            ), to close a stream (

                The <code class="methodname">close</code>() method closes the stream, releasing
                resources related to it.
            </p><p>
                Once the stream is closed, all other operations will return gio.ERROR_CLOSED.
                Closing a stream multiple times will not return an error.
            </p><p>
                Streams will be automatically closed when the last reference is dropped, but
                you might want to call this function to make sure resources are released as
                early as possible.
            </p><p>
                Some streams might keep the backing store of the stream (e.g. a file descriptor)
                open after the stream is closed. See the documentation for the individual
                stream for details.
            </p><p>
                On failure the first error that happened will be reported, but the close operation
                will finish as much as possible. A stream that failed to close will still return
                gio.ERROR_CLOSED for all operations. Still, it is important to check and report
                the error to the user.
            </p><p>
                If cancellable is not <code class="literal">None</code>, then the operation can be cancelled by
                triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled,
                the error gio.ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned. Cancelling a close will still leave
                the stream closed, but some streams can use a faster close that doesn't block to e.g.
                check errors.

                On a successful read of count bytes, or if we reached the end of the stream,
                <code class="literal">True</code> is returned, and bytes_read is set to the number of bytes read into buffer.

                If cancellable is not <code class="literal">None</code>, then the operation can be cancelled by

                the error gio.ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned. Cancelling a close will still leave
                the stream closed, but some streams can use a faster close that doesn't block to e.g.
                check errors.

                If there is an error during the operation <code class="literal">False</code> is returned and error
                is set to indicate the error status, bytes_read is updated to contain the number of
