easily share code between blocking and non-blocking implementations of a method.

If blocking is False, then stream must be a PollableOutputStream for which pollableOutputStreamCanPoll returns True or else the behavior is undefined. If blocking is True, then stream does not need to be a PollableOutputStream.

Since: 2.34

pollableStreamWriteAll

pollableStreamWriteAll Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsOutputStream a, IsCancellable b) 
=> a

stream: a OutputStream.

-> ByteString

buffer: the buffer containing the data to write.

-> Bool

blocking: whether to do blocking I/O

-> Maybe b

cancellable: optional Cancellable object, Nothing to ignore.

-> m Word64

(Can throw GError)

Tries to write count bytes to stream, as with outputStreamWriteAll, but using pollableStreamWrite rather than outputStreamWrite.

On a successful write of count bytes, True is returned, and bytesWritten is set to count.

If there is an error during the operation (including IOErrorEnumWouldBlock in the non-blocking case), False is returned and error is set to indicate the error status, bytesWritten is updated to contain the number of bytes written into the stream before the error occurred.

As with pollableStreamWrite, if blocking is False, then stream must be a PollableOutputStream for which pollableOutputStreamCanPoll returns True or else the behavior is undefined. If blocking is True, then stream does not need to be a PollableOutputStream.

=> Text

path: A pathname inside the resource

-> [ResourceLookupFlags]

lookupFlags: A ResourceLookupFlags

-> m [Text]

Returns: an array of constant strings (Can throw GError)

Returns all the names of children at the specified path in the set of globally registered resources. The return result is a Nothing terminated list of strings which should be released with strfreev.

resourcesGetInfo Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> Text

path: A pathname inside the resource

resourcesLookupData

resourcesLookupData Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> Text

path: A pathname inside the resource

-> [ResourceLookupFlags]

lookupFlags: A ResourceLookupFlags

-> m Bytes

Returns: Bytes or Nothing on error. Free the returned object with bytesUnref (Can throw GError)

Looks for a file at the specified path in the set of globally registered resources and returns a Bytes that lets you directly access the data in memory.

The data is always followed by a zero byte, so you can safely use the data as a C string. However, that byte is not included in the size of the GBytes.

For uncompressed resource files this is a pointer directly into the resource bundle, which is typically in some readonly data section in the program binary. For compressed files we allocate memory on the heap and automatically uncompress the data.

lookupFlags controls the behaviour of the lookup.
