ide_unix_fd_map_create_stream (
  IdeUnixFDMap* self,
  int dest_read_fd,
  int dest_write_fd,
  GError** error
)

Description

Creates a GIOStream to communicate with another process.

Use this to create a GIOStream to use from the calling process to communicate with a subprocess. Generally, you should pass STDIN_FILENO for dest_read_fd and STDOUT_FILENO for dest_write_fd.

Parameters

dest_read_fd

Type: int

The FD number in the destination process for the read side (stdin)

dest_write_fd

Type: int

The FD number in the destinatino process for the write side (stdout)

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: GIOStream

A GIOStream if successful; otherwise NULL and error is set.

The caller of the method takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
