## Detailed Description

UnixInputStream implements InputStream for reading from a unix file descriptor, including asynchronous operations.

The file descriptor must be selectable, so it doesn't work with opened files.

Since glibmm 2.16:

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Gio::UnixInputStream::~UnixInputStream | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Gio::UnixInputStream::UnixInputStream | ( | int | fd,
|  | bool | close_fd_at_close |
| ) |  |  | `[explicit, protected]`

## Member Function Documentation

static Glib::RefPtr<UnixInputStream> Gio::UnixInputStream::create | ( | int | fd,
|  | bool | close_fd_at_close |
| ) |  |  | `[static]`

bool Gio::UnixInputStream::get_close_fd | ( |  | ) | const

Return value: `true` if the file descriptor is closed when done.

Returns:
  `true` if the file descriptor is closed when done

Since glibmm 2.20:

int Gio::UnixInputStream::get_fd | ( |  | ) | const

Return the UNIX file descriptor that the stream reads from.

Returns:
  The file descriptor of stream

Since glibmm 2.20:

const GUnixInputStream* Gio::UnixInputStream::gobj | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

Reimplemented from Gio::InputStream.

GUnixInputStream* Gio::UnixInputStream::gobj | ( |  | ) | `[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

Reimplemented from Gio::InputStream.

GUnixInputStream* Gio::UnixInputStream::gobj_copy | ( |  | ) |

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

Reimplemented from Gio::InputStream.

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly<bool> Gio::UnixInputStream::property_close_fd | ( |  | ) | const

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

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
  A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Glib::PropertyProxy<bool> Gio::UnixInputStream::property_close_fd | ( |  | ) |

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

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
  A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly<int> Gio::UnixInputStream::property_fd | ( |  | ) | const

The file descriptor to read from.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
  A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

void Gio::UnixInputStream::set_close_fd | ( | bool | close_fd = `true` | ) |

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

Since glibmm 2.20:

Parameters:

  | close_fd | `true` to close the file descriptor when done.

## Friends And Related Function Documentation

Glib::RefPtr< Gio::UnixInputStream > wrap | ( | GUnixInputStream * | object,
|  | bool | take_copy = `false` |
| ) |  |  | `[related]`

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters:

  | object | The C instance.
  | take_copy | False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.

Returns:
  A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
