/**
* SECTION:gappinfo
* @short_description: Application information and launch contexts
- * @include: gio.h
+ * @include: gio/gio.h
*
* #GAppInfo and #GAppLaunchContext are used for describing and launching
- * applications installed on the system.
+ * applications installed on the system.
+ *
+ * As of GLib 2.20, URIs will always be converted to POSIX paths
+ * (using g_file_get_path()) when using g_app_info_launch() even if
+ * the application requested an URI and not a POSIX path. For example
+ * for an desktop-file based application with Exec key <literal>totem
+ * %%U</literal> and a single URI,
+ * <literal>sftp://foo/file.avi</literal>, then
+ * <literal>/home/user/.gvfs/sftp on foo/file.avi</literal> will be
+ * passed. This will only work if a set of suitable GIO extensions
+ * (such as gvfs 2.26 compiled with FUSE support), is available and
+ * operational; if this is not the case, the URI will be passed
+ * unmodified to the application. Some URIs, such as
+ * <literal>mailto:</literal>, of course cannot be mapped to a POSIX
+ * path (in gvfs there's no FUSE mount for it); such URIs will be
+ * passed unmodified to the application.
+ *
+ * Specifically for gvfs 2.26 and later, the POSIX URI will be mapped
+ * back to the GIO URI in the #GFile constructors (since gvfs
+ * implements the #GVfs extension point). As such, if the application
+ * needs to examine the URI, it needs to use g_file_get_uri() or
+ * similar on #GFile. In other words, an application cannot assume
+ * that the URI passed to e.g. g_file_new_for_commandline_arg() is
+ * equal to the result of g_file_get_uri(). The following snippet
+ * illustrates this:
+ *
+ * <programlisting>
+ * GFile *f;
+ * char *uri;
+ *
+ * file = g_file_new_for_commandline_arg (uri_from_commandline);
+ *
+ * uri = g_file_get_uri (file);
+ * strcmp (uri, uri_from_commandline) == 0; // FALSE
+ * g_free (uri);
+ *
+ * if (g_file_has_uri_scheme (file, "cdda"))
+ * {
+ * // do something special with uri
+ * }
+ * g_object_unref (file);
+ * </programlisting>
+ *
+ * This code will work when both <literal>cdda://sr0/Track
+ * 1.wav</literal> and <literal>/home/user/.gvfs/cdda on sr0/Track
+ * 1.wav</literal> is passed to the application. It should be noted
+ * that it's generally not safe for applications to rely on the format
+ * of a particular URIs. Different launcher applications (e.g. file
+ * managers) may have different ideas of what a given URI means.
