ide_buffer_manager_create_temporary_buffer ()

IdeBuffer *
ide_buffer_manager_create_temporary_buffer
                               (IdeBufferManager *self);

Creates a new IdeBuffer that does not yet have a backing file attached to it. Interfaces should perform a save-as operation to save the file to a real file.

ide_file_get_file() will return NULL to denote this type of buffer.

ide_buffer_manager_load_file_async ()

void
ide_buffer_manager_load_file_async (IdeBufferManager *self,
                                    IdeFile *file,
                                    gboolean force_reload,
                                    IdeProgress **progress,
                                    GCancellable *cancellable,

                                    gpointer user_data);

Asynchronously requests that the file represented by file is loaded. If the file is already loaded, the previously loaded version of the file will be returned, asynchronously.

Before loading the file, IdeBufferManager will check the file size to help protect itself from the user accidentally loading very large files. You can change the maximum size of file that will be loaded with the “max-file-size” property.

See ide_buffer_manager_load_file_finish() for how to complete this asynchronous request.

ide_buffer_manager_load_file_finish ()

IdeBuffer *

                                     GError **error);

Completes an asynchronous request to load a file via ide_buffer_manager_load_file_async(). If the buffer was already loaded, this function will return a reference to the previous buffer with it's reference count incremented by one.

ide_buffer_manager_save_file_async ()

void
ide_buffer_manager_save_file_async (IdeBufferManager *self,

                                    IdeFile *file,
                                    IdeProgress **progress,
                                    GCancellable *cancellable,
                                    GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                                    gpointer user_data);

This function asynchronously requests that a buffer be saved to the storage represented by file . buffer should be a previously loaded buffer owned by self , such as one loaded with ide_buffer_manager_load_file_async().

Call ide_buffer_manager_save_file_finish() to complete this asynchronous request.

ide_buffer_manager_save_file_finish ()

gboolean
ide_buffer_manager_save_file_finish (IdeBufferManager *self,
                                     GAsyncResult *result,
                                     GError **error);

This function completes an asynchronous request to save a buffer to storage using ide_buffer_manager_save_file_async(). Upon failure, FALSE is returned and error is set.
