gInputStreamSkip
Tries to skip count bytes from the stream. Will block during the operation.
gInputStreamSkip(object, count, cancellable = NULL, .errwarn = TRUE)
|

the number of bytes that will be skipped from the stream |

optional |
.errwarn |
Whether to issue a warning on error or fail silently |
This is identical to gInputStreamRead, from a behaviour standpoint,
but the bytes that are skipped are not returned to the user. Some
streams have an implementation that is more efficient than reading the data.
This function is optional for inherited classes, as the default implementation emulates it using read.
If cancellable is not NULL, then the operation can be cancelled by
triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation
was cancelled, the error G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned. If an
operation was partially finished when the operation was cancelled the
partial result will be returned, without an error.
