64 * @title: File Utilities
65 * @short_description: various file-related functions
67 * There is a group of functions which wrap the common POSIX functions
68 * dealing with filenames (g_open(), g_rename(), g_mkdir(), g_stat(),
69 * g_unlink(), g_remove(), g_fopen(), g_freopen()). The point of these
70 * wrappers is to make it possible to handle file names with any Unicode
71 * characters in them on Windows without having to use ifdefs and the
72 * wide character API in the application code.
74 * The pathname argument should be in the GLib file name encoding.
75 * On POSIX this is the actual on-disk encoding which might correspond
76 * to the locale settings of the process (or the
77 * <envar>G_FILENAME_ENCODING</envar> environment variable), or not.
79 * On Windows the GLib file name encoding is UTF-8. Note that the
80 * Microsoft C library does not use UTF-8, but has separate APIs for
81 * current system code page and wide characters (UTF-16). The GLib
82 * wrappers call the wide character API if present (on modern Windows
83 * systems), otherwise convert to/from the system code page.
85 * Another group of functions allows to open and read directories
86 * in the GLib file name encoding. These are g_dir_open(),
87 * g_dir_read_name(), g_dir_rewind(), g_dir_close().
92 * @G_FILE_ERROR_EXIST: Operation not permitted; only the owner of
93 * the file (or other resource) or processes with special privileges
94 * can perform the operation.
95 * @G_FILE_ERROR_ISDIR: File is a directory; you cannot open a directory
96 * for writing, or create or remove hard links to it.
97 * @G_FILE_ERROR_ACCES: Permission denied; the file permissions do not
98 * allow the attempted operation.
99 * @G_FILE_ERROR_NAMETOOLONG: Filename too long.
100 * @G_FILE_ERROR_NOENT: No such file or directory. This is a "file
101 * doesn't exist" error for ordinary files that are referenced in
102 * contexts where they are expected to already exist.
103 * @G_FILE_ERROR_NOTDIR: A file that isn't a directory was specified when
104 * a directory is required.
105 * @G_FILE_ERROR_NXIO: No such device or address. The system tried to
106 * use the device represented by a file you specified, and it
107 * couldn't find the device. This can mean that the device file was
108 * installed incorrectly, or that the physical device is missing or
109 * not correctly attached to the computer.
110 * @G_FILE_ERROR_NODEV: The underlying file system of the specified file
111 * does not support memory mapping.
112 * @G_FILE_ERROR_ROFS: The directory containing the new link can't be
113 * modified because it's on a read-only file system.
114 * @G_FILE_ERROR_TXTBSY: Text file busy.
115 * @G_FILE_ERROR_FAULT: You passed in a pointer to bad memory.
116 * (GLib won't reliably return this, don't pass in pointers to bad
118 * @G_FILE_ERROR_LOOP: Too many levels of symbolic links were encountered
119 * in looking up a file name. This often indicates a cycle of symbolic
121 * @G_FILE_ERROR_NOSPC: No space left on device; write operation on a
122 * file failed because the disk is full.
123 * @G_FILE_ERROR_NOMEM: No memory available. The system cannot allocate
124 * more virtual memory because its capacity is full.
125 * @G_FILE_ERROR_MFILE: The current process has too many files open and
126 * can't open any more. Duplicate descriptors do count toward this
128 * @G_FILE_ERROR_NFILE: There are too many distinct file openings in the
130 * @G_FILE_ERROR_BADF: Bad file descriptor; for example, I/O on a
131 * descriptor that has been closed or reading from a descriptor open
132 * only for writing (or vice versa).
133 * @G_FILE_ERROR_INVAL: Invalid argument. This is used to indicate
134 * various kinds of problems with passing the wrong argument to a
136 * @G_FILE_ERROR_PIPE: Broken pipe; there is no process reading from the
137 * other end of a pipe. Every library function that returns this
138 * error code also generates a 'SIGPIPE' signal; this signal
139 * terminates the program if not handled or blocked. Thus, your
140 * program will never actually see this code unless it has handled
141 * or blocked 'SIGPIPE'.
142 * @G_FILE_ERROR_AGAIN: Resource temporarily unavailable; the call might
143 * work if you try again later.
144 * @G_FILE_ERROR_INTR: Interrupted function call; an asynchronous signal
145 * occurred and prevented completion of the call. When this
146 * happens, you should try the call again.
147 * @G_FILE_ERROR_IO: Input/output error; usually used for physical read
148 * or write errors. i.e. the disk or other physical device hardware
149 * is returning errors.
150 * @G_FILE_ERROR_PERM: Operation not permitted; only the owner of the
151 * file (or other resource) or processes with special privileges can
152 * perform the operation.
153 * @G_FILE_ERROR_NOSYS: Function not implemented; this indicates that
154 * the system is missing some functionality.
155 * @G_FILE_ERROR_FAILED: Does not correspond to a UNIX error code; this
156 * is the standard "failed for unspecified reason" error code present
157 * in all #GError error code enumerations. Returned if no specific
160 * Values corresponding to @errno codes returned from file operations
161 * on UNIX. Unlike @errno codes, GFileError values are available on
162 * all systems, even Windows. The exact meaning of each code depends
163 * on what sort of file operation you were performing; the UNIX
164 * documentation gives more details. The following error code descriptions
165 * come from the GNU C Library manual, and are under the copyright
168 * It's not very portable to make detailed assumptions about exactly
169 * which errors will be returned from a given operation. Some errors
170 * don't occur on some systems, etc., sometimes there are subtle
171 * differences in when a system will report a given error, etc.
177 * Error domain for file operations. Errors in this domain will
178 * be from the #GFileError enumeration. See #GError for information
184 * @G_FILE_TEST_IS_REGULAR: %TRUE if the file is a regular file
185 * (not a directory). Note that this test will also return %TRUE
186 * if the tested file is a symlink to a regular file.
187 * @G_FILE_TEST_IS_SYMLINK: %TRUE if the file is a symlink.
188 * @G_FILE_TEST_IS_DIR: %TRUE if the file is a directory.
189 * @G_FILE_TEST_IS_EXECUTABLE: %TRUE if the file is executable.
190 * @G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS: %TRUE if the file exists. It may or may not
193 * A test to perform on a file using g_file_test().
197 * g_mkdir_with_parents:
198 * @pathname: a pathname in the GLib file name encoding
199 * @mode: permissions to use for newly created directories
201 * Create a directory if it doesn't already exist. Create intermediate
202 * parent directories as needed, too.
204 * Returns: 0 if the directory already exists, or was successfully
205 * created. Returns -1 if an error occurred, with errno set.

270 * @filename: a filename to test in the GLib file name encoding
271 * @test: bitfield of #GFileTest flags
273 * Returns %TRUE if any of the tests in the bitfield @test are
274 * %TRUE. For example, <literal>(G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS |
275 * G_FILE_TEST_IS_DIR)</literal> will return %TRUE if the file exists;
276 * the check whether it's a directory doesn't matter since the existence
277 * test is %TRUE. With the current set of available tests, there's no point
278 * passing in more than one test at a time.
280 * Apart from %G_FILE_TEST_IS_SYMLINK all tests follow symbolic links,
281 * so for a symbolic link to a regular file g_file_test() will return
282 * %TRUE for both %G_FILE_TEST_IS_SYMLINK and %G_FILE_TEST_IS_REGULAR.
284 * Note, that for a dangling symbolic link g_file_test() will return
285 * %TRUE for %G_FILE_TEST_IS_SYMLINK and %FALSE for all other flags.
287 * You should never use g_file_test() to test whether it is safe
288 * to perform an operation, because there is always the possibility
289 * of the condition changing before you actually perform the operation.
290 * For example, you might think you could use %G_FILE_TEST_IS_SYMLINK
291 * to know whether it is safe to write to a file without being
292 * tricked into writing into a different location. It doesn't work!

295 * if (!g_file_test (filename, G_FILE_TEST_IS_SYMLINK))
297 * fd = g_open (filename, O_WRONLY);
298 * /* write to fd */
302 * Another thing to note is that %G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS and
303 * %G_FILE_TEST_IS_EXECUTABLE are implemented using the access()
304 * system call. This usually doesn't matter, but if your program
305 * is setuid or setgid it means that these tests will give you
306 * the answer for the real user ID and group ID, rather than the
307 * effective user ID and group ID.
309 * On Windows, there are no symlinks, so testing for
310 * %G_FILE_TEST_IS_SYMLINK will always return %FALSE. Testing for
311 * %G_FILE_TEST_IS_EXECUTABLE will just check that the file exists and
312 * its name indicates that it is executable, checking for well-known
313 * extensions and those listed in the <envar>PATHEXT</envar> environment variable.
315 * Return value: whether a test was %TRUE

2132 * g_path_is_absolute:
2133 * @file_name: a file name
2135 * Returns %TRUE if the given @file_name is an absolute file name.
2136 * Note that this is a somewhat vague concept on Windows.
2138 * On POSIX systems, an absolute file name is well-defined. It always
2139 * starts from the single root directory. For example "/usr/local".
2141 * On Windows, the concepts of current drive and drive-specific
2142 * current directory introduce vagueness. This function interprets as
2143 * an absolute file name one that either begins with a directory
2144 * separator such as "\Users\tml" or begins with the root on a drive,
2145 * for example "C:\Windows". The first case also includes UNC paths
2146 * such as "\\myserver\docs\foo". In all cases, either slashes or
2147 * backslashes are accepted.
2149 * Note that a file name relative to the current drive root does not
2150 * truly specify a file uniquely over time and across processes, as
2151 * the current drive is a per-process value and can be changed.
2153 * File names relative the current directory on some specific drive,
2154 * such as "D:foo/bar", are not interpreted as absolute by this
2155 * function, but they obviously are not relative to the normal current
2156 * directory as returned by getcwd() or g_get_current_dir()
2157 * either. Such paths should be avoided, or need to be handled using
2158 * Windows-specific code.
