Function

GLibUrisplit_network

since: 2.66

Declaration

gboolean
g_uri_split_network (
  const gchar* uri_string,
  GUriFlags flags,
  gchar** scheme,
  gchar** host,
  gint* port,
  GError** error
)

Description

Parses uri_string (which must be an absolute URI) according to flags, and returns the pieces relevant to connecting to a host. See the documentation for g_uri_split() for more details; this is mostly a wrapper around that function with simpler arguments. However, it will return an error if uri_string is a relative URI, or does not contain a hostname component.

Available since: 2.66

On return, contains the host, or NULL.

The argument will be set by the function.

The argument will be set by the function.
The argument can be NULL.
error

Type: GError **

The return location for a recoverable error.

The argument can be NULL.

The argument will 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: gboolean
