RE: File IO???

[martyn 2 russell bt com]

This is what I do when I create a log file to write to:

 

  filename = g_strdup_printf("mylog.log");

  channel = g_io_channel_new_file(filename,"a+",NULL);

 

  if(channel == NULL)
    {
      g_error("failed to create new file:'%s'",filename);
      return FALSE;
    }

 

  /* start top of log */
  message = g_strdup_printf("Log started on %s at %s\n\n", datestamp(), timestamp());

 

  g_io_channel_write_chars(channel,
                           message,
                           -1,
                           &bytes,
                           NULL);

 

  /* clean up */
  g_free(message);

and when I go to clean up the channel and close the file, I use:

  /* close file */
  g_io_channel_shutdown(channel,TRUE,NULL);

Regards,

Martyn

Hi there,

 

Thanks very much Martyn. Yeah I've had a look at it but the "file descriptor" that is passed into the g_io_channel_unix_new kinda confuses me. Also the g_io_channel_new_file returns a GIOChannel, although hadn't I already created one using the g_io_channel_unix_new??? I'm totally lost on it all :(...

 

Thanks

Uni

Have you looked at GLib IOChannels?

http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/glib/glib-IO-Channels.html

Hi,

 

I'm interesting in something on File input/output with GTK+. Could anybody please point me in the direction of a tutorial or possibly give me a rough guide, as I only seem to be able to pull up the "Hello World" tutorials or the API references...

 

Thanks very much!
