PollableInputStreamT.isReadable

Checks if stream can be read.

Note that some stream types may not be able to implement this 100% reliably, and it is possible that a call to gio.input_stream.InputStream.read after this returns true would still block. To guarantee non-blocking behavior, you should always use gio.pollable_input_stream.PollableInputStream.readNonblocking, which will return a gio.types.IOErrorEnum.WouldBlock error rather than blocking.

The behaviour of this method is undefined if gio.pollable_input_stream.PollableInputStream.canPoll returns false for stream.

Return Value

Type: bool

true if stream is readable, false if not. If an error has occurred on stream, this will result in gio.pollable_input_stream.PollableInputStream.isReadable returning true, and the next attempt to read will return the error.
