Functions

Link copied to clipboard
fun free()

This call existed before #GMappedFile had refcounting and is currently exactly the same as g_mapped_file_unref().

Link copied to clipboard
fun getBytes(): Bytes

Creates a new #GBytes which references the data mapped from @file. The mapped contents of the file must not be modified after creating this bytes object, because a #GBytes should be immutable.

Link copied to clipboard
fun getContents(): String

Returns the contents of a #GMappedFile.

Link copied to clipboard
fun getLength(): <Error class: unknown class>

Returns the length of the contents of a #GMappedFile.

Link copied to clipboard
fun ref(): MappedFile

Increments the reference count of @file by one. It is safe to call this function from any thread.

Link copied to clipboard
fun unref()

Decrements the reference count of @file by one. If the reference count drops to 0, unmaps the buffer of @file and frees it.
