GVfsFileLookupFunc ()

GFile *
(*GVfsFileLookupFunc) (GVfs *vfs,
                       const char *identifier,
                       gpointer user_data);

This function type is used by g_vfs_register_uri_scheme() to make it possible for a client to associate an URI scheme to a different GFile implementation.

The client should return a reference to the new file that has been created for uri , or NULL to continue with the default implementation.

g_vfs_get_file_for_path ()

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

Gets a GFile for path .

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.

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.

g_vfs_get_default ()

GVfs *
g_vfs_get_default (void);

Gets the default GVfs for the system.

g_vfs_get_local ()

GVfs *
g_vfs_get_local (void);

Gets the local GVfs for the system.

g_vfs_is_active ()

gboolean
g_vfs_is_active (GVfs *vfs);

Checks if the VFS is 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 .

g_vfs_register_uri_scheme ()

gboolean
g_vfs_register_uri_scheme (GVfs *vfs,
                           const char *scheme,
                           GVfsFileLookupFunc uri_func,
                           gpointer uri_data,
                           GDestroyNotify uri_destroy,
                           GVfsFileLookupFunc parse_name_func,
                           gpointer parse_name_data,
                           GDestroyNotify parse_name_destroy);

Registers uri_func and parse_name_func as the GFile URI and parse name lookup functions for URIs with a scheme matching scheme . Note that scheme is registered only within the running application, as opposed to desktop-wide as it happens with GVfs backends.

When a GFile is requested with an URI containing scheme (e.g. through g_file_new_for_uri()), uri_func will be called to allow a custom constructor. The implementation of uri_func should not be blocking, and must not call g_vfs_register_uri_scheme() or g_vfs_unregister_uri_scheme().

When g_file_parse_name() is called with a parse name obtained from such file, parse_name_func will be called to allow the GFile to be created again. In that case, it's responsibility of parse_name_func to make sure the parse name matches what the custom GFile implementation returned when g_file_get_parse_name() was previously called. The implementation of parse_name_func should not be blocking, and must not call g_vfs_register_uri_scheme() or g_vfs_unregister_uri_scheme().

It's an error to call this function twice with the same scheme. To unregister a custom URI scheme, use g_vfs_unregister_uri_scheme().

g_vfs_unregister_uri_scheme ()

gboolean
g_vfs_unregister_uri_scheme (GVfs *vfs,
                             const char *scheme);

Unregisters the URI handler for scheme previously registered with g_vfs_register_uri_scheme().
