gOutputStreamWriteAsync {RGtk2} | R Documentation

## gOutputStreamWriteAsync

### Description

Request an asynchronous write of `count` bytes from `buffer` into the stream. When the operation is finished `callback` will be called. You can then call `gOutputStreamWriteFinish` to get the result of the operation.

### Usage

    gOutputStreamWriteAsync(object, buffer, io.priority = 0, cancellable = NULL,
        callback, user.data = NULL)

### Arguments

``object`` | A `GOutputStream`.
``buffer`` | the buffer containing the data to write.
``io.priority`` | the io priority of the request.
``cancellable`` | optional `GCancellable` object, `NULL` to ignore.
``callback`` | callback to call when the request is satisfied
``user.data`` | the data to pass to callback function

### Details

During an async request no other sync and async calls are allowed, and will result in `G_IO_ERROR_PENDING` errors.

A value of `count` larger than `G_MAXSSIZE` will cause a `G_IO_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT` error.

On success, the number of bytes written will be passed to the `callback`. It is not an error if this is not the same as the requested size, as it can happen e.g. on a partial I/O error, but generally we try to write as many bytes as requested.

Any outstanding I/O request with higher priority (lower numerical value) will be executed before an outstanding request with lower priority. Default priority is `G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT`.

The asyncronous methods have a default fallback that uses threads to implement asynchronicity, so they are optional for inheriting classes. However, if you override one you must override all.

For the synchronous, blocking version of this function, see `gOutputStreamWrite`.
