gsf_blob_new ()

GsfBlob *           gsf_blob_new                        (gsize size,
                                                         gconstpointer data_to_copy,
                                                         GError **error);

Creates a new GsfBlob object to hold the specified data. The blob can then be used as a facility for reference-counting for the data. The data is copied internally, so the blob does not hold references to external chunks of memory.

`size` :	Size of the data in bytes.
`data_to_copy` :	Data which will be copied into the blob, or `NULL` if `size` is zero. [in][array length=size][element-type guint8]
`error` :	location to store error, or `NULL`.
Returns :	A newly-created GsfBlob, or `NULL` if the data could not be copied. Error domain: GSF_ERROR Possible errors: GSF_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY if the `data_to_copy` could not be copied.

gsf_blob_get_size ()

gsize               gsf_blob_get_size                   (GsfBlob const *blob);

Queries the size in bytes of the data stored in the blob.

`blob` :	A GsfBlob.
Returns :	Size in bytes, or 0 if the data is `NULL`.

gsf_blob_peek_data ()

gconstpointer       gsf_blob_peek_data                  (GsfBlob const *blob);

Queries a pointer to the data stored in the blob. This does not copy the data for you; it returns a pointer to the actual buffer which the blob uses internally, so you should not free this buffer on your own.

`blob` :	A GsfBlob.
Returns :	Pointer to the data stored in the blob, or `NULL` if the size of the data is zero. [transfer none]

gsf_structured_blob_write ()

gboolean            gsf_structured_blob_write           (GsfStructuredBlob *blob,
                                                         GsfOutfile *container);

Dumps structured blob blob onto the container. Will fail if the output is not an Outfile and blob has multiple streams.

`blob` :	GsfStructuredBlob
`container` :	GsfOutfile
Returns :	`TRUE` on success.

gsf_structured_blob_read ()

GsfStructuredBlob * gsf_structured_blob_read            (GsfInput *input);

Create a tree of binary blobs with unknown content from a GsfInput or GsfInfile and store it in a newly created GsfStructuredBlob.

`input` :	An input (potentially a GsfInfile) holding the blob
Returns :	a new GsfStructuredBlob object which the caller is responsible for. [transfer full]
