Description

Functions

ThunarFileGetFunc ()

void
(*ThunarFileGetFunc) (GFile *location,
                      ThunarFile *file,
                      GError *error,
                      gpointer user_data);

Callback type for loading ThunarFiles asynchronously. If you want to keep the ThunarFile, you need to ref it, else it will be destroyed.


thunar_file_get ()

ThunarFile *
thunar_file_get (GFile *file,
                 GError **error);

Looks up the ThunarFile referred to by file . This function may return a ThunarFile even though the file doesn't actually exist. This is the case with remote URIs (like SFTP) for instance, if they are not mounted.

The caller is responsible to call g_object_unref() when done with the returned object.

Parameters

file

a GFile.

 

error

return location for errors.

 

Returns

the ThunarFile for file or NULL on errors.


thunar_file_get_with_info ()

ThunarFile *
thunar_file_get_with_info (GFile *file,
                           GFileInfo *info,
                           GFileInfo *recent_info,
                           gboolean not_mounted);

Looks up the ThunarFile referred to by file . This function may return a ThunarFile even though the file doesn't actually exist. This is the case with remote URIs (like SFTP) for instance, if they are not mounted.

This function does not use g_file_query_info() to get the info, but takes a reference on the info ,

The caller is responsible to call g_object_unref() when done with the returned object.

Parameters

uri

an URI or an absolute filename.

 

info

GFileInfo to use when loading the info.

 

recent_info

additional GFileInfo to use when loading the info, only for files in recent:///.

 

not_mounted

if the file is mounted.

 

Returns

the ThunarFile for file or NULL on errors.


thunar_file_get_for_uri ()

ThunarFile *
thunar_file_get_for_uri (const gchar *uri,
                         GError **error);

Convenience wrapper function for thunar_file_get_for_path(), as its often required to determine a ThunarFile for a given uri .

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

Parameters

uri

an URI or an absolute filename.

 

error

return location for errors or NULL.

 

Returns

the ThunarFile for the given uri or NULL if unable to determine.


thunar_file_get_async ()

void
thunar_file_get_async (GFile *location,
                       GCancellable *cancellable,
                       ThunarFileGetFunc func,
                       gpointer user_data);

thunar_file_get_file ()

GFile *
thunar_file_get_file (const ThunarFile *file);

Returns the GFile that refers to the location of file .

The returned GFile is owned by file and must not be released with g_object_unref().

Parameters

file

a ThunarFile instance.

 

Returns

the GFile corresponding to file .


thunar_file_get_info ()

GFileInfo *
thunar_file_get_info (const ThunarFile *file);

Returns the GFileInfo for file .

Note, that there's no reference taken for the caller on the returned GFileInfo, so if you need the object for a longer perioud, you'll need to take a reference yourself using the g_object_ref() method.

Parameters

file

a ThunarFile instance.

 

Returns

the GFileInfo for file or NULL.


thunar_file_get_parent ()

ThunarFile *
thunar_file_get_parent (const ThunarFile *file,

Determines the parent ThunarFile for file . If file has no parent or the user is not allowed to open the parent folder of file , NULL will be returned and error will be set to point to a GError that describes the cause. Else, the ThunarFile will be returned, and the caller must call g_object_unref() on it.

You may want to call thunar_file_has_parent() first to determine whether file has a parent.

Parameters

file

a ThunarFile instance.

 

error

return location for errors.

 

Returns

the parent ThunarFile or NULL.
