I need to open a file to read the contents and display its contents on the screen. This should be done using GIO file handling. I am going through the tutorial but as a practice, I need the code using GIO for the following c code. In c the program could be:
#include<stdio.h> #include<string.h> int main() { FILE *fp; char temp[1000]; if(fp=fopen("locations.txt", "r") != NULL) { fgets(temp, 1000, fp); printf("%s", temp[1000]); } fclose(fp); return 0; } thanks in advance.
This is a rough approximation of the exact behavior you currently have. It could be improved with error messages, reading a line at a time, etc.
#include <gio/gio.h> int main(void) { g_autoptr(GFile) file = g_file_new_for_path("locations.txt"); g_autoptr(GFileInputStream) in = g_file_read(file, NULL, NULL); if(!in) return 1; gssize read; char temp[1000]; while (TRUE) { read = g_input_stream_read(G_INPUT_STREAM(in), temp, G_N_ELEMENTS(temp) - 1, NULL, NULL); if (read > 0) { temp[read] = '\0'; g_print("%s", temp); } else if (read < 0) return 1; else break; } return 0; } 
g_autoptr() stuff but you have to call g_object_unref() manually then.The answer to my question:
#include <gtk/gtk.h> int main(void) { GFile *file = g_file_new_for_path("FINAL_SERVER_URLS.txt"); GFileInputStream *in = g_file_read(file, NULL, NULL); if(!in) return 1; gssize read; gchar temp[1000]; while (TRUE) { read = g_input_stream_read(G_INPUT_STREAM(in), temp, G_N_ELEMENTS(temp) - 1, NULL, NULL); if (read > 0) { temp[read] = '\0'; g_print("%s", temp); } else if (read < 0) return 1; else break; } //g_free(temp); g_object_unref(file); g_object_unref(in); return 0; }
