IOChannel.getFlags

Gets the current flags for a #GIOChannel, including read-only flags such as G_IO_FLAG_IS_READABLE.

The values of the flags G_IO_FLAG_IS_READABLE and G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE are cached for internal use by the channel when it is created. If they should change at some later point (e.g. partial shutdown of a socket with the UNIX shutdown() function), the user should immediately call [glib.iochannel.IOChannel.getFlags] to update the internal values of these flags.
