### Warning

`g_mime_part_set_pre_encoded_content` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

WARNING: This interface is deprecated. Use `g_mime_part_set_content_object()` instead.

Sets the encoding type and raw content on the mime part after decoding the content.

`mime_part` : | Mime part
`content` : | encoded mime part content
`len` : | length of the content
`encoding` : | content encoding

### g_mime_part_set_content_byte_array ()

### Warning

`g_mime_part_set_content_byte_array` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

WARNING: This interface is deprecated. Use `g_mime_part_set_content_object()` instead.

Sets the content of the Mime Part (only non-multiparts)

`mime_part` : | Mime part
`content` : | raw mime part content.

### g_mime_part_get_content ()

    const char *        g_mime_part_get_content             (const GMimePart *mime_part,
                                                             size_t *len);

### Warning

`g_mime_part_get_content` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Gets the raw contents of the mime part and sets `len` to the length of the raw data buffer.

WARNING: This interface is deprecated. Use `g_mime_part_get_content_object()` instead.

`mime_part` : | MIME part object
`len` : | pointer to the content length
Returns : | a const char * pointer to the raw contents of the MIME Part and sets `len` to the length of the buffer. Note: textual content will not be converted to UTF-8. Also note that this buffer will not be nul-terminated and may in fact contain nul bytes mid-buffer so you MUST treat the data returned as raw binary data even if the content type is text.

### g_mime_part_get_content_object ()

    GMimeDataWrapper *  g_mime_part_get_content_object      (const GMimePart *mime_part);

Gets the internal data-wrapper of the specified mime part, or `NULL` on error.

`mime_part` : | MIME part object
Returns : | the data-wrapper for the mime part's contents.

### g_mime_part_set_content_object ()

    void                g_mime_part_set_content_object      (GMimePart *mime_part,

Sets the content object on the mime part.

`mime_part` : | MIME Part
`content` : | content object

### g_mime_part_write_to_stream ()

    ssize_t             g_mime_part_write_to_stream         (GMimePart *mime_part,
                                                             GMimeStream *stream);

### Warning

`g_mime_part_write_to_stream` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Writes the contents of the MIME Part to `stream`.

WARNING: This interface is deprecated. Use `g_mime_object_write_to_stream()` instead.

`mime_part` : | MIME Part
`stream` : | output stream
Returns : | the number of bytes written or `-1` on fail.

### g_mime_part_to_string ()

    char *              g_mime_part_to_string               (GMimePart *mime_part);

### Warning

`g_mime_part_to_string` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Allocates a string buffer containing the MIME Part.

WARNING: This interface is deprecated. Use `g_mime_object_to_string()` instead.

`mime_part` : | MIME Part
Returns : | an allocated string containing the MIME Part.
