VolumeT.getActivationRoot

Gets the activation root for a GVolume if it is known ahead of mount time. Returns NULL otherwise. If not NULL and if volume is mounted, then the result of g_mount_get_root() on the GMount object obtained from g_volume_get_mount() will always either be equal or a prefix of what this function returns. In other words, in code GMount *mount; GFile *mount_root GFile *volume_activation_root; mount = g_volume_get_mount (volume); /+* mounted, so never NULL +/ mount_root = g_mount_get_root (mount); volume_activation_root = g_volume_get_activation_root(volume); /+* assume not NULL +/ then the expression (g_file_has_prefix (volume_activation_root, mount_root) || g_file_equal (volume_activation_root, mount_root)) will always be TRUE. Activation roots are typically used in GVolumeMonitor implementations to find the underlying mount to shadow, see g_mount_is_shadowed() for more details. Since 2.18
