<p>
GFileInputStream provides input streams that take their
content from a file.
</p>
<p>
GFileInputStream implements <a class="link" href="GSeekable.html" title="GSeekable"><span class="type">GSeekable</span></a>, which allows the input
stream to jump to arbitrary positions in the file, provided the
filesystem of the file allows it. To find the position of a file
input stream, use <a class="link" href="GSeekable.html#g-seekable-tell" title="g_seekable_tell ()"><code class="function">g_seekable_tell()</code></a>. To find out if a file input
stream supports seeking, use <code class="function">g_seekable_stream_can_seek()</code>.
To position a file input stream, use <a class="link" href="GSeekable.html#g-seekable-seek" title="g_seekable_seek ()"><code class="function">g_seekable_seek()</code></a>.

Queries a file input stream the given <em class="parameter"><code>attributes</code></em>. This function blocks
while querying the stream. For the asynchronous (non-blocking) version
of this function, see <a class="link" href="GFileInputStream.html#g-file-input-stream-query-info-async" title="g_file_input_stream_query_info_async ()"><code class="function">g_file_input_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>.
