File.getParseName

Gets the parse name of the file. A parse name is a UTF-8 string that describes the file such that one can get the GFile back using g_file_parse_name(). This is generally used to show the GFile as a nice full-pathname kind of string in a user interface, like in a location entry. For local files with names that can safely be converted to UTF-8 the pathname is used, otherwise the IRI is used (a form of URI that allows UTF-8 characters unescaped). This call does no blocking I/O.
