<p>
GFileIOStream provides io streams that both read and write to the same
file handle.
</p>
<p>
GFileIOStream implements <a class="link" href="GSeekable.html" title="GSeekable"><span class="type">GSeekable</span></a>, which allows the io
stream to jump to arbitrary positions in the file and to truncate
the file, provided the filesystem of the file supports these
operations.
</p>
<p>
To find the position of a file io stream, use
<a class="link" href="GSeekable.html#g-seekable-tell" title="g_seekable_tell ()"><code class="function">g_seekable_tell()</code></a>.
</p>
<p>
To find out if a file io stream supports seeking, use <a class="link" href="GSeekable.html#g-seekable-can-seek" title="g_seekable_can_seek ()"><code class="function">g_seekable_can_seek()</code></a>.
To position a file io stream, use <a class="link" href="GSeekable.html#g-seekable-seek" title="g_seekable_seek ()"><code class="function">g_seekable_seek()</code></a>.
To find out if a file io stream supports truncating, use
<a class="link" href="GSeekable.html#g-seekable-can-truncate" title="g_seekable_can_truncate ()"><code class="function">g_seekable_can_truncate()</code></a>. To truncate a file io
stream, use <a class="link" href="GSeekable.html#g-seekable-truncate" title="g_seekable_truncate ()"><code class="function">g_seekable_truncate()</code></a>.
</p>
<p>
The default implementation of all the <a class="link" href="GFileIOStream.html" title="GFileIOStream"><span class="type">GFileIOStream</span></a> operations
and the implementation of <a class="link" href="GSeekable.html" title="GSeekable"><span class="type">GSeekable</span></a> just call into the same operations
on the output stream.

<p>
Queries a file io stream for the given <em class="parameter"><code>attributes</code></em>.
This function blocks while querying the stream. For the asynchronous
version of this function, see <a class="link" href="GFileIOStream.html#g-file-io-stream-query-info-async" title="g_file_io_stream_query_info_async ()"><code class="function">g_file_io_stream_query_info_async()</code></a>.
While the stream is blocked, the stream will set the pending flag
internally, and any other operations on the stream will fail with
<a class="link" href="gio-GIOError.html#G-IO-ERROR-PENDING:CAPS"><code class="literal">G_IO_ERROR_PENDING</code></a>.
</p>
<p>
Can fail if the stream was already closed (with <em class="parameter"><code>error</code></em> being set to
<a class="link" href="gio-GIOError.html#G-IO-ERROR-CLOSED:CAPS"><code class="literal">G_IO_ERROR_CLOSED</code></a>), the stream has pending operations (with <em class="parameter"><code>error</code></em> being
set to <a class="link" href="gio-GIOError.html#G-IO-ERROR-PENDING:CAPS"><code class="literal">G_IO_ERROR_PENDING</code></a>), or if querying info is not supported for
the stream's interface (with <em class="parameter"><code>error</code></em> being set to <a class="link" href="gio-GIOError.html#G-IO-ERROR-NOT-SUPPORTED:CAPS"><code class="literal">G_IO_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED</code></a>). I
all cases of failure, <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/glib/glib-Standard-Macros.html#NULL:CAPS"><code class="literal">NULL</code></a> will be returned.
</p>
<p>
If <em class="parameter"><code>cancellable</code></em> is not <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/glib/glib-Standard-Macros.html#NULL:CAPS"><code class="literal">NULL</code></a>, then the operation can be cancelled by
triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation
was cancelled, the error <a class="link" href="gio-GIOError.html#G-IO-ERROR-CANCELLED:CAPS"><code class="literal">G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED</code></a> will be set, and <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/glib/glib-Standard-Macros.html#NULL:CAPS"><code class="literal">NULL</code></a> will
be returned.
