File

Required methods

fn append_to<P: IsA<Cancellable>>(
    &self,
    flags: FileCreateFlags,
    cancellable: Option<&P>
) -> Result<FileOutputStream, Error>

Gets an output stream for appending data to the file. If the file doesn't already exist it is created.

By default files created are generally readable by everyone, but if you pass FileCreateFlags::Private in flags the file will be made readable only to the current user, to the level that is supported on the target filesystem.

If cancellable is not None, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnum::Cancelled will be returned.

Some file systems don't allow all file names, and may return an IOErrorEnum::InvalidFilename error. If the file is a directory the IOErrorEnum::IsDirectory error will be returned. Other errors are possible too, and depend on what kind of filesystem the file is on.

flags

a set of FileCreateFlags

cancellable

optional Cancellable object, None to ignore

Returns

a FileOutputStream, or None on error. Free the returned object with gobject::ObjectExt::unref.

fn append_to_async<P: IsA<Cancellable>, Q: FnOnce(Result<FileOutputStream, Error>) + Send + 'static>(
    &self,
    flags: FileCreateFlags,
    io_priority: Priority,
    cancellable: Option<&P>,
    callback: Q
)

Asynchronously opens self for appending.

For more details, see File::append_to which is the synchronous version of this call.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call File::append_to_finish to get the result of the operation.

flags

a set of FileCreateFlags

io_priority

the [I/O priority][io-priority] of the request

cancellable

optional Cancellable object, None to ignore

callback

a GAsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied

user_data

the data to pass to callback function

fn append_to_async_future(
    &self,
    flags: FileCreateFlags,
    io_priority: Priority
) -> Pin<Box_<dyn Future<Output = Result<FileOutputStream, Error>> + 'static>>

fn copy<P: IsA<File>, Q: IsA<Cancellable>>(
    &self,
    destination: &P,
    flags: FileCopyFlags,
    cancellable: Option<&Q>,
    progress_callback: Option<&mut dyn FnMut(i64, i64)>
) -> Result<(), Error>

Copies the file self to the location specified by destination. Can not handle recursive copies of directories.

If the flag FileCopyFlags::Overwrite is specified an already existing destination file is overwritten.

If the flag FileCopyFlags::NofollowSymlinks is specified then symlinks will be copied as symlinks, otherwise the target of the self symlink will be copied.

If the flag FileCopyFlags::AllMetadata is specified then all the metadata that is possible to copy is copied, not just the default subset (which, for instance, does not include the owner, see FileInfo).

If cancellable is not None, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnum::Cancelled will be returned.

If progress_callback is not None, then the operation can be monitored by setting this to a GFileProgressCallback function. progress_callback_data will be passed to this function. It is guaranteed that this callback will be called after all data has been transferred with the total number of bytes copied during the operation.

If the self file does not exist, then the IOErrorEnum::NotFound error is returned, independent on the status of the destination.

If FileCopyFlags::Overwrite is not specified and the target exists, then the error IOErrorEnum::Exists is returned.

If trying to overwrite a file over a directory, the IOErrorEnum::IsDirectory error is returned. If trying to overwrite a directory with a directory the IOErrorEnum::WouldMerge error is returned.

If the source is a directory and the target does not exist, or FileCopyFlags::Overwrite is specified and the target is a file, then the IOErrorEnum::WouldRecurse error is returned.

If you are interested in copying the File object itself (not the on-disk file), see File::dup.

destination

destination File

flags

set of FileCopyFlags

cancellable

optional Cancellable object, None to ignore

progress_callback

function to callback with progress information, or None if progress information is not needed

progress_callback_data

user data to pass to progress_callback

Returns

true on success, false otherwise.

fn copy_attributes<P: IsA<File>, Q: IsA<Cancellable>>(
    &self,
    destination: &P,
    flags: FileCopyFlags,
    cancellable: Option<&Q>
) -> Result<(), Error>

Copies the file attributes from self to destination.

Normally only a subset of the file attributes are copied, those that are copies in a normal file copy operation (which for instance does not include e.g. owner). However if FileCopyFlags::AllMetadata is specified in flags, then all the metadata that is possible to copy is copied. This is useful when implementing move by copy + delete source.

destination

a File to copy attributes to

flags

a set of FileCopyFlags

cancellable

optional Cancellable object, None to ignore

Returns

true if the attributes were copied successfully, false otherwise.

fn create<P: IsA<Cancellable>>(
    &self,
    flags: FileCreateFlags,
    cancellable: Option<&P>
) -> Result<FileOutputStream, Error>

Creates a new file and returns an output stream for writing to it. The file must not already exist.

By default files created are generally readable by everyone, but if you pass FileCreateFlags::Private in flags the file will be made readable only to the current user, to the level that is supported on the target filesystem.

If cancellable is not None, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnum::Cancelled will be returned.

If a file or directory with this name already exists the IOErrorEnum::Exists error will be returned. Some file systems don't allow all file names, and may return an IOErrorEnum::InvalidFilename error, and if the name is to long IOErrorEnum::FilenameTooLong will be returned. Other errors are possible too, and depend on what kind of filesystem the file is on.

flags

a set of FileCreateFlags

cancellable

optional Cancellable object, None to ignore

Returns

a FileOutputStream for the newly created file, or None on error. Free the returned object with gobject::ObjectExt::unref.

fn create_async<P: IsA<Cancellable>, Q: FnOnce(Result<FileOutputStream, Error>) + Send + 'static>(
    &self,
    flags: FileCreateFlags,
    io_priority: Priority,
    cancellable: Option<&P>,
    callback: Q
)

Asynchronously creates a new file and returns an output stream for writing to it. The file must not already exist.

For more details, see File::create which is the synchronous version of this call.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call File::create_finish to get the result of the operation.

fn create_readwrite<P: IsA<Cancellable>>(
    &self,
    flags: FileCreateFlags,
    cancellable: Option<&P>
) -> Result<FileIOStream, Error>

Creates a new file and returns a stream for reading and writing to it. The file must not already exist.

By default files created are generally readable by everyone, but if you pass FileCreateFlags::Private in flags the file will be made readable only to the current user, to the level that is supported on the target filesystem.

If cancellable is not None, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnum::Cancelled will be returned.

If a file or directory with this name already exists, the IOErrorEnum::Exists error will be returned. Some file systems don't allow all file names, and may return an IOErrorEnum::InvalidFilename error, and if the name is too long, IOErrorEnum::FilenameTooLong will be returned. Other errors are possible too, and depend on what kind of filesystem the file is on.

Note that in many non-local file cases read and write streams are not supported, so make sure you really need to do read and write streaming, rather than just opening for reading or writing.

flags

)

Asynchronously creates a new file and returns a stream for reading and writing to it. The file must not already exist.

For more details, see File::create_readwrite which is the synchronous version of this call.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call File::create_readwrite_finish to get the result of the operation.

fn delete<P: IsA<Cancellable>>(
    &self,
    cancellable: Option<&P>
) -> Result<(), Error>

Deletes a file. If the self is a directory, it will only be deleted if it is empty. This has the same semantics as g_unlink.

If cancellable is not None, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnum::Cancelled will be returned.

cancellable

optional Cancellable object, None to ignore

Returns

true if the file was deleted. false otherwise.

fn delete_async_future(
    &self,

) -> Pin<Box_<dyn Future<Output = Result<(), Error>> + 'static>>

fn dup(&self) -> Option<File>

Duplicates a File handle. This operation does not duplicate the actual file or directory represented by the File; see File::copy if attempting to copy a file.

File::dup is useful when a second handle is needed to the same underlying file, for use in a separate thread (File is not thread-safe). For use within the same thread, use gobject::ObjectExt::ref to increment the existing object’s reference count.

This call does no blocking I/O.

Returns

a new File that is a duplicate of the given File.

fn eject_mountable_with_operation<P: IsA<MountOperation>, Q: IsA<Cancellable>, R: FnOnce(Result<(), Error>) + Send + 'static>(
    &self,
    flags: MountUnmountFlags,
    mount_operation: Option<&P>,
    cancellable: Option<&Q>,
    callback: R
)

Starts an asynchronous eject on a mountable. When this operation has completed, callback will be called with user_user data, and the operation can be finalized with File::eject_mountable_with_operation_finish.

If cancellable is not None, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnum::Cancelled will be returned.

fn enumerate_children<P: IsA<Cancellable>>(
    &self,
    attributes: &str,
    flags: FileQueryInfoFlags,
    cancellable: Option<&P>
) -> Result<FileEnumerator, Error>

Gets the requested information about the files in a directory. The result is a FileEnumerator object that will give out FileInfo objects for all the files in the directory.

The attributes value is a string that specifies the file attributes that should be gathered. It is not an error if it's not possible to read a particular requested attribute from a file - it just won't be set. attributes should be a comma-separated list of attributes or attribute wildcards. The wildcard "" means all attributes, and a wildcard like "standard::" means all attributes in the standard namespace. An example attribute query be "standard::*,owner::user". The standard attributes are available as defines, like G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_NAME.

If cancellable is not None, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnum::Cancelled will be returned.

If the file does not exist, the IOErrorEnum::NotFound error will be returned. If the file is not a directory, the IOErrorEnum::NotDirectory error will be returned. Other errors are possible too.

attributes

an attribute query string

flags

a set of FileQueryInfoFlags

cancellable

optional Cancellable object, None to ignore

Returns

A FileEnumerator if successful, None on error. Free the returned object with gobject::ObjectExt::unref.

fn equal<P: IsA<File>>(&self, file2: &P) -> bool

Checks if the two given GFiles refer to the same file.

Note that two GFiles that differ can still refer to the same file on the filesystem due to various forms of filename aliasing.

This call does no blocking I/O.

file2

the second File

Returns

true if self and file2 are equal.

fn find_enclosing_mount<P: IsA<Cancellable>>(
    &self,
    cancellable: Option<&P>
) -> Result<Mount, Error>

Gets a Mount for the File.

Mount is returned only for user interesting locations, see VolumeMonitor. If the FileIface for self does not have a mount, error will be set to IOErrorEnum::NotFound and None will be returned.

If cancellable is not None, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnum::Cancelled will be returned.

cancellable

optional Cancellable object, None to ignore

Returns

a Mount where the self is located or None on error. Free the returned object with gobject::ObjectExt::unref.

fn get_basename(&self) -> Option<PathBuf>

Gets the base name (the last component of the path) for a given File.

If called for the top level of a system (such as the filesystem root or a uri like sftp://host/) it will return a single directory separator (and on Windows, possibly a drive letter).

The base name is a byte string (not UTF-8). It has no defined encoding or rules other than it may not contain zero bytes. If you want to use filenames in a user interface you should use the display name that you can get by requesting the G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_DISPLAY_NAME attribute with File::query_info.

This call does no blocking I/O.

Returns

string containing the File's base name, or None if given File is invalid. The returned string should be freed with g_free when no longer needed.

fn get_child<P: AsRef<Path>>(&self, name: P) -> Option<File>

Gets a child of self with basename equal to name.

Note that the file with that specific name might not exist, but you can still have a File that points to it. You can use this for instance to create that file.

This call does no blocking I/O.

name

string containing the child's basename

Returns

a File to a child specified by name. Free the returned object with gobject::ObjectExt::unref.

fn get_child_for_display_name(&self, display_name: &str) -> Result<File, Error>

Gets the child of self for a given display_name (i.e. a UTF-8 version of the name). If this function fails, it returns None and error will be set. This is very useful when constructing a File for a new file and the user entered the filename in the user interface, for instance when you select a directory and type a filename in the file selector.

This call does no blocking I/O.

display_name

string to a possible child

Returns

a File to the specified child, or None if the display name couldn't be converted. Free the returned object with gobject::ObjectExt::unref.

fn get_parent(&self) -> Option<File>

Gets the parent directory for the self. If the self represents the root directory of the file system, then None will be returned.

This call does no blocking I/O.

Returns

a File structure to the parent of the given File or None if there is no parent. Free the returned object with gobject::ObjectExt::unref.

fn get_parse_name(&self) -> Option<GString>

Gets the parse name of the self. A parse name is a UTF-8 string that describes the file such that one can get the File back using File::parse_name.

This is generally used to show the File as a nice full-pathname kind of string in a user interface, like in a location entry.

For local files with names that can safely be converted to UTF-8 the pathname is used, otherwise the IRI is used (a form of URI that allows UTF-8 characters unescaped).

This call does no blocking I/O.

Returns

a string containing the File's parse name. The returned string should be freed with g_free when no longer needed.

fn get_path(&self) -> Option<PathBuf>

Gets the local pathname for File, if one exists. If non-None, this is guaranteed to be an absolute, canonical path. It might contain symlinks.

This call does no blocking I/O.

Returns

string containing the File's path, or None if no such path exists. The returned string should be freed with g_free when no longer needed.

fn get_relative_path<P: IsA<File>>(&self, descendant: &P) -> Option<PathBuf>

Gets the path for descendant relative to self.

This call does no blocking I/O.

descendant

input File

Returns

string with the relative path from descendant to self, or None if descendant doesn't have self as prefix. The returned string should be freed with g_free when no longer needed.

fn get_uri(&self) -> GString

Gets the URI for the self.

This call does no blocking I/O.

Returns

a string containing the File's URI. The returned string should be freed with g_free when no longer needed.

fn get_uri_scheme(&self) -> GString

Gets the URI scheme for a File. RFC 3986 decodes the scheme as:

URI = scheme ":" hier-part [ "?" query ] [ "#" fragment ]

Common schemes include "file", "http", "ftp", etc.

This call does no blocking I/O.

Returns

a string containing the URI scheme for the given File. The returned string should be freed with g_free when no longer needed.

fn has_parent<P: IsA<File>>(&self, parent: Option<&P>) -> bool

Checks if self has a parent, and optionally, if it is parent.

If parent is None then this function returns true if self has any parent at all. If parent is non-None then true is only returned if self is an immediate child of parent.

parent

the parent to check for, or None

Returns

true if self is an immediate child of parent (or any parent in the case that parent is None).

fn has_prefix<P: IsA<File>>(&self, prefix: &P) -> bool

Checks whether self has the prefix specified by prefix.

In other words, if the names of initial elements of self's pathname match prefix. Only full pathname elements are matched, so a path like /foo is not considered a prefix of /foobar, only of /foo/bar.

A File is not a prefix of itself. If you want to check for equality, use File::equal.

This call does no I/O, as it works purely on names. As such it can sometimes return false even if self is inside a prefix (from a filesystem point of view), because the prefix of self is an alias of prefix.

prefix

input File

Returns

true if the files's parent, grandparent, etc is prefix, false otherwise.

fn has_uri_scheme(&self, uri_scheme: &str) -> bool

Checks to see if a File has a given URI scheme.

This call does no blocking I/O.

uri_scheme

a string containing a URI scheme

Returns

true if File's backend supports the given URI scheme, false if URI scheme is None, not supported, or File is invalid.

fn is_native(&self) -> bool

Checks to see if a file is native to the platform.

A native file is one expressed in the platform-native filename format, e.g. "C:\Windows" or "/usr/bin/". This does not mean the file is local, as it might be on a locally mounted remote filesystem.

On some systems non-native files may be available using the native filesystem via a userspace filesystem (FUSE), in these cases this call will return false, but File::get_path will still return a native path.

This call does no blocking I/O.

Returns

true if self is native

fn load_contents<P: IsA<Cancellable>>(
    &self,
    cancellable: Option<&P>
) -> Result<(Vec<u8>, GString), Error>

Loads the content of the file into memory. The data is always zero-terminated, but this is not included in the resultant length. The returned content should be freed with g_free when no longer needed.

If cancellable is not None, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnum::Cancelled will be returned.

cancellable

optional Cancellable object, None to ignore

contents

a location to place the contents of the file

length

a location to place the length of the contents of the file, or None if the length is not needed

etag_out

a location to place the current entity tag for the file, or None if the entity tag is not needed

Returns

true if the self's contents were successfully loaded. false if there were errors.

fn load_contents_async<P: IsA<Cancellable>, Q: FnOnce(Result<(Vec<u8>, GString), Error>) + Send + 'static>(
    &self,
    cancellable: Option<&P>,
    callback: Q
)

Starts an asynchronous load of the self's contents.

For more details, see File::load_contents which is the synchronous version of this call.

When the load operation has completed, callback will be called with user data. To finish the operation, call File::load_contents_finish with the AsyncResult returned by the callback.

If cancellable is not None, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnum::Cancelled will be returned.

cancellable

fn load_contents_async_future(
    &self
) -> Pin<Box_<dyn Future<Output = Result<(Vec<u8>, GString), Error>> + 'static>>

fn make_directory<P: IsA<Cancellable>>(
    &self,
    cancellable: Option<&P>
) -> Result<(), Error>

Creates a directory. Note that this will only create a child directory of the immediate parent directory of the path or URI given by the File. To recursively create directories, see File::make_directory_with_parents. This function will fail if the parent directory does not exist, setting error to IOErrorEnum::NotFound. If the file system doesn't support creating directories, this function will fail, setting error to IOErrorEnum::NotSupported.

For a local File the newly created directory will have the default (current) ownership and permissions of the current process.

If cancellable is not None, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnum::Cancelled will be returned.

cancellable

optional Cancellable object, None to ignore

Returns

true on successful creation, false otherwise.

fn make_directory_async<P: IsA<Cancellable>, Q: FnOnce(Result<(), Error>) + Send + 'static>(
    &self,

fn make_directory_with_parents<P: IsA<Cancellable>>(
    &self,
    cancellable: Option<&P>
) -> Result<(), Error>

Creates a directory and any parent directories that may not exist similar to 'mkdir -p'. If the file system does not support creating directories, this function will fail, setting error to IOErrorEnum::NotSupported. If the directory itself already exists, this function will fail setting error to IOErrorEnum::Exists, unlike the similar g_mkdir_with_parents.

For a local File the newly created directories will have the default (current) ownership and permissions of the current process.

If cancellable is not None, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnum::Cancelled will be returned.

cancellable

optional Cancellable object, None to ignore

Returns

true if all directories have been successfully created, false otherwise.

Creates a symbolic link named self which contains the string symlink_value.

If cancellable is not None, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnum::Cancelled will be returned.

a string with the path for the target of the new symlink

cancellable

optional Cancellable object, None to ignore

Returns

true on the creation of a new symlink, false otherwise.

fn measure_disk_usage<P: IsA<Cancellable>>(
    &self,
    flags: FileMeasureFlags,
    cancellable: Option<&P>,
    progress_callback: Option<Box_<dyn Fn(bool, u64, u64, u64) + 'static>>
) -> Result<(u64, u64, u64), Error>

Recursively measures the disk usage of self.

This is essentially an analog of the 'du' command, but it also reports the number of directories and non-directory files encountered (including things like symbolic links).

By default, errors are only reported against the toplevel file itself. Errors found while recursing are silently ignored, unless FileMeasureFlags::ReportAnyError is given in flags.

The returned size, disk_usage, is in bytes and should be formatted with g_format_size in order to get something reasonable for showing in a user interface.

progress_callback and progress_data can be given to request periodic progress updates while scanning. See the documentation for GFileMeasureProgressCallback for information about when and how the callback will be invoked.

flags

FileMeasureFlags

cancellable

optional Cancellable

progress_callback

a GFileMeasureProgressCallback

progress_data

user_data for progress_callback

disk_usage

Returns

true if successful, with the out parameters set. false otherwise, with error set.

fn monitor<P: IsA<Cancellable>>(
    &self,
    flags: FileMonitorFlags,
    cancellable: Option<&P>
) -> Result<FileMonitor, Error>

Obtains a file or directory monitor for the given file, depending on the type of the file.

If cancellable is not None, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnum::Cancelled will be returned.

flags

a set of FileMonitorFlags

cancellable

optional Cancellable object, None to ignore

Returns

a FileMonitor for the given self, or None on error. Free the returned object with gobject::ObjectExt::unref.

fn monitor_directory<P: IsA<Cancellable>>(
    &self,
    flags: FileMonitorFlags,
    cancellable: Option<&P>
) -> Result<FileMonitor, Error>

Obtains a directory monitor for the given file. This may fail if directory monitoring is not supported.

If cancellable is not None, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnum::Cancelled will be returned.

It does not make sense for flags to contain FileMonitorFlags::WatchHardLinks, since hard links can not be made to directories. It is not possible to monitor all the files in a directory for changes made via hard links; if you want to do this then you must register individual watches with File::monitor.

flags

a set of FileMonitorFlags

cancellable

optional Cancellable object, None to ignore

Returns

a FileMonitor for the given self, or None on error. Free the returned object with gobject::ObjectExt::unref.

fn monitor_file<P: IsA<Cancellable>>(
    &self,
    flags: FileMonitorFlags,
    cancellable: Option<&P>
) -> Result<FileMonitor, Error>

Obtains a file monitor for the given file. If no file notification mechanism exists, then regular polling of the file is used.

If cancellable is not None, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnum::Cancelled will be returned.

If flags contains FileMonitorFlags::WatchHardLinks then the monitor will also attempt to report changes made to the file via another filename (ie, a hard link). Without this flag, you can only rely on changes made through the filename contained in self to be reported. Using this flag may result in an increase in resource usage, and may not have any effect depending on the FileMonitor backend and/or filesystem type.

flags

a set of FileMonitorFlags

cancellable

optional Cancellable object, None to ignore

Returns

a FileMonitor for the given self, or None on error. Free the returned object with gobject::ObjectExt::unref.

fn mount_enclosing_volume<P: IsA<MountOperation>, Q: IsA<Cancellable>, R: FnOnce(Result<(), Error>) + Send + 'static>(
    &self,
    flags: MountMountFlags,
    mount_operation: Option<&P>,
    cancellable: Option<&Q>,
    callback: R
)

Starts a mount_operation, mounting the volume that contains the file self.

When this operation has completed, callback will be called with user_user data, and the operation can be finalized with File::mount_enclosing_volume_finish.

If cancellable is not None, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnum::Cancelled will be returned.

    cancellable: Option<&Q>,
    callback: R
)

Mounts a file of type G_FILE_TYPE_MOUNTABLE. Using mount_operation, you can request callbacks when, for instance, passwords are needed during authentication.

If cancellable is not None, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnum::Cancelled will be returned.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call File::mount_mountable_finish to get the result of the operation.

fn open_readwrite<P: IsA<Cancellable>>(
    &self,
    cancellable: Option<&P>
) -> Result<FileIOStream, Error>

Opens an existing file for reading and writing. The result is a FileIOStream that can be used to read and write the contents of the file.

If cancellable is not None, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnum::Cancelled will be returned.

If the file does not exist, the IOErrorEnum::NotFound error will be returned. If the file is a directory, the IOErrorEnum::IsDirectory error will be returned. Other errors are possible too, and depend on what kind of filesystem the file is on. Note that in many non-local file cases read and write streams are not supported, so make sure you really need to do read and write streaming, rather than just opening for reading or writing.

cancellable

Returns

FileIOStream or None on error. Free the returned object with gobject::ObjectExt::unref.

    callback: Q
)

Asynchronously opens self for reading and writing.

) -> Result<AppInfo, Error>

Returns the AppInfo that is registered as the default application to handle the file specified by self.

If cancellable is not None, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnum::Cancelled will be returned.

cancellable

Returns

a AppInfo if the handle was found, None if there were errors. When you are done with it, release it with gobject::ObjectExt::unref

fn query_exists<P: IsA<Cancellable>>(&self, cancellable: Option<&P>) -> bool

Utility function to check if a particular file exists. This is implemented using File::query_info and as such does blocking I/O.

Note that in many cases it is racy to first check for file existence and then execute something based on the outcome of that, because the file might have been created or removed in between the operations. The general approach to handling that is to not check, but just do the operation and handle the errors as they come.

As an example of race-free checking, take the case of reading a file, and if it doesn't exist, creating it. There are two racy versions: read it, and on error create it; and: check if it exists, if not create it. These can both result in two processes creating the file (with perhaps a partially written file as the result). The correct approach is to always try to create the file with File::create which will either atomically create the file or fail with a IOErrorEnum::Exists error.

However, in many cases an existence check is useful in a user interface, for instance to make a menu item sensitive/insensitive, so that you don't have to fool users that something is possible and then just show an error dialog. If you do this, you should make sure to also handle the errors that can happen due to races when you execute the operation.

cancellable

optional Cancellable object, None to ignore

Returns

true if the file exists (and can be detected without error), false otherwise (or if cancelled).

fn query_file_type<P: IsA<Cancellable>>(
    &self,
    flags: FileQueryInfoFlags,
    cancellable: Option<&P>
) -> FileType

Utility function to inspect the FileType of a file. This is implemented using File::query_info and as such does blocking I/O.

The primary use case of this method is to check if a file is a regular file, directory, or symlink.

flags

a set of FileQueryInfoFlags passed to File::query_info

cancellable

optional Cancellable object, None to ignore

Returns

The FileType of the file and FileType::Unknown if the file does not exist

fn query_filesystem_info<P: IsA<Cancellable>>(
    &self,
    attributes: &str,
    cancellable: Option<&P>
) -> Result<FileInfo, Error>

Similar to File::query_info, but obtains information about the filesystem the self is on, rather than the file itself. For instance the amount of space available and the type of the filesystem.

The attributes value is a string that specifies the attributes that should be gathered. It is not an error if it's not possible to read a particular requested attribute from a file - it just won't be set. attributes should be a comma-separated list of attributes or attribute wildcards. The wildcard "" means all attributes, and a wildcard like "filesystem::" means all attributes in the filesystem namespace. The standard namespace for filesystem attributes is "filesystem". Common attributes of interest are G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_FILESYSTEM_SIZE (the total size of the filesystem in bytes), G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_FILESYSTEM_FREE (number of bytes available), and G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_FILESYSTEM_TYPE (type of the filesystem).

If cancellable is not None, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnum::Cancelled will be returned.

If the file does not exist, the IOErrorEnum::NotFound error will be returned. Other errors are possible too, and depend on what kind of filesystem the file is on.

attributes

an attribute query string

cancellable

optional Cancellable object, None to ignore

Returns

fn query_filesystem_info_async<P: IsA<Cancellable>, Q: FnOnce(Result<FileInfo, Error>) + Send + 'static>(
    &self,
    attributes: &str,
    io_priority: Priority,
    cancellable: Option<&P>,
    callback: Q
)

Asynchronously gets the requested information about the filesystem that the specified self is on. The result is a FileInfo object that contains key-value attributes (such as type or size for the file).

For more details, see File::query_filesystem_info which is the synchronous version of this call.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call File::query_info_finish to get the result of the operation.

fn query_info<P: IsA<Cancellable>>(
    &self,
    attributes: &str,
    flags: FileQueryInfoFlags,
    cancellable: Option<&P>
) -> Result<FileInfo, Error>

Gets the requested information about specified self. The result is a FileInfo object that contains key-value attributes (such as the type or size of the file).

The attributes value is a string that specifies the file attributes that should be gathered. It is not an error if it's not possible to read a particular requested attribute from a file - it just won't be set. attributes should be a comma-separated list of attributes or attribute wildcards. The wildcard "" means all attributes, and a wildcard like "standard::" means all attributes in the standard namespace. An example attribute query be "standard::*,owner::user". The standard attributes are available as defines, like G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_NAME.

If cancellable is not None, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnum::Cancelled will be returned.

For symlinks, normally the information about the target of the symlink is returned, rather than information about the symlink itself. However if you pass FileQueryInfoFlags::NofollowSymlinks in flags the information about the symlink itself will be returned. Also, for symlinks that point to non-existing files the information about the symlink itself will be returned.

If the file does not exist, the IOErrorEnum::NotFound error will be returned. Other errors are possible too, and depend on what kind of filesystem the file is on.

attributes

Asynchronously gets the requested information about specified self. The result is a FileInfo object that contains key-value attributes (such as type or size for the file).

For more details, see File::query_info which is the synchronous version of this call.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call File::query_info_finish to get the result of the operation.

fn read<P: IsA<Cancellable>>(
    &self,
    cancellable: Option<&P>
) -> Result<FileInputStream, Error>

Opens a file for reading. The result is a FileInputStream that can be used to read the contents of the file.

If cancellable is not None, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnum::Cancelled will be returned.

If the file does not exist, the IOErrorEnum::NotFound error will be returned. If the file is a directory, the IOErrorEnum::IsDirectory error will be returned. Other errors are possible too, and depend on what kind of filesystem the file is on.

)

Asynchronously opens self for reading.

fn replace<P: IsA<Cancellable>>(
    &self,
    etag: Option<&str>,
    make_backup: bool,
    flags: FileCreateFlags,
    cancellable: Option<&P>
) -> Result<FileOutputStream, Error>

Returns an output stream for overwriting the file, possibly creating a backup copy of the file first. If the file doesn't exist, it will be created.

This will try to replace the file in the safest way possible so that any errors during the writing will not affect an already existing copy of the file. For instance, for local files it may write to a temporary file and then atomically rename over the destination when the stream is closed.

By default files created are generally readable by everyone, but if you pass FileCreateFlags::Private in flags the file will be made readable only to the current user, to the level that is supported on the target filesystem.

If cancellable is not None, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnum::Cancelled will be returned.

If you pass in a non-None etag value and self already exists, then this value is compared to the current entity tag of the file, and if they differ an IOErrorEnum::WrongEtag error is returned. This generally means that the file has been changed since you last read it. You can get the new etag from FileOutputStreamExt::get_etag after you've finished writing and closed the FileOutputStream. When you load a new file you can use FileInputStreamExt::query_info to get the etag of the file.

If make_backup is true, this function will attempt to make a backup of the current file before overwriting it. If this fails a IOErrorEnum::CantCreateBackup error will be returned. If you want to replace anyway, try again with make_backup set to false.

If the file is a directory the IOErrorEnum::IsDirectory error will be returned, and if the file is some other form of non-regular file then a IOErrorEnum::NotRegularFile error will be returned. Some file systems don't allow all file names, and may return an IOErrorEnum::InvalidFilename error, and if the name is to long IOErrorEnum::FilenameTooLong will be returned. Other errors are possible too, and depend on what kind of filesystem the file is on.

etag

    contents: &[u8],
    etag: Option<&str>,
    make_backup: bool,
    flags: FileCreateFlags,
    cancellable: Option<&P>
) -> Result<GString, Error>

Replaces the contents of self with contents of length bytes.

If etag is specified (not None), any existing file must have that etag, or the error IOErrorEnum::WrongEtag will be returned.

If make_backup is true, this function will attempt to make a backup of self. Internally, it uses File::replace, so will try to replace the file contents in the safest way possible. For example, atomic renames are used when replacing local files’ contents.

If cancellable is not None, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnum::Cancelled will be returned.

The returned new_etag can be used to verify that the file hasn't changed the next time it is saved over.

    cancellable: Option<&P>
) -> Result<FileIOStream, Error>

Returns an output stream for overwriting the file in readwrite mode, possibly creating a backup copy of the file first. If the file doesn't exist, it will be created.

For details about the behaviour, see File::replace which does the same thing but returns an output stream only.

Note that in many non-local file cases read and write streams are not supported, so make sure you really need to do read and write streaming, rather than just opening for reading or writing.

Renames self to the specified display name.

The display name is converted from UTF-8 to the correct encoding for the target filesystem if possible and the self is renamed to this.

If you want to implement a rename operation in the user interface the edit name (G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_EDIT_NAME) should be used as the initial value in the rename widget, and then the result after editing should be passed to File::set_display_name.

On success the resulting converted filename is returned.

If cancellable is not None, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnum::Cancelled will be returned.

fn supports_thread_contexts(&self) -> bool

Checks if self supports [thread-default contexts][g-main-context-push-thread-default-context]. If this returns false, you cannot perform asynchronous operations on self in a thread that has a thread-default context.

Returns

Whether or not self supports thread-default contexts.

fn trash<P: IsA<Cancellable>>(
    &self,
    cancellable: Option<&P>
) -> Result<(), Error>

Sends self to the "Trashcan", if possible. This is similar to deleting it, but the user can recover it before emptying the trashcan. Not all file systems support trashing, so this call can return the IOErrorEnum::NotSupported error.

If cancellable is not None, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnum::Cancelled will be returned.
