BufferedOutputStream

class BufferedOutputStream(**properties: Any)

Superclasses: FilterOutputStream, OutputStream, Object

Implemented Interfaces: Seekable

Buffered output stream implements FilterOutputStream and provides for buffered writes.

By default, GBufferedOutputStream’s buffer size is set at 4 kilobytes.

To create a buffered output stream, use new, or new_sized to specify the buffer’s size at construction.

To get the size of a buffer within a buffered input stream, use get_buffer_size. To change the size of a buffered output stream’s buffer, use set_buffer_size. Note that the buffer’s size cannot be reduced below the size of the data within the buffer.

Constructors

class BufferedOutputStream

classmethod new(base_stream: OutputStream) → OutputStream

Creates a new buffered output stream for a base stream.

Parameters:

base_stream – a OutputStream.

classmethod new_sized(base_stream: OutputStream, size: int) → OutputStream

Creates a new buffered output stream with a given buffer size.

Parameters:

• base_stream – a OutputStream.

• size – a gsize.

Methods

class BufferedOutputStream

get_auto_grow() → bool

Checks if the buffer automatically grows as data is added.

get_buffer_size() → int

Gets the size of the buffer in the stream.

set_auto_grow(auto_grow: bool) → None

Sets whether or not the stream’s buffer should automatically grow. If auto_grow is true, then each write will just make the buffer larger, and you must manually flush the buffer to actually write out the data to the underlying stream.

Parameters:

auto_grow – a gboolean.

set_buffer_size(size: int) → None

Sets the size of the internal buffer to size.

Parameters:

size – a gsize.

Properties
