FileT.loadContents

Loads the content of the file into memory. The data is always zero-terminated, but this is not included in the resultant length. The returned contents should be freed with g_free() when no longer needed.

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.
