60 * @filename: a pathname in the GLib file name encoding (UTF-8 on Windows)
61 * @mode: as in access()
63 * A wrapper for the POSIX access() function. This function is used to
64 * test a pathname for one or several of read, write or execute
65 * permissions, or just existence.
67 * On Windows, the file protection mechanism is not at all POSIX-like,
68 * and the underlying function in the C library only checks the
69 * FAT-style READONLY attribute, and does not look at the ACL of a
70 * file at all. This function is this in practise almost useless on
71 * Windows. Software that needs to handle file permissions on Windows
72 * more exactly should use the Win32 API.
74 * See your C library manual for more details about access().
76 * Returns: zero if the pathname refers to an existing file system
77 * object that has all the tested permissions, or -1 otherwise or on

87 wchar_t *wfilename = g_utf8_to_utf16 (filename, -1, NULL, NULL, NULL);

109 return access (filename, mode);
115 * @filename: a pathname in the GLib file name encoding (UTF-8 on Windows)
116 * @mode: as in chmod()
118 * A wrapper for the POSIX chmod() function. The chmod() function is
119 * used to set the permissions of a file system object.
121 * On Windows the file protection mechanism is not at all POSIX-like,
122 * and the underlying chmod() function in the C library just sets or
123 * clears the FAT-style READONLY attribute. It does not touch any
124 * ACL. Software that needs to manage file permissions on Windows
125 * exactly should use the Win32 API.
127 * See your C library manual for more details about chmod().
129 * Returns: zero if the operation succeeded, -1 on error.

161 * @filename: a pathname in the GLib file name encoding (UTF-8 on Windows)
162 * @flags: as in open()
163 * @mode: as in open()
165 * A wrapper for the POSIX open() function. The open() function is
166 * used to convert a pathname into a file descriptor.
168 * On POSIX systems file descriptors are implemented by the operating
169 * system. On Windows, it's the C library that implements open() and
170 * file descriptors. The actual Win32 API for opening files is quite
171 * different, see MSDN documentation for CreateFile(). The Win32 API
172 * uses file handles, which are more randomish integers, not small
173 * integers like file descriptors.
175 * Because file descriptors are specific to the C library on Windows,
176 * the file descriptor returned by this function makes sense only to
177 * functions in the same C library. Thus if the GLib-using code uses a
178 * different C library than GLib does, the file descriptor returned by
179 * this function cannot be passed to C library functions like write()
182 * See your C library manual for more details about open().
184 * Returns: a new file descriptor, or -1 if an error occurred. The
185 * return value can be used exactly like the return value from open().

219 * @filename: a pathname in the GLib file name encoding (UTF-8 on Windows)
220 * @mode: as in creat()
222 * A wrapper for the POSIX creat() function. The creat() function is
223 * used to convert a pathname into a file descriptor, creating a file
226 * On POSIX systems file descriptors are implemented by the operating
227 * system. On Windows, it's the C library that implements creat() and
228 * file descriptors. The actual Windows API for opening files is
229 * different, see MSDN documentation for CreateFile(). The Win32 API
230 * uses file handles, which are more randomish integers, not small
231 * integers like file descriptors.

276 * @oldfilename: a pathname in the GLib file name encoding (UTF-8 on Windows)
277 * @newfilename: a pathname in the GLib file name encoding
279 * A wrapper for the POSIX rename() function. The rename() function
280 * renames a file, moving it between directories if required.
282 * See your C library manual for more details about how rename() works
283 * on your system. It is not possible in general on Windows to rename
284 * a file that is open to some process.

348 * @filename: a pathname in the GLib file name encoding (UTF-8 on Windows)
349 * @mode: permissions to use for the newly created directory
351 * A wrapper for the POSIX mkdir() function. The mkdir() function
352 * attempts to create a directory with the given name and permissions.
353 * The mode argument is ignored on Windows.
355 * See your C library manual for more details about mkdir().
357 * Returns: 0 if the directory was successfully created, -1 if an error

385 return mkdir (filename, mode);
391 * @path: a pathname in the GLib file name encoding (UTF-8 on Windows)
393 * A wrapper for the POSIX chdir() function. The function changes the
394 * current directory of the process to @path.
396 * See your C library manual for more details about chdir().
398 * Returns: 0 on success, -1 if an error occurred.
403 g_chdir (const gchar *path)
406 wchar_t *wpath = g_utf8_to_utf16 (path, -1, NULL, NULL, NULL);
416 retval = _wchdir (wpath);
431 * A type corresponding to the appropriate struct type for the stat
432 * system call, depending on the platform and/or compiler being used.
434 * See g_stat() for more information.
438 * @filename: a pathname in the GLib file name encoding (UTF-8 on Windows)
439 * @buf: a pointer to a <structname>stat</structname> struct, which
440 * will be filled with the file information
442 * A wrapper for the POSIX stat() function. The stat() function
443 * returns information about a file. On Windows the stat() function in
444 * the C library checks only the FAT-style READONLY attribute and does
445 * not look at the ACL at all. Thus on Windows the protection bits in
446 * the st_mode field are a fabrication of little use.
448 * On Windows the Microsoft C libraries have several variants of the
449 * <structname>stat</structname> struct and stat() function with names
450 * like "_stat", "_stat32", "_stat32i64" and "_stat64i32". The one
451 * used here is for 32-bit code the one with 32-bit size and time
452 * fields, specifically called "_stat32".
454 * In Microsoft's compiler, by default "struct stat" means one with
455 * 64-bit time fields while in MinGW "struct stat" is the legacy one
456 * with 32-bit fields. To hopefully clear up this messs, the gstdio.h
457 * header defines a type GStatBuf which is the appropriate struct type
458 * depending on the platform and/or compiler being used. On POSIX it
459 * is just "struct stat", but note that even on POSIX platforms,
460 * "stat" might be a macro.
462 * See your C library manual for more details about stat().
464 * Returns: 0 if the information was successfully retrieved, -1 if an error

474 wchar_t *wfilename = g_utf8_to_utf16 (filename, -1, NULL, NULL, NULL);

507 * @buf: a pointer to a <structname>stat</structname> struct, which
508 * will be filled with the file information
510 * A wrapper for the POSIX lstat() function. The lstat() function is
511 * like stat() except that in the case of symbolic links, it returns
512 * information about the symbolic link itself and not the file that it
513 * refers to. If the system does not support symbolic links g_lstat()
514 * is identical to g_stat().
516 * See your C library manual for more details about lstat().
518 * Returns: 0 if the information was successfully retrieved, -1 if an error

529 return lstat (filename, buf);
531 return g_stat (filename, buf);
537 * @filename: a pathname in the GLib file name encoding (UTF-8 on Windows)
539 * A wrapper for the POSIX unlink() function. The unlink() function
540 * deletes a name from the filesystem. If this was the last link to the
541 * file and no processes have it opened, the diskspace occupied by the
544 * See your C library manual for more details about unlink(). Note
545 * that on Windows, it is in general not possible to delete files that
546 * are open to some process, or mapped into memory.
548 * Returns: 0 if the name was successfully deleted, -1 if an error
554 g_unlink (const gchar *filename)
557 wchar_t *wfilename = g_utf8_to_utf16 (filename, -1, NULL, NULL, NULL);
561 if (wfilename == NULL)
567 retval = _wunlink (wfilename);
575 return unlink (filename);
581 * @filename: a pathname in the GLib file name encoding (UTF-8 on Windows)
583 * A wrapper for the POSIX remove() function. The remove() function
584 * deletes a name from the filesystem.
586 * See your C library manual for more details about how remove() works
587 * on your system. On Unix, remove() removes also directories, as it
588 * calls unlink() for files and rmdir() for directories. On Windows,
589 * although remove() in the C library only works for files, this
590 * function tries first remove() and then if that fails rmdir(), and
591 * thus works for both files and directories. Note however, that on
592 * Windows, it is in general not possible to remove a file that is
593 * open to some process, or mapped into memory.
595 * If this function fails on Windows you can't infer too much from the
596 * errno value. rmdir() is tried regardless of what caused remove() to
597 * fail. Any errno value set by remove() will be overwritten by that
600 * Returns: 0 if the file was successfully removed, -1 if an error
606 g_remove (const gchar *filename)

635 * @filename: a pathname in the GLib file name encoding (UTF-8 on Windows)
637 * A wrapper for the POSIX rmdir() function. The rmdir() function
638 * deletes a directory from the filesystem.
640 * See your C library manual for more details about how rmdir() works
643 * Returns: 0 if the directory was successfully removed, -1 if an error

676 * @filename: a pathname in the GLib file name encoding (UTF-8 on Windows)
677 * @mode: a string describing the mode in which the file should be
680 * A wrapper for the stdio fopen() function. The fopen() function
681 * opens a file and associates a new stream with it.
683 * Because file descriptors are specific to the C library on Windows,
684 * and a file descriptor is partof the <type>FILE</type> struct, the
685 * <type>FILE</type> pointer returned by this function makes sense
686 * only to functions in the same C library. Thus if the GLib-using
687 * code uses a different C library than GLib does, the
688 * <type>FILE</type> pointer returned by this function cannot be
689 * passed to C library functions like fprintf() or fread().
691 * See your C library manual for more details about fopen().
693 * Returns: A <type>FILE</type> pointer if the file was successfully
694 * opened, or %NULL if an error occurred

739 * @mode: a string describing the mode in which the file should be
741 * @stream: an existing stream which will be reused, or %NULL
743 * A wrapper for the POSIX freopen() function. The freopen() function
744 * opens a file and associates it with an existing stream.
746 * See your C library manual for more details about freopen().
748 * Returns: A <type>FILE</type> pointer if the file was successfully
749 * opened, or %NULL if an error occurred.

794 * @filename: a pathname in the GLib file name encoding (UTF-8 on Windows)
795 * @utb: a pointer to a struct utimbuf.
797 * A wrapper for the POSIX utime() function. The utime() function
798 * sets the access and modification timestamps of a file.
800 * See your C library manual for more details about how utime() works
803 * Returns: 0 if the operation was successful, -1 if an error
