Struct gio::FileInfo[][src]

pub struct FileInfo(_);
Expand description

Functionality for manipulating basic metadata for files. FileInfo implements methods for getting information that all files should contain, and allows for manipulation of extended attributes.

See [GFileAttribute][gio-GFileAttribute] for more information on how GIO handles file attributes.

To obtain a FileInfo for a File, use FileExt::query_info() (or its async variant). To obtain a FileInfo for a file input or output stream, use FileInputStreamExt::query_info() or FileOutputStreamExt::query_info() (or their async variants).

To change the actual attributes of a file, you should then set the attribute in the FileInfo and call FileExt::set_attributes_from_info() or FileExt::set_attributes_async() on a GFile.

However, not all attributes can be changed in the file. For instance, the actual size of a file cannot be changed via set_size(). You may call g_file_query_settable_attributes() and g_file_query_writable_namespaces() to discover the settable attributes of a particular file at runtime.

FileAttributeMatcher allows for searching through a FileInfo for attributes.

Implementations

Gets the modification time of the current self and sets it in result.

Deprecated since 2.62

Use modification_date_time() instead, as GTimeVal is deprecated due to the year 2038 problem.

Returns

result

a GTimeVal.

Sets the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TIME_MODIFIED and FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TIME_MODIFIED_USEC attributes in the file info to the given time value.

Deprecated since 2.62

Use set_modification_date_time() instead, as GTimeVal is deprecated due to the year 2038 problem.

Returns

a string containing the edit name.

Gets the [entity tag][gfile-etag] for a given FileInfo. See FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ETAG_VALUE.

Returns

a string containing the value of the “etag:value” attribute.

Gets a file’s type (whether it is a regular file, symlink, etc). This is different from the file’s content type, see content_type().

Returns

a FileType for the given file.

Gets the icon for a file.

Returns

Icon for the given self.

Checks if a file is a backup file.

Returns

true if file is a backup file, false otherwise.

This requires the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TIME_MODIFIED attribute. If FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TIME_MODIFIED_USEC is provided, the resulting glib::DateTime will have microsecond precision.

Returns

modification time, or None if unknown

Gets the name for a file. This is guaranteed to always be set.

Returns

a string containing the file name.

Gets the file’s size (in bytes). The size is retrieved through the value of the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_SIZE attribute and is converted from guint64 to goffset before returning the result.
