GioUnix – 2.0

GDesktopAppInfo is an implementation of GAppInfo based on desktop files.

This GSocketControlMessage contains a GUnixFDList. It may be sent using g_socket_send_message() and received using g_socket_receive_message() over UNIX sockets (ie: sockets in the G_SOCKET_FAMILY_UNIX family). The file descriptors are copied between processes by the kernel.

GUnixInputStream implements GInputStream for reading from a UNIX file descriptor, including asynchronous operations. (If the file descriptor refers to a socket or pipe, this will use poll() to do asynchronous I/O. If it refers to a regular file, it will fall back to doing asynchronous I/O in another thread.)

Watches GUnixMounts for changes.

GUnixOutputStream implements GOutputStream for writing to a UNIX file descriptor, including asynchronous operations. (If the file descriptor refers to a socket or pipe, this will use poll() to do asynchronous I/O. If it refers to a regular file, it will fall back to doing asynchronous I/O in another thread.)

GDesktopAppInfoLookup is an opaque data structure and can only be accessed using the following functions.

GFileDescriptorBased is an interface for file descriptor based IO.

Defines a Unix mount entry (e.g. /media/cdrom). This corresponds roughly to a mtab entry.

Defines a Unix mount point (e.g. /dev). This corresponds roughly to a fstab entry.

During invocation, g_desktop_app_info_launch_uris_as_manager() may create one or more child processes. This callback is invoked once for each, providing the process ID.

Determines if mount_path is considered an implementation of the OS. This is primarily used for hiding mountable and mounted volumes that only are used in the OS and has little to no relevance to the casual user.

Determines if device_path is considered a block device path which is only used in implementation of the OS. This is primarily used for hiding mounted volumes that are intended as APIs for programs to read, and system administrators at a shell; rather than something that should, for example, appear in a GUI. For example, the Linux /proc filesystem.

Determines if fs_type is considered a type of file system which is only used in implementation of the OS. This is primarily used for hiding mounted volumes that are intended as APIs for programs to read, and system administrators at a shell; rather than something that should, for example, appear in a GUI. For example, the Linux /proc filesystem.

Gets a GUnixMountEntry for a given mount path. If time_read is set, it will be filled with a unix timestamp for checking if the mounts have changed since with g_unix_mounts_changed_since().

Compares two unix mounts.

Makes a copy of mount_entry.

since: 2.54

Gets a GUnixMountEntry for a given file path. If time_read is set, it will be filled with a unix timestamp for checking if the mounts have changed since with g_unix_mounts_changed_since().

since: 2.52

Frees a unix mount.

Gets the device path for a unix mount.

Gets the filesystem type for the unix mount.

Gets the mount path for a unix mount.

Gets a comma-separated list of mount options for the unix mount. For example, rw,relatime,seclabel,data=ordered.

since: 2.58

Gets the root of the mount within the filesystem. This is useful e.g. for mounts created by bind operation, or btrfs subvolumes.

since: 2.60

Guesses whether a Unix mount can be ejected.

Guesses the icon of a Unix mount.

Guesses the name of a Unix mount. The result is a translated string.

Guesses whether a Unix mount should be displayed in the UI.

Guesses the symbolic icon of a Unix mount.

since: 2.34

Checks if a unix mount is mounted read only.

Checks if a Unix mount is a system mount. This is the Boolean OR of g_unix_is_system_fs_type(), g_unix_is_system_device_path() and g_unix_is_mount_path_system_internal() on mount_entry’s properties.

Checks if the unix mount points have changed since a given unix time.

Gets a GList of GUnixMountPoint containing the unix mount points. If time_read is set, it will be filled with the mount timestamp, allowing for checking if the mounts have changed with g_unix_mount_points_changed_since().

Checks if the unix mounts have changed since a given unix time.

Gets a GList of GUnixMountEntry containing the unix mounts. If time_read is set, it will be filled with the mount timestamp, allowing for checking if the mounts have changed with g_unix_mounts_changed_since().

Extension point for default handler to URI association. See [Extending GIO][extending-gio].
