File.enumerateChildren

Gets the requested information about the files in a directory. The result is a GFileEnumerator object that will give out GFileInfo objects for all the files in the directory. The attributes value is a string that specifies the file attributes that should be gathered. It is not an error if it's not possible to read a particular requested attribute from a file - it just won't be set. attributes should be a comma-separated list of attributes or attribute wildcards. The wildcard "*" means all attributes, and a wildcard like "standard::*" means all attributes in the standard namespace. An example attribute query be "standard::*,owner::user". The standard attributes are available as defines, like G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_NAME. If cancellable is not NULL, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned. If the file does not exist, the G_IO_ERROR_NOT_FOUND error will be returned. If the file is not a directory, the G_IO_ERROR_NOT_DIRECTORY error will be returned. Other errors are possible too.
