Gio.IOErrorEnum
Description: Reference for Gio.IOErrorEnum

### Enumeration

# GioIOErrorEnum

since: 2.0

#### Declaration

    error-domain Gio.IOErrorEnum

#### Description

Error codes returned by GIO functions.

Note that this domain may be extended in future GLib releases. In general, new error codes either only apply to new APIs, or else replace `G_IO_ERROR_FAILED` in cases that were not explicitly distinguished before. You should therefore avoid writing code like

    if (g_error_matches (error, G_IO_ERROR, G_IO_ERROR_FAILED))
      {
        // Assume that this is EPRINTERONFIRE
        ...
      }

but should instead treat all unrecognized error codes the same as `G_IO_ERROR_FAILED`.

See also `GPollableReturn` for a cheaper way of returning `G_IO_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK` to callers without allocating a `GError`.

Available since: 2.0
