Function

GLibUriis_valid

Declaration

gboolean
g_uri_is_valid (
  const gchar* uri_string,
  GUriFlags flags,
  GError** error
)

Description

Parses uri_string according to flags, to determine whether it is a valid [absolute URI][relative-absolute-uris], i.e. it does not need to be resolved relative to another URI using g_uri_parse_relative().

If it’s not a valid URI, an error is returned explaining how it’s invalid.

See g_uri_split(), and the definition of GUriFlags, for more information on the effect of flags.
