g_app_info_set_as_default_for_extension (
  GAppInfo* appinfo,
  const char* extension,
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

Sets the application as the default handler for the given file extension.

Parameters

extension

Type: const char*

A string containing the file extension (without the dot).

The data is owned by the caller of the method.

The value is a platform-native string, using the preferred OS encoding on Unix and UTF-8 on Windows.

error

Type: GError **

The return location for a recoverable error.

The argument can be NULL.

If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to a NULL GError*.

The argument will be left initialized to NULL by the method if there are no errors.

In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

Return value

Type: gboolean

TRUE on success, FALSE on error.
