Description

Entry point for using GIO functionality.

Functions

g_vfs_get_file_for_path ()

GFile *
g_vfs_get_file_for_path (GVfs *vfs,
                         const char *path);

Gets a GFile for path .

Parameters

vfs	a GVfs.
path	a string containing a VFS path.

Returns

a GFile. Free the returned object with g_object_unref().

[transfer full]

g_vfs_get_file_for_uri ()

GFile *
g_vfs_get_file_for_uri (GVfs *vfs,
                        const char *uri);

Gets a GFile for uri .

This operation never fails, but the returned object might not support any I/O operation if the URI is malformed or if the URI scheme is not supported.

Parameters

vfs	aGVfs.
uri	a string containing a URI

Returns

a GFile. Free the returned object with g_object_unref().

[transfer full]

g_vfs_parse_name ()

GFile *
g_vfs_parse_name (GVfs *vfs,
                  const char *parse_name);

This operation never fails, but the returned object might not support any I/O operations if the parse_name cannot be parsed by the GVfs module.

Parameters

vfs	a GVfs.
parse_name	a string to be parsed by the VFS module.

Returns

a GFile for the given parse_name . Free the returned object with g_object_unref().

[transfer full]

g_vfs_get_default ()

GVfs *
g_vfs_get_default (void);

Gets the default GVfs for the system.

Returns

a GVfs.

[transfer none]

g_vfs_get_local ()

GVfs *
g_vfs_get_local (void);

Gets the local GVfs for the system.

Returns

a GVfs.

[transfer none]

g_vfs_is_active ()

gboolean
g_vfs_is_active (GVfs *vfs);

Checks if the VFS is active.

Parameters

vfs

a GVfs.

Returns

TRUE if construction of the vfs was successful and it is now active.

g_vfs_get_supported_uri_schemes ()

const gchar * const *
g_vfs_get_supported_uri_schemes (GVfs *vfs);

Gets a list of URI schemes supported by vfs .

Parameters

vfs

a GVfs.

Returns

a NULL-terminated array of strings. The returned array belongs to GIO and must not be freed or modified.

[transfer none]
