gio.unix.OutputStream Properties

"close-fd"	Read - Write	Whether to close the file descriptor when the stream is closed. Default value: `True`.
"fd"	Read - Write - Construct only	The file descriptor that the stream writes to. Default value: -1.

Description

gio.unix.OutputStream implements gio.OutputStream for writing to a UNIX file descriptor, including asynchronous operations. The file descriptor must be selectable, so it doesn't work with opened files.

Note that gio.unix.OutputStream belongs to the UNIX-specific GIO interfaces, thus you have to use the gio-unix-2.0.pc pkg-config file when using it.

Constructor

    gio.unix.OutputStream(fd, close_fd)

`fd` :	a UNIX file descriptor.
`close_fd` :	`True` to close the file descriptor when done
Returns :	a new `gio.unix.OutputStream`

Creates a new gio.unix.OutputStream from the given fd.

If close_fd is True, the file descriptor will be closed when the stream is closed.

Methods

gio.unix.OutputStream.get_close_fd

    def get_close_fd()

Returns :

True if the file descriptor is closed when done.

The get_close_fd() method returns whether the file descriptor of stream will be closed when the stream is closed.

gio.unix.OutputStream.get_fd

    def get_fd()

Returns :

The file descriptor of stream.

The get_fd() method return the UNIX file descriptor that the stream reads from.

gio.unix.OutputStream.set_close_fd

    def set_close_fd(close_fd)

close_fd :

True to close the file descriptor when done .

The set_close_fd() method sets whether the file descriptor of stream shall be closed when the stream is closed.
