Method

GLibKeyFilehas_key

since: 2.6

Declaration

gboolean
g_key_file_has_key (
  GKeyFile* key_file,
  const gchar* group_name,
  const gchar* key,
  GError** error
)

Description

Looks whether the key file has the key key in the group group_name.

Note that this function does not follow the rules for GError strictly; the return value both carries meaning and signals an error. To use this function, you must pass a GError pointer in error, and check whether it is not NULL to see if an error occurred.

Language bindings should use g_key_file_get_value() to test whether or not a key exists.

Available since: 2.6

This method is not directly available to language bindings.

Parameters

group_name

Type: const gchar*

A group name.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.
The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
key

Type: const gchar*

A key name.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.
The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
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 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 if key is a part of group_name, FALSE otherwise.
