Class
GioDesktopAppInfo
Description
final class Gio.DesktopAppInfo : GObject.Object {
/* No available fields */
}GDesktopAppInfo is an implementation of GAppInfo based on
desktop files.
Note that <gio/gdesktopappinfo.h> belongs to the UNIX-specific
GIO interfaces, thus you have to use the gio-unix-2.0.pc pkg-config
file or the GioUnix-2.0 GIR namespace when using it.
