enum GAskPasswordFlags

GAskPasswordFlags are used to request specific information from the user, or to notify the user of their choices in an authentication situation.

GPasswordSave is used to indicate the lifespan of a saved password.

Gvfs stores passwords in the Gnome keyring when this flag allows it to, and later retrieves it again from there.

GMountOperation

typedef struct _GMountOperation GMountOperation;

enum GMountOperationResult

GMountOperationResult is returned as a result when a request for information is send by the mounting operation.

The “anonymous” property

  “anonymous”                gboolean

Whether to use an anonymous user when authenticating.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: FALSE

The “choice” property

  “choice”                   gint

The index of the user's choice when a question is asked during the mount operation. See the “ask-question” signal.

Flags: Read / Write

Allowed values: >= 0

Default value: 0

The “domain” property

  “domain”                   gchar *

  “password”                 gchar *

The password that is used for authentication when carrying out the mount operation.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: NULL

The “password-save” property

  “password-save”            GPasswordSave

Determines if and how the password information should be saved.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: G_PASSWORD_SAVE_NEVER

The “username” property

  “username”                 gchar *

The “aborted” signal

void
user_function (GMountOperation *gmountoperation,
               gpointer         user_data)

Emitted by the backend when e.g. a device becomes unavailable while a mount operation is in progress.

Implementations of GMountOperation should handle this signal by dismissing open password dialogs.

Flags: Run Last

Since: 2.20

The “ask-password” signal

void
user_function (GMountOperation  *op,
               gchar            *message,
               gchar            *default_user,
               gchar            *default_domain,
               GAskPasswordFlags flags,
               gpointer          user_data)

Emitted when a mount operation asks the user for a password.

If the message contains a line break, the first line should be presented as a heading. For example, it may be used as the primary text in a GtkMessageDialog.

Flags: Run Last

The “ask-question” signal

void
user_function (GMountOperation *op,
               gchar           *message,
               GStrv            choices,
               gpointer         user_data)

Emitted when asking the user a question and gives a list of choices for the user to choose from.

If the message contains a line break, the first line should be presented as a heading. For example, it may be used as the primary text in a GtkMessageDialog.

Flags: Run Last

The “reply” signal

void
user_function (GMountOperation      *op,
               GMountOperationResult result,
               gpointer              user_data)

Emitted when the user has replied to the mount operation.

Flags: Run Last

The “show-processes” signal

void
user_function (GMountOperation *op,
               gchar           *message,
               GArray          *processes,
               GStrv            choices,
               gpointer         user_data)

Emitted when one or more processes are blocking an operation e.g. unmounting/ejecting a GMount or stopping a GDrive.

Note that this signal may be emitted several times to update the list of blocking processes as processes close files. The application should only respond with g_mount_operation_reply() to the latest signal (setting “choice” to the choice the user made).

If the message contains a line break, the first line should be presented as a heading. For example, it may be used as the primary text in a GtkMessageDialog.

Flags: Run Last

Since: 2.22

The “show-unmount-progress” signal

void
user_function (GMountOperation *op,
               gchar           *message,
               gint64           time_left,
               gint64           bytes_left,
               gpointer         user_data)

Emitted when an unmount operation has been busy for more than some time (typically 1.5 seconds).

When unmounting or ejecting a volume, the kernel might need to flush pending data in its buffers to the volume stable storage, and this operation can take a considerable amount of time. This signal may be emitted several times as long as the unmount operation is outstanding, and then one last time when the operation is completed, with bytes_left set to zero.

Implementations of GMountOperation should handle this signal by showing an UI notification, and then dismiss it, or show another notification of completion, when bytes_left reaches zero.

If the message contains a line break, the first line should be presented as a heading. For example, it may be used as the primary text in a GtkMessageDialog.

Flags: Run Last
