Description

GBookmarkFile lets you parse, edit or create files containing bookmarks to URI, along with some meta-data about the resource pointed by the URI like its MIME type, the application that is registering the bookmark and the icon that should be used to represent the bookmark. The data is stored using the Desktop Bookmark Specification.

The syntax of the bookmark files is described in detail inside the Desktop Bookmark Specification, here is a quick summary: bookmark files use a sub-class of the XML Bookmark Exchange Language specification, consisting of valid UTF-8 encoded XML, under the xbel root element; each bookmark is stored inside a bookmark element, using its URI: no relative paths can be used inside a bookmark file. The bookmark may have a user defined title and description, to be used instead of the URI. Under the metadata element, with its owner attribute set to http://freedesktop.org, is stored the meta-data about a resource pointed by its URI. The meta-data consists of the resource's MIME type; the applications that have registered a bookmark; the groups to which a bookmark belongs to; a visibility flag, used to set the bookmark as "private" to the applications and groups that has it registered; the URI and MIME type of an icon, to be used when displaying the bookmark inside a GUI.

A bookmark file might contain more than one bookmark; each bookmark is accessed through its URI.

The important caveat of bookmark files is that when you add a new bookmark you must also add the application that is registering it, using g_bookmark_file_add_application() or g_bookmark_file_set_app_info(). If a bookmark has no applications then it won't be dumped when creating the on disk representation, using g_bookmark_file_to_data() or g_bookmark_file_to_file().

The GBookmarkFile parser was added in GLib 2.12.

GBookmarkFile

typedef struct _GBookmarkFile GBookmarkFile;

G_BOOKMARK_FILE_ERROR

#define G_BOOKMARK_FILE_ERROR (g_bookmark_file_error_quark ())

Error domain for bookmark file parsing. Errors in this domain will be from the GBookmarkFileError enumeration. See GError for information on error domains.

Sets the last time the bookmark for uri was last modified.

If no bookmark for uri is found then it is created.

The "modified" time should only be set when the bookmark's meta-data was actually changed. Every function of GBookmarkFile that modifies a bookmark also changes the modification time, except for g_bookmark_file_set_visited().

If no bookmark for uri is found then it is created.

The "visited" time should only be set if the bookmark was launched, either using the command line retrieved by g_bookmark_file_get_app_info() or by the default application for the bookmark's MIME type, retrieved using g_bookmark_file_get_mime_type(). Changing the "visited" time does not affect the "modified" time.

g_bookmark_file_set_app_info ()

                                                         GError **error);

Sets the meta-data of application name inside the list of applications that have registered a bookmark for uri inside bookmark.

You should rarely use this function; use g_bookmark_file_add_application() and g_bookmark_file_remove_application() instead.

name can be any UTF-8 encoded string used to identify an application. exec can have one of these two modifiers: "f", which will be expanded as the local file name retrieved from the bookmark's URI; "u", which will be expanded as the bookmark's URI. The expansion is done automatically when retrieving the stored command line using the g_bookmark_file_get_app_info() function. count is the number of times the application has registered the bookmark; if is < 0, the current registration count will be increased by one, if is 0, the application with name will be removed from the list of registered applications. stamp is the Unix time of the last registration; if it is -1, the current time will be used.

If you try to remove an application by setting its registration count to zero, and no bookmark for uri is found, FALSE is returned and error is set to G_BOOKMARK_FILE_ERROR_URI_NOT_FOUND; similarly, in the event that no application name has registered a bookmark for uri, FALSE is returned and error is set to G_BOOKMARK_FILE_ERROR_APP_NOT_REGISTERED. Otherwise, if no bookmark for uri is found, one is created.

bookmark :

a GBookmarkFile

uri :

a valid URI

name :

an application's name

exec :

an application's command line

count :

the number of registrations done for this application

stamp :

the time of the last registration for this application

error :

return location for a GError or NULL

Returns :

TRUE if the application's meta-data was successfully changed.

                                                         const gchar *group);

                                                         const gchar *exec);

Adds the application with name and exec to the list of applications that have registered a bookmark for uri into bookmark.

Every bookmark inside a GBookmarkFile must have at least an application registered. Each application must provide a name, a command line useful for launching the bookmark, the number of times the bookmark has been registered by the application and the last time the application registered this bookmark.

If name is NULL, the name of the application will be the same returned by g_get_application_name(); if exec is NULL, the command line will be a composition of the program name as returned by g_get_prgname() and the "u" modifier, which will be expanded to the bookmark's URI.

This function will automatically take care of updating the registrations count and timestamping in case an application with the same name had already registered a bookmark for uri inside bookmark.

If no bookmark for uri is found, one is created.

bookmark :

a GBookmarkFile

uri :

a valid URI

name :

the name of the application registering the bookmark or NULL

exec :

command line to be used to launch the bookmark or NULL

Removes group from the list of groups to which the bookmark for uri belongs to.

In the event the URI cannot be found, FALSE is returned and error is set to G_BOOKMARK_FILE_ERROR_URI_NOT_FOUND. In the event no group was defined, FALSE is returned and error is set to G_BOOKMARK_FILE_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE.
