Method

IdeLineReadernext

Declaration

gchar*
ide_line_reader_next (
  IdeLineReader* reader,
  gsize* length
)

Description

Moves forward to the beginning of the next line in the buffer. No changes to the buffer are made, and the result is a pointer within the string passed as contents in ide_line_reader_init(). Since the line most likely will not be terminated with a NULL byte, you must provide length to determine the length of the line.

Parameters

length

Type: gsize*

A location for the length of the line in bytes.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.

Return value

Type: gchar*

The beginning of the line within the buffer.

The data is owned by the instance.

The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
