XfceMatchFunc ()

gboolean
(*XfceMatchFunc) (const gchar *basedir,
                  const gchar *relpath,
                  gpointer user_data);

Return value :

xfce_resource_dirs ()

gchar **
xfce_resource_dirs (XfceResourceType type);

Queries the list of possible directories for the specified type . The first element of the list is always the save location for type . None of the directories returned in the list are garantied to exist.

This function should be rarely used. You should consider using xfce_resource_lookup() or xfce_resource_match() instead.

The returned list must be freed using g_strfreev().

xfce_resource_lookup ()

gchar *
xfce_resource_lookup (XfceResourceType type,
                      const gchar *filename);

Looks for a resource of the specified type whose relative path matches filename . filename can either reference a regular file, in which case it must not end with a slash character ('/'), or a directory, when filename contains a trailing slash character ('/').

The caller is responsible to free the returned string using g_free() when no longer needed.

xfce_resource_lookup_all ()

gchar **
xfce_resource_lookup_all (XfceResourceType type,
                          const gchar *filename);

Similar to xfce_resource_lookup(), but returns all resource of the specified type , that whose name is filename .

The caller is responsible to free the returned string array using g_strfreev() when no longer needed.

xfce_resource_match ()

gchar **
xfce_resource_match (XfceResourceType type,
                     const gchar *pattern,
                     gboolean unique);

Tries to find all resources with the specified type . The function will look into all specified directories and return all filenames in these directories. The returned filenames are given relative the base directories specified by type .

If pattern contains a trailing slash, xfce_resource_match looks only for directories that match pattern , else it'll only look for regular files. In case you are looking for directories, the returned entries will contain a trailing slash as well, so you can easily use them with other resource functions like xfce_resource_lookup or xfce_resource_save_location.

Example: xfce_resource_match (XFCE_RESOURCE_CONFIG, "foo/bar*") will probably return ("foo/bar", "foo/barbaz", ...).

xfce_resource_match_custom ()

gchar **
xfce_resource_match_custom (XfceResourceType type,
                            gboolean unique,
                            XfceMatchFunc func,
                            gpointer user_data);

Yet to be implemented!

xfce_resource_push_path ()

void
xfce_resource_push_path (XfceResourceType type,
                         const gchar *path);

Appends path to the search path list for type . This function was written primary for use within modules in larger applications, for example MCS plugins.

For example, if you need to add a specific path to the search path list in your MCS, you should call xfce_resource_push_path() prior to calling one of the resource search functions and call xfce_resource_pop_path() right afterwards.

Since: 4.2

xfce_resource_pop_path ()

void
xfce_resource_pop_path (XfceResourceType type);

Undoes the effect of the latest call to xfce_resource_push_path(). You should take special care to call xfce_resource_pop_path() exactly same times as xfce_resource_push_path(), everything else might result in unwanted and maybe even undefined behaviour. You have been warned!

Since: 4.2

xfce_resource_save_location ()

gchar *
xfce_resource_save_location (XfceResourceType type,
                             const gchar *relpath,
                             gboolean create);

If relpath contains a trailing slash ('/') character, xfce_resource_save_location() finds the directory to save files into for the given type in the user's home directory. All directories needed (including those given by relpath ) will be created on demand if create if TRUE.

If relpath does not end with a slash ('/') character, it is taken to be the name of a file to return the save location for. All the directories needed will be created on demand if create is TRUE.

Specifying NULL or the empty string for relpath allows you to discover the base path for saving files of the specified type , though normally you should not need this.
