gFileLoadContents {RGtk2} | R Documentation

## gFileLoadContents

### Description

Loads the content of the file into memory. The data is always zero-terminated, but this is not included in the resultant `length`.

### Usage

    gFileLoadContents(object, cancellable = NULL, .errwarn = TRUE)

### Arguments

``object`` | input `GFile`.
``cancellable`` | optional `GCancellable` object, `NULL` to ignore.
`.errwarn` | Whether to issue a warning on error or fail silently

### Details

If `cancellable` is not `NULL`, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error `G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED` will be returned.

### Value

A list containing the following elements:

`retval` | [logical] `TRUE` if the `file`'s contents were successfully loaded. `FALSE` if there were errors.
``contents`` | a location to place the contents of the file.
``length`` | a location to place the length of the contents of the file, or `NULL` if the length is not needed
``etag.out`` | a location to place the current entity tag for the file, or `NULL` if the entity tag is not needed
``error`` | a `GError`, or `NULL`
