Description

A GtkSourceFileSaver object permits to save a GtkSourceBuffer into a GFile.

A file saver should be used only for one save operation, including errors handling. If an error occurs, you can reconfigure the saver and relaunch the operation with gtk_source_file_saver_save_async().

This class is no longer maintained, patches are not accepted. There is a better implementation in the Tepl library.

Functions

gtk_source_file_saver_new ()

GtkSourceFileSaver *
gtk_source_file_saver_new (GtkSourceBuffer *buffer,
                           GtkSourceFile *file);

Creates a new GtkSourceFileSaver object. The buffer will be saved to the GtkSourceFile's location.

This constructor is suitable for a simple "save" operation, when the file already contains a non-NULL “location”.

Parameters

buffer

the GtkSourceBuffer to save.

 

file

the GtkSourceFile.

 

Returns

a new GtkSourceFileSaver object.

Since: 3.14


gtk_source_file_saver_new_with_target ()

GtkSourceFileSaver *
gtk_source_file_saver_new_with_target (GtkSourceBuffer *buffer,
                                       GtkSourceFile *file,
                                       GFile *target_location);

Creates a new GtkSourceFileSaver object with a target location. When the file saving is finished successfully, target_location is set to the file 's “location” property. If an error occurs, the previous valid location is still available in GtkSourceFile.

This constructor is suitable for a "save as" operation, or for saving a new buffer for the first time.

Parameters

buffer

the GtkSourceBuffer to save.

 

file

the GtkSourceFile.

 

target_location

the GFile where to save the buffer to.

 

Returns

a new GtkSourceFileSaver object.
