GioUnix.OutputStream
Description: Reference for GioUnix.OutputStream

### Class

# GioUnixOutputStream

#### Description [src]

    class GioUnix.OutputStream : Gio.OutputStream
      implements Gio.PollableOutputStream, GioUnix.FileDescriptorBased {
      /* No available fields */
    }

`GUnixOutputStream` implements `GOutputStream` for writing to a UNIX file descriptor, including asynchronous operations. (If the file descriptor refers to a socket or pipe, this will use `poll()` to do asynchronous I/O. If it refers to a regular file, it will fall back to doing asynchronous I/O in another thread.)

Note that `<gio/gunixoutputstream.h>` belongs to the UNIX-specific GIO interfaces, thus you have to use the `gio-unix-2.0.pc` pkg-config file file or the `GioUnix-2.0` GIR namespace when using it.

#### Ancestors

- GOutputStream

#### Implements

- GPollableOutputStream
- GFileDescriptorBased

#### Constructors

###### g_unix_output_stream_new

Creates a new `GUnixOutputStream` for the given `fd`.

#### Functions

###### g_unix_output_stream_get_close_fd

Returns whether the file descriptor of `stream` will be closed when the stream is closed.

since: 2.20

###### g_unix_output_stream_get_fd

Return the UNIX file descriptor that the stream writes to.

since: 2.20

###### g_unix_output_stream_set_close_fd

Sets whether the file descriptor of `stream` shall be closed when the stream is closed.

since: 2.20

Please see GOutputStream for a full list of methods.

##### Methods inherited from GObject (43)

Please see GObject for a full list of methods.

##### Methods inherited from GPollableOutputStream (5)

###### g_pollable_output_stream_can_poll

Checks if `stream` is actually pollable. Some classes may implement `GPollableOutputStream` but have only certain instances of that class be pollable. If this method returns `FALSE`, then the behavior of other `GPollableOutputStream` methods is undefined.

###### g_pollable_output_stream_create_source

Creates a `GSource` that triggers when `stream` can be written, or `cancellable` is triggered or an error occurs. The callback on the source is of the `GPollableSourceFunc` type.

###### g_pollable_output_stream_is_writable

Checks if `stream` can be written.

###### g_pollable_output_stream_write_nonblocking

Attempts to write up to `count` bytes from `buffer` to `stream`, as with g_output_stream_write(). If `stream` is not currently writable, this will immediately return `G_IO_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK`, and you can use `g_pollable_output_stream_create_source()` to create a `GSource` that will be triggered when `stream` is writable.

###### g_pollable_output_stream_writev_nonblocking

Attempts to write the bytes contained in the `n_vectors` `vectors` to `stream`, as with g_output_stream_writev(). If `stream` is not currently writable, this will immediately return %`G_POLLABLE_RETURN_WOULD_BLOCK`, and you can use `g_pollable_output_stream_create_source()` to create a `GSource` that will be triggered when `stream` is writable. `error` will not be set in that case.

#### Properties

###### GioUnix.OutputStream:close-fd

Whether to close the file descriptor when the stream is closed.

since: 2.20

###### GioUnix.OutputStream:fd

The file descriptor that the stream writes to.

since: 2.20

#### Signals

##### Signals inherited from GObject (1)

###### GObject::notify

The notify signal is emitted on an object when one of its properties has its value set through g_object_set_property(), g_object_set(), et al.
