Declaration [src]
GDesktopAppInfo*
g_desktop_app_info_new (
const char* desktop_id
)
Description [src]
Creates a new GDesktopAppInfo based on a desktop file ID.
A desktop file ID is the basename of the desktop file, including the
.desktop extension. GIO is looking for a desktop file with this name
in the applications subdirectories of the XDG
data directories (i.e. the directories specified in the XDG_DATA_HOME
and XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variables). GIO also supports the
prefix-to-subdirectory mapping that is described in the
Menu Spec
(i.e. a desktop ID of kde-foo.desktop will match
/usr/share/applications/kde/foo.desktop).
Parameters
desktop_id-
Type:
const char*The desktop file ID.
The data is owned by the caller of the function. The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
Return value
Type: GDesktopAppInfo
A new GDesktopAppInfo, or NULL if no
desktop file with that ID exists.
| The caller of the function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it. |
The return value can be NULL. |
