File.create

Creates a new file and returns an output stream for writing to it. The file must not already exist.

By default files created are generally readable by everyone, but if you pass [gio.types.FileCreateFlags.Private] in flags the file will be made readable only to the current user, to the level that is supported on the target filesystem.

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 [gio.types.IOErrorEnum.Cancelled] will be returned.

If a file or directory with this name already exists the [gio.types.IOErrorEnum.Exists] error will be returned. Some file systems don't allow all file names, and may return an [gio.types.IOErrorEnum.InvalidFilename] error, and if the name is to long [gio.types.IOErrorEnum.FilenameTooLong] will be returned. Other errors are possible too, and depend on what kind of filesystem the file is on.

cancellableoptional #GCancellable object, null to ignore

Returns

a #GFileOutputStream for the newly created

file, or null on error. Free the returned object with [gobject.object.ObjectWrap.unref].
