Virtual Method
GioFileprefix_matches
Declaration [src]
gboolean
prefix_matches (
GFile* prefix,
GFile* file
)
Description [src]
Checks whether file
has the prefix specified by prefix
.
In other words, if the names of initial elements of file
‘s
pathname match prefix
. Only full pathname elements are matched,
so a path like /foo is not considered a prefix of /foobar, only
of /foo/bar.
A GFile
is not a prefix of itself. If you want to check for
equality, use g_file_equal().
This call does no I/O, as it works purely on names. As such it can
sometimes return FALSE
even if file
is inside a prefix
(from a
filesystem point of view), because the prefix of file
is an alias
of prefix
.
