Functions
Types and Values
Description
Functionality for manipulating basic metadata for files. GFileInfo implements methods for getting information that all files should contain, and allows for manipulation of extended attributes.
See GFileAttribute for more information on how GIO handles file attributes.
To obtain a GFileInfo for a GFile, use g_file_query_info() (or its
async variant). To obtain a GFileInfo for a file input or output
stream, use g_file_input_stream_query_info() or
g_file_output_stream_query_info() (or their async variants).
To change the actual attributes of a file, you should then set the
attribute in the GFileInfo and call g_file_set_attributes_from_info()
or g_file_set_attributes_async() on a GFile.
However, not all attributes can be changed in the file. For instance,
the actual size of a file cannot be changed via g_file_info_set_size().
You may call g_file_query_settable_attributes() and
g_file_query_writable_namespaces() to discover the settable attributes
of a particular file at runtime.
GFileAttributeMatcher allows for searching through a GFileInfo for attributes.

g_file_attribute_matcher_new ()
GFileAttributeMatcher *
g_file_attribute_matcher_new (const char *attributes);
Creates a new file attribute matcher, which matches attributes against a given string. GFileAttributeMatchers are reference counted structures, and are created with a reference count of 1. If the number of references falls to 0, the GFileAttributeMatcher is automatically destroyed.
The attribute
string should be formatted with specific keys separated
from namespaces with a double colon. Several "namespace::key" strings may be
concatenated with a single comma (e.g. "standard::type,standard::is-hidden").
The wildcard "*" may be used to match all keys and namespaces, or
"namespace::*" will match all keys in a given namespace.
g_file_attribute_matcher_ref ()
GFileAttributeMatcher *
g_file_attribute_matcher_ref (GFileAttributeMatcher *matcher);
References a file attribute matcher.
g_file_attribute_matcher_subtract ()
GFileAttributeMatcher * g_file_attribute_matcher_subtract (GFileAttributeMatcher *matcher,GFileAttributeMatcher *subtract);
Subtracts all attributes of subtract
from matcher
and returns
a matcher that supports those attributes.
Note that currently it is not possible to remove a single
attribute when the matcher
matches the whole namespace - or remove
a namespace or attribute when the matcher matches everything. This
is a limitation of the current implementation, but may be fixed
in the future.
g_file_attribute_matcher_unref ()
void
g_file_attribute_matcher_unref (GFileAttributeMatcher *matcher);
Unreferences matcher
. If the reference count falls below 1,
the matcher
is automatically freed.
g_file_attribute_matcher_matches ()
gboolean g_file_attribute_matcher_matches (GFileAttributeMatcher *matcher,const char *attribute);
Checks if an attribute will be matched by an attribute matcher. If
the matcher was created with the "*" matching string, this function
will always return TRUE.
g_file_attribute_matcher_matches_only ()
gboolean g_file_attribute_matcher_matches_only (GFileAttributeMatcher *matcher,const char *attribute);
Checks if a attribute matcher only matches a given attribute. Always
returns FALSE if "*" was used when creating the matcher.
g_file_attribute_matcher_enumerate_namespace ()
gboolean g_file_attribute_matcher_enumerate_namespace (GFileAttributeMatcher *matcher,const char *ns);
Checks if the matcher will match all of the keys in a given namespace.
This will always return TRUE if a wildcard character is in use (e.g. if
matcher was created with "standard::*" and ns
is "standard", or if matcher was created
using "*" and namespace is anything.)
TODO: this is awkwardly worded.
g_file_attribute_matcher_enumerate_next ()
const char *
g_file_attribute_matcher_enumerate_next
(GFileAttributeMatcher *matcher);
Gets the next matched attribute from a GFileAttributeMatcher.
g_file_attribute_matcher_to_string ()
char *
g_file_attribute_matcher_to_string (GFileAttributeMatcher *matcher);
Prints what the matcher is matching against. The format will be
equal to the format passed to g_file_attribute_matcher_new().
The output however, might not be identical, as the matcher may
decide to use a different order or omit needless parts.
Since 2.32

A key in the "standard" namespace for storing file types.
Corresponding GFileAttributeType is G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_UINT32.
The value for this key should contain a GFileType.
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_IS_HIDDEN

G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_IS_SYMLINK
#define G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_IS_SYMLINK "standard::is-symlink" /* boolean */
A key in the "standard" namespace for checking if the file is a symlink.
Typically the actual type is something else, if we followed the symlink
to get the type.

G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_IS_VIRTUAL
#define G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_IS_VIRTUAL "standard::is-virtual" /* boolean */

G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_NAME
#define G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_NAME "standard::name" /* byte string */
A key in the "standard" namespace for getting the name of the file.
The name is the on-disk filename which may not be in any known encoding,
and can thus not be generally displayed as is.
Use G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_DISPLAY_NAME if you need to display the
name in a user interface.
Corresponding GFileAttributeType is G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_BYTE_STRING.
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_DISPLAY_NAME
#define G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_DISPLAY_NAME "standard::display-name" /* string */

G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_EDIT_NAME
#define G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_EDIT_NAME "standard::edit-name" /* string */
A key in the "standard" namespace for edit name of the file. An edit name is similar to the display name, but it is meant to be used when you want to rename the file in the UI. The display name might contain information you don't want in the new filename (such as "(invalid unicode)" if the filename was in an invalid encoding).
Corresponding GFileAttributeType is G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_STRING.
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_COPY_NAME
#define G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_COPY_NAME "standard::copy-name" /* string */
A key in the "standard" namespace for getting the copy name of the file. The copy name is an optional version of the name. If available it's always in UTF8, and corresponds directly to the original filename (only transcoded to UTF8). This is useful if you want to copy the file to another filesystem that might have a different encoding. If the filename is not a valid string in the encoding selected for the filesystem it is in then the copy name will not be set.
Corresponding GFileAttributeType is G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_STRING.
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_ICON
#define G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_ICON "standard::icon" /* object (GIcon) */
A key in the "standard" namespace for getting the icon for the file.

G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_FAST_CONTENT_TYPE
#define G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_FAST_CONTENT_TYPE "standard::fast-content-type" /* string */
A key in the "standard" namespace for getting the fast content type.
The fast content type isn't as reliable as the regular one, as it
only uses the filename to guess it, but it is faster to calculate than the
regular content type.
Corresponding GFileAttributeType is G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_STRING.
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_SIZE
#define G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_SIZE "standard::size" /* uint64 */
A key in the "standard" namespace for getting the file's size (in bytes).
Corresponding GFileAttributeType is G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_UINT64.
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_ALLOCATED_SIZE
#define G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_ALLOCATED_SIZE "standard::allocated-size" /* uint64 */
A key in the "standard" namespace for getting the amount of disk space
that is consumed by the file (in bytes). This will generally be larger
than the file size (due to block size overhead) but can occasionally be
smaller (for example, for sparse files).
Corresponding GFileAttributeType is G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_UINT64.
Since 2.20
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_SYMLINK_TARGET
#define G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_SYMLINK_TARGET "standard::symlink-target" /* byte string */

#define G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_SORT_ORDER "standard::sort-order" /* int32 */
A key in the "standard" namespace for setting the sort order of a file.
Corresponding GFileAttributeType is G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_INT32.
An example use would be in file managers, which would use this key
to set the order files are displayed. Files with smaller sort order
should be sorted first, and files without sort order as if sort order
was zero.
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ETAG_VALUE
#define G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ETAG_VALUE "etag::value" /* string */
A key in the "etag" namespace for getting the value of the file's
entity tag. Corresponding GFileAttributeType is

A key in the "id" namespace for getting the file system identifier.
Corresponding GFileAttributeType is G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_STRING.
