Method

GioFilepeek_path

since: 2.56

Declaration [src]

const char*
g_file_peek_path (
  GFile* file
)

Description [src]

Exactly like g_file_get_path(), but caches the result via g_object_set_qdata_full(). This is useful for example in C applications which mix g_file_* APIs with native ones. It also avoids an extra duplicated string when possible, so will be generally more efficient.

This call does no blocking I/O.

Available since: 2.56

Return value

Type: const char*

String containing the GFile‘s path, or NULL if no such path exists. The returned string is owned by file.

The returned data is owned by the instance.

The return value can be NULL.

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