Parameters

progress

Type: FuProgress

A FuProgress.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.

error

Type: GError **

The argument will left initialized to NULL by the method if there are no errors.

In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

Return value

Type: GBytes

A GBytes, or NULL for error.

The caller of the method takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
