gdkPixbufNewFromStream: gdkPixbufNewFromStream

Description

Creates a new pixbuf by loading an image from an input stream.

Usage

gdkPixbufNewFromStream(stream, cancellable = NULL, .errwarn = TRUE)

Arguments

stream
a GInputStream to load the pixbuf from
cancellable
optional GCancellable object, NULL to ignore
.errwarn
Whether to issue a warning on error or fail silently

Value

A list containing the following elements:
retval
[GdkPixbuf] A newly-created pixbuf, or NULL if any of several error conditions occurred: the file could not be opened, the image format is not supported, there was not enough memory to allocate the image buffer, the stream contained invalid data, or the operation was cancelled.
error
Return location for an error

Details

The file format is detected automatically. If NULL is returned, then error will be set. The cancellable can be used to abort the operation from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error GIO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned. Other possible errors are in the GDK_PIXBUF_ERROR and G_IO_ERROR domains. The stream is not closed. Since 2.14
