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.

Note that for commandline, 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

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.

The application name, or NULL to use commandline.

The argument can be NULL.

Type: GAppInfoCreateFlags

error

Type: GError **

The return location for a recoverable error.

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.
