writeBytes

open fun writeBytes(bytes: <Error class: unknown class>, cancellable: Cancellable? = null): <Error class: unknown class><Long>

A wrapper function for g_output_stream_write() which takes a #GBytes as input. This can be more convenient for use by language bindings or in other cases where the refcounted nature of #GBytes is helpful over a bare pointer interface.

However, note that this function may still perform partial writes, just like g_output_stream_write(). If that occurs, to continue writing, you will need to create a new #GBytes containing just the remaining bytes, using g_bytes_new_from_bytes(). Passing the same #GBytes instance multiple times potentially can result in duplicated data in the output stream.

Return

Number of bytes written, or -1 on error

Parameters

bytes

the #GBytes to write

cancellable

optional cancellable object
