Method

CamelMimeParserread

Declaration [src]

gssize
camel_mime_parser_read (
  CamelMimeParser* parser,
  const gchar** databuffer,
  gssize len,
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

Read at most len bytes from the internal mime parser buffer.

Returns the address of the internal buffer in databuffer, and the length of useful data.

len may be specified as G_MAXSSIZE, in which case you will get the full remainder of the buffer at each call.

Note that no parsing of the data read through this function occurs, so no state changes occur, but the seek position is updated appropriately.

Parameters

databuffer

Type: An array of guint8

The data buffer.

The argument will be set by the function.
The caller of the method takes ownership of the returned data, and is responsible for freeing it.
len

Type: gssize

The length of data to read.

error

Type: GError **

The return location for a recoverable error.

The argument can be NULL.
If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to a NULL GError*.
The argument will be left initialized to NULL by the method if there are no errors.
In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

Return value

Type: gssize

The number of bytes available, or -1 on error.
