gFileReplaceContentsAsync {RGtk2} | R Documentation

## gFileReplaceContentsAsync

### Description

Starts an asynchronous replacement of `file` with the given `contents` of `length` bytes. `etag` will replace the document's current entity tag.

### Usage

    gFileReplaceContentsAsync(object, contents, length, etag, make.backup,
        flags = "G_FILE_CREATE_NONE", cancellable = NULL, callback,
        user.data = NULL)

### Arguments

``object`` | input `GFile`.
``contents`` | string of contents to replace the file with.
``length`` | the length of `contents` in bytes.
``etag`` | a new entity tag for the `file`, or `NULL`
``make.backup`` | `TRUE` if a backup should be created.
``flags`` | a set of `GFileCreateFlags`.
``cancellable`` | optional `GCancellable` object, `NULL` to ignore.
``callback`` | a `GAsyncReadyCallback` to call when the request is satisfied
``user.data`` | the data to pass to callback function

### Details

When this operation has completed, `callback` will be called with `user.user` data, and the operation can be finalized with `gFileReplaceContentsFinish`.

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.

If `make.backup` is `TRUE`, this function will attempt to make a backup of `file`.
