fileGetContents
fn
bool fileGetContents(string filename, out ubyte[] contents)Reads an entire file into allocated memory, with good error checking.
If the call was successful, it returns true and sets contents to the file contents and length to the length of the file contents in bytes. The string stored in contents will be nul-terminated, so for text files you can pass null for the length argument. If the call was not successful, it returns false and sets error. The error domain is G_FILE_ERROR. Possible error codes are those in the #GFileError enumeration. In the error case, contents is set to null and length is set to zero.
Parameters
filename | name of a file to read contents from, in the GLib file name encoding |
contents | location to store an allocated string, use [glib.global.gfree] to free the returned string |
Returns
true on success, false if an error occurred
Throws
[ErrorWrap]
