Exported types

newtype ByteArray Source #

Memory-managed wrapper type.

Constructors

ByteArray (ManagedPtr ByteArray)

Instances

BoxedObject ByteArray Source #
Instance details Defined in GI.GLib.Structs.ByteArray Methods boxedType :: ByteArray -> IO GType #
tag ~ AttrSet => Constructible ByteArray tag Source #
Instance details Defined in GI.GLib.Structs.ByteArray Methods new :: MonadIO m => (ManagedPtr ByteArray -> ByteArray) -> [AttrOp ByteArray tag] -> m ByteArray #

newZeroByteArray :: MonadIO m => m ByteArray Source #

Construct a ByteArray struct initialized to zero.

noByteArray :: Maybe ByteArray Source #

A convenience alias for Nothing :: Maybe ByteArray.

Methods

free

byteArrayFree Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m)
=> ByteString	`array`: a `ByteArray`
-> Bool	`freeSegment`: if `True` the actual byte data is freed as well
-> m Word8	Returns: the element data if `freeSegment` is `False`, otherwise `Nothing`. The element data should be freed using `free`.

Frees the memory allocated by the ByteArray. If freeSegment is True it frees the actual byte data. If the reference count of array is greater than one, the ByteArray wrapper is preserved but the size of array will be set to zero.

freeToBytes

byteArrayFreeToBytes Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m)
=> ByteString	`array`: a `ByteArray`
-> m Bytes	Returns: a new immutable `Bytes` representing same byte data that was in the array

Transfers the data from the ByteArray into a new immutable Bytes.

The ByteArray is freed unless the reference count of array is greater than one, the ByteArray wrapper is preserved but the size of array will be set to zero.

This is identical to using bytesNewTake and byteArrayFree together.

Since: 2.32

new

byteArrayNew Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m)
=> m ByteString	Returns: the new `ByteArray`

Creates a new ByteArray with a reference count of 1.

newTake

byteArrayNewTake Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m)
=> ByteString	`data`: byte data for the array
-> m ByteString	Returns: a new `ByteArray`

Create byte array containing the data. The data will be owned by the array and will be freed with free, i.e. it could be allocated using strdup.

Since: 2.32

unref

byteArrayUnref Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m)
=> ByteString	`array`: A `ByteArray`
-> m ()

Atomically decrements the reference count of array by one. If the reference count drops to 0, all memory allocated by the array is released. This function is thread-safe and may be called from any thread.

Since: 2.22

Properties

data

a pointer to the element data. The data may be moved as elements are added to the ByteArray

getByteArrayData :: MonadIO m => ByteArray -> m Word8 Source #

Get the value of the “data” field. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

get byteArray #data

setByteArrayData :: MonadIO m => ByteArray -> Word8 -> m () Source #

Set the value of the “data” field. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

set byteArray [ #data := value ]

len

the number of elements in the ByteArray

getByteArrayLen :: MonadIO m => ByteArray -> m Word32 Source #

Get the value of the “len” field. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

get byteArray #len

setByteArrayLen :: MonadIO m => ByteArray -> Word32 -> m () Source #

Set the value of the “len” field. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

set byteArray [ #len := value ]
