getType
GType getType()
compatControl
size_t compatControl(size_t what, void* data)
interfaceFindProperty
ParamSpec interfaceFindProperty(TypeInterface gIface, string propertyName)

Find the #GParamSpec with the given name for an interface. Generally, the interface vtable passed in as @g_iface will be the default vtable from g_type_default_interface_ref(), or, if you know the interface has already been loaded, g_type_default_interface_peek().

interfaceInstallProperty
void interfaceInstallProperty(TypeInterface gIface, ParamSpec pspec)

Add a property to an interface; this is only useful for interfaces that are added to GObject-derived types. Adding a property to an interface forces all objects classes with that interface to have a compatible property. The compatible property could be a newly created #GParamSpec, but normally g_object_class_override_property() will be used so that the object class only needs to provide an implementation and inherits the property description, default value, bounds, and so forth from the interface property.

interfaceListProperties
ParamSpec[] interfaceListProperties(TypeInterface gIface)

Lists the properties of an interface.Generally, the interface vtable passed in as @g_iface will be the default vtable from g_type_default_interface_ref(), or, if you know the interface has already been loaded, g_type_default_interface_peek().

addToggleRef
void addToggleRef(GToggleNotify notify, void* data)

Increases the reference count of the object by one and sets a callback to be called when all other references to the object are dropped, or when this is already the last reference to the object and another reference is established.

addWeakPointer
void addWeakPointer(void* weakPointerLocation)

Adds a weak reference from weak_pointer to @object to indicate that the pointer located at @weak_pointer_location is only valid during the lifetime of @object. When the @object is finalized, @weak_pointer will be set to %NULL.

bindProperty
Binding bindProperty(string sourceProperty, ObjectG target, string targetProperty, GBindingFlags flags)

Creates a binding between @source_property on @source and @target_property on @target. Whenever the @source_property is changed the @target_property is updated using the same value. For instance:

bindPropertyFull
Binding bindPropertyFull(string sourceProperty, ObjectG target, string targetProperty, GBindingFlags flags, GBindingTransformFunc transformTo, GBindingTransformFunc transformFrom, void* userData, GDestroyNotify notify)

Complete version of g_object_bind_property().

bindPropertyWithClosures
Binding bindPropertyWithClosures(string sourceProperty, ObjectG target, string targetProperty, GBindingFlags flags, Closure transformTo, Closure transformFrom)

Creates a binding between @source_property on @source and @target_property on @target, allowing you to set the transformation functions to be used by the binding.

dupData
void* dupData(string key, GDuplicateFunc dupFunc, void* userData)

This is a variant of g_object_get_data() which returns a 'duplicate' of the value. @dup_func defines the meaning of 'duplicate' in this context, it could e.g. take a reference on a ref-counted object.

dupQdata
void* dupQdata(GQuark quark, GDuplicateFunc dupFunc, void* userData)

This is a variant of g_object_get_qdata() which returns a 'duplicate' of the value. @dup_func defines the meaning of 'duplicate' in this context, it could e.g. take a reference on a ref-counted object.

forceFloating
void forceFloating()

This function is intended for #GObject implementations to re-enforce a floating[floating-ref] object reference. Doing this is seldom required: all #GInitiallyUnowneds are created with a floating reference which usually just needs to be sunken by calling g_object_ref_sink().

freezeNotify
void freezeNotify()

Increases the freeze count on @object. If the freeze count is non-zero, the emission of "notify" signals on @object is stopped. The signals are queued until the freeze count is decreased to zero. Duplicate notifications are squashed so that at most one #GObject::notify signal is emitted for each property modified while the object is frozen.

getData
void* getData(string key)

Gets a named field from the objects table of associations (see g_object_set_data()).

getProperty
void getProperty(string propertyName, Value value)

Gets a property of an object. @value must have been initialized to the expected type of the property (or a type to which the expected type can be transformed) using g_value_init().

getQdata
void* getQdata(GQuark quark)

This function gets back user data pointers stored via g_object_set_qdata().

getValist
void getValist(string firstPropertyName, void* varArgs)

Gets properties of an object.

isFloating
bool isFloating()

Checks whether @object has a floating[floating-ref] reference.

notify
void notify(string propertyName)

Emits a "notify" signal for the property @property_name on @object.

notifyByPspec
void notifyByPspec(ParamSpec pspec)

Emits a "notify" signal for the property specified by @pspec on @object.

doref
ObjectG doref()

Increases the reference count of @object.

refSink
ObjectG refSink()

Increase the reference count of @object, and possibly remove the floating[floating-ref] reference, if @object has a floating reference.

removeToggleRef
void removeToggleRef(GToggleNotify notify, void* data)

Removes a reference added with g_object_add_toggle_ref(). The reference count of the object is decreased by one.

removeWeakPointer
void removeWeakPointer(void* weakPointerLocation)

Removes a weak reference from @object that was previously added using g_object_add_weak_pointer(). The @weak_pointer_location has to match the one used with g_object_add_weak_pointer().

replaceData
bool replaceData(string key, void* oldval, void* newval, GDestroyNotify destroy, GDestroyNotify* oldDestroy)

Compares the user data for the key @key on @object with @oldval, and if they are the same, replaces @oldval with @newval.

replaceQdata
bool replaceQdata(GQuark quark, void* oldval, void* newval, GDestroyNotify destroy, GDestroyNotify* oldDestroy)

Compares the user data for the key @quark on @object with @oldval, and if they are the same, replaces @oldval with @newval.

runDispose
void runDispose()

Releases all references to other objects. This can be used to break reference cycles.

setData
void setData(string key, void* data)

Each object carries around a table of associations from strings to pointers. This function lets you set an association.

setDataFull
void setDataFull(string key, void* data, GDestroyNotify destroy)

Like g_object_set_data() except it adds notification for when the association is destroyed, either by setting it to a different value or when the object is destroyed.

setProperty
void setProperty(string propertyName, Value value)

Sets a property on an object.

setQdata
void setQdata(GQuark quark, void* data)

This sets an opaque, named pointer on an object. The name is specified through a #GQuark (retrived e.g. via g_quark_from_static_string()), and the pointer can be gotten back from the @object with g_object_get_qdata() until the @object is finalized. Setting a previously set user data pointer, overrides (frees) the old pointer set, using #NULL as pointer essentially removes the data stored.

setQdataFull
void setQdataFull(GQuark quark, void* data, GDestroyNotify destroy)

This function works like g_object_set_qdata(), but in addition, a void (*destroy) (gpointer) function may be specified which is called with @data as argument when the @object is finalized, or the data is being overwritten by a call to g_object_set_qdata() with the same @quark.

setValist
void setValist(string firstPropertyName, void* varArgs)

Sets properties on an object.

stealData
void* stealData(string key)

Remove a specified datum from the object's data associations, without invoking the association's destroy handler.

stealQdata
void* stealQdata(GQuark quark)

This function gets back user data pointers stored via g_object_set_qdata() and removes the @data from object without invoking its destroy() function (if any was set). Usually, calling this function is only required to update user data pointers with a destroy notifier, for example: |[<!-- language="C" --> void object_add_to_user_list (GObject *object, const gchar *new_string) { // the quark, naming the object data GQuark quark_string_list = g_quark_from_static_string ("my-string-list"); // retrive the old string list GList *list = g_object_steal_qdata (object, quark_string_list);

thawNotify
void thawNotify()

Reverts the effect of a previous call to g_object_freeze_notify(). The freeze count is decreased on @object and when it reaches zero, queued "notify" signals are emitted.

unref
void unref()

Decreases the reference count of @object. When its reference count drops to 0, the object is finalized (i.e. its memory is freed).

watchClosure
void watchClosure(Closure closure)

This function essentially limits the life time of the @closure to the life time of the object. That is, when the object is finalized, the @closure is invalidated by calling g_closure_invalidate() on it, in order to prevent invocations of the closure with a finalized (nonexisting) object. Also, g_object_ref() and g_object_unref() are added as marshal guards to the @closure, to ensure that an extra reference count is held on @object during invocation of the @closure. Usually, this function will be called on closures that use this @object as closure data.

weakRef
void weakRef(GWeakNotify notify, void* data)

Adds a weak reference callback to an object. Weak references are used for notification when an object is finalized. They are called "weak references" because they allow you to safely hold a pointer to an object without calling g_object_ref() (g_object_ref() adds a strong reference, that is, forces the object to stay alive).

weakUnref
void weakUnref(GWeakNotify notify, void* data)

Removes a weak reference callback to an object.

clearObject
void clearObject(ObjectG objectPtr)

Clears a reference to a #GObject.

If the file system does not support creating directories, this function will fail, setting @error to %G_IO_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED. If the directory itself already exists, this function will fail setting @error to %G_IO_ERROR_EXISTS, unlike the similar g_mkdir_with_parents().

makeSymbolicLink
bool makeSymbolicLink(string symlinkValue, Cancellable cancellable)

Creates a symbolic link named @file which contains the string @symlink_value.

move
bool move(FileIF destination, GFileCopyFlags flags, Cancellable cancellable, GFileProgressCallback progressCallback, void* progressCallbackData)

Tries to move the file or directory @source to the location specified by @destination. If native move operations are supported then this is used, otherwise a copy + delete fallback is used. The native implementation may support moving directories (for instance on moves inside the same filesystem), but the fallback code does not.

Similar to g_file_query_info(), but obtains information about the filesystem the @file is on, rather than the file itself. For instance the amount of space available and the type of the filesystem.

queryFilesystemInfoAsync
void queryFilesystemInfoAsync(string attributes, int ioPriority, Cancellable cancellable, GAsyncReadyCallback callback, void* userData)

Asynchronously gets the requested information about the filesystem that the specified @file is on. The result is a #GFileInfo object that contains key-value attributes (such as type or size for the file).

replaceContentsBytesAsync
void replaceContentsBytesAsync(Bytes contents, string etag, bool makeBackup, GFileCreateFlags flags, Cancellable cancellable, GAsyncReadyCallback callback, void* userData)

Same as g_file_replace_contents_async() but takes a #GBytes input instead. This function will keep a ref on @contents until the operation is done. Unlike g_file_replace_contents_async() this allows forgetting about the content without waiting for the callback.

replaceContentsFinish
bool replaceContentsFinish(AsyncResultIF res, string newEtag)

Finishes an asynchronous replace of the given @file. See g_file_replace_contents_async(). Sets @new_etag to the new entity tag for the document, if present.

FileOutputStream replaceFinish(AsyncResultIF res)

Finishes an asynchronous file replace operation started with g_file_replace_async().

replaceReadwrite
FileIOStream replaceReadwrite(string etag, bool makeBackup, GFileCreateFlags flags, Cancellable cancellable)

Returns an output stream for overwriting the file in readwrite mode, possibly creating a backup copy of the file first. If the file doesn't exist, it will be created.

replaceReadwriteAsync
void replaceReadwriteAsync(string etag, bool makeBackup, GFileCreateFlags flags, int ioPriority, Cancellable cancellable, GAsyncReadyCallback callback, void* userData)

Asynchronously overwrites the file in read-write mode, replacing the contents, possibly creating a backup copy of the file first.

replaceReadwriteFinish
FileIOStream replaceReadwriteFinish(AsyncResultIF res)

Finishes an asynchronous file replace operation started with g_file_replace_readwrite_async().

resolveRelativePath
FileIF resolveRelativePath(string relativePath)

Resolves a relative path for @file to an absolute path.

setAttribute
bool setAttribute(string attribute, GFileAttributeType type, void* valueP, GFileQueryInfoFlags flags, Cancellable cancellable)

Sets an attribute in the file with attribute name @attribute to @value.

setAttributeByteString
bool setAttributeByteString(string attribute, string value, GFileQueryInfoFlags flags, Cancellable cancellable)

Sets @attribute of type %G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_BYTE_STRING to @value. If @attribute is of a different type, this operation will fail, returning %FALSE.

setAttributeInt32
bool setAttributeInt32(string attribute, int value, GFileQueryInfoFlags flags, Cancellable cancellable)

Sets @attribute of type %G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_INT32 to @value. If @attribute is of a different type, this operation will fail.

setAttributeInt64
bool setAttributeInt64(string attribute, long value, GFileQueryInfoFlags flags, Cancellable cancellable)

Sets @attribute of type %G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_INT64 to @value. If @attribute is of a different type, this operation will fail.

setAttributeString
bool setAttributeString(string attribute, string value, GFileQueryInfoFlags flags, Cancellable cancellable)

Sets @attribute of type %G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_STRING to @value. If @attribute is of a different type, this operation will fail.

setAttributeUint32
bool setAttributeUint32(string attribute, uint value, GFileQueryInfoFlags flags, Cancellable cancellable)

Sets @attribute of type %G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_UINT32 to @value. If @attribute is of a different type, this operation will fail.

setAttributeUint64
bool setAttributeUint64(string attribute, ulong value, GFileQueryInfoFlags flags, Cancellable cancellable)

Sets @attribute of type %G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_UINT64 to @value. If @attribute is of a different type, this operation will fail.

setAttributesAsync
void setAttributesAsync(FileInfo info, GFileQueryInfoFlags flags, int ioPriority, Cancellable cancellable, GAsyncReadyCallback callback, void* userData)

Asynchronously sets the attributes of @file with @info.

setAttributesFinish
bool setAttributesFinish(AsyncResultIF result, FileInfo info)

Finishes setting an attribute started in g_file_set_attributes_async().

setAttributesFromInfo
bool setAttributesFromInfo(FileInfo info, GFileQueryInfoFlags flags, Cancellable cancellable)

Tries to set all attributes in the #GFileInfo on the target values, not stopping on the first error.

setDisplayName
FileIF setDisplayName(string displayName, Cancellable cancellable)

Renames @file to the specified display name.

setDisplayNameAsync
void setDisplayNameAsync(string displayName, int ioPriority, Cancellable cancellable, GAsyncReadyCallback callback, void* userData)

Asynchronously sets the display name for a given #GFile.

setDisplayNameFinish
FileIF setDisplayNameFinish(AsyncResultIF res)

Finishes setting a display name started with g_file_set_display_name_async().

startMountable
void startMountable(GDriveStartFlags flags, MountOperation startOperation, Cancellable cancellable, GAsyncReadyCallback callback, void* userData)

Starts a file of type #G_FILE_TYPE_MOUNTABLE. Using @start_operation, you can request callbacks when, for instance, passwords are needed during authentication.

startMountableFinish
bool startMountableFinish(AsyncResultIF result)

Finishes a start operation. See g_file_start_mountable() for details.

stopMountable
void stopMountable(GMountUnmountFlags flags, MountOperation mountOperation, Cancellable cancellable, GAsyncReadyCallback callback, void* userData)

Stops a file of type #G_FILE_TYPE_MOUNTABLE.

stopMountableFinish
bool stopMountableFinish(AsyncResultIF result)

Finishes an stop operation, see g_file_stop_mountable() for details.

supportsThreadContexts
bool supportsThreadContexts()

Checks if @file supports [thread-default contexts][g-main-context-push-thread-default-context]. If this returns %FALSE, you cannot perform asynchronous operations on @file in a thread that has a thread-default context.

trash
bool trash(Cancellable cancellable)

Sends @file to the "Trashcan", if possible. This is similar to deleting it, but the user can recover it before emptying the trashcan. Not all file systems support trashing, so this call can return the %G_IO_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED error.

trashAsync
void trashAsync(int ioPriority, Cancellable cancellable, GAsyncReadyCallback callback, void* userData)

Asynchronously sends @file to the Trash location, if possible.

trashFinish
bool trashFinish(AsyncResultIF result)

Finishes an asynchronous file trashing operation, started with g_file_trash_async().

unmountMountable
void unmountMountable(GMountUnmountFlags flags, Cancellable cancellable, GAsyncReadyCallback callback, void* userData)

Unmounts a file of type G_FILE_TYPE_MOUNTABLE.

unmountMountableFinish
bool unmountMountableFinish(AsyncResultIF result)

Finishes an unmount operation, see g_file_unmount_mountable() for details.

unmountMountableWithOperation
void unmountMountableWithOperation(GMountUnmountFlags flags, MountOperation mountOperation, Cancellable cancellable, GAsyncReadyCallback callback, void* userData)

Unmounts a file of type #G_FILE_TYPE_MOUNTABLE.

unmountMountableWithOperationFinish
bool unmountMountableWithOperationFinish(AsyncResultIF result)

Finishes an unmount operation, see g_file_unmount_mountable_with_operation() for details.
