MappedFile

The glib.MappedFile represents a file mapping created with MappedFile.new. It has only private members and should not be accessed directly.

class MappedFile {

GMappedFile* gMappedFile;

protected

bool ownedRef;

GMappedFile* getMappedFileStruct(bool transferOwnership);

void* getStruct();

this(GMappedFile* gMappedFile, bool ownedRef);

this(string filename, bool writable);

this(int fd, bool writable);

Bytes getBytes();

string getContents();

size_t getLength();

MappedFile ref_();

void unref();

}

Constructors

this this(GMappedFile* gMappedFile, bool ownedRef): Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class.
this this(string filename, bool writable): Maps a file into memory. On UNIX, this is using the mmap() function.
this this(int fd, bool writable): Maps a file into memory. On UNIX, this is using the mmap() function.

Destructor

A destructor is present on this object, but not explicitly documented in the source.

Functions

free void free(): This call existed before glib.MappedFile had refcounting and is currently exactly the same as MappedFile.unref.
getBytes Bytes getBytes(): Creates a new glib.Bytes which references the data mapped from file. The mapped contents of the file must not be modified after creating this bytes object, because a glib.Bytes should be immutable.
getContents string getContents(): Returns the contents of a glib.MappedFile
getLength size_t getLength(): Returns the length of the contents of a glib.MappedFile
getMappedFileStruct GMappedFile* getMappedFileStruct(bool transferOwnership): Get the main Gtk struct
getStruct void* getStruct(): the main Gtk struct as a void*
ref_ MappedFile ref_(): Increments the reference count of file by one. It is safe to call this function from any thread.
unref void unref(): Decrements the reference count of file by one. If the reference count drops to 0, unmaps the buffer of file and frees it.
