Function

GioAppInfocreate_from_commandline

Declaration [src] 

GAppInfo*
g_app_info_create_from_commandline (
  const char* commandline,
  const char* application_name,
  GAppInfoCreateFlags flags,
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

Creates a new GAppInfo from the given information.

When constructing commandline, quote any filenames or potentially- untrusted input using g_shell_quote(), and note that the quoting rules of the Exec key of the freedesktop.org Desktop Entry Specification are applied. For example, if the commandline contains percent-encoded URIs, the percent-character must be doubled in order to prevent it from being swallowed by Exec key unquoting. See the specification for exact quoting rules.

Parameters

commandline

Type: const char*

The command line to use.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.
The value is a platform-native string, using the preferred OS encoding on Unix and UTF-8 on Windows.
application_name

Type: const char*

The application name, or NULL to use commandline.

The argument can be NULL.
The data is owned by the caller of the function.
The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
flags

Type: GAppInfoCreateFlags

Flags that can specify details of the created GAppInfo.

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 function 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: GAppInfo

New GAppInfo for given command.

The caller of the function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
