Entry point for using GIO functionality.

Details

GVfs

typedef struct _GVfs GVfs;

Virtual File System object.

G_VFS_EXTENSION_POINT_NAME

#define G_VFS_EXTENSION_POINT_NAME "gio-vfs"

Extension point for GVfs functionality. See Extending GIO.

g_vfs_get_file_for_path ()

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

Gets a GFile for path.

`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.

`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.

`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.

`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.

`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]
