Detailed Description

An object representing the permission to perform a certain action.

A Permission represents the status of the caller's permission to perform a certain action.

You can query if the action is currently allowed and if it is possible to acquire the permission so that the action will be allowed in the future.

There is also an API to actually acquire the permission and one to release it.

As an example, a Permission might represent the ability for the user to write to a Settings object. This Permission object could then be used to decide if it is appropriate to show a "Click here to unlock" button in a dialog and to provide the mechanism to invoke when that button is clicked.

Since glibmm 2.42:

Member Function Documentation

bool Gio::Permission::acquire ( const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >&  cancellable)

Attempts to acquire the permission represented by permission.

The precise method by which this happens depends on the permission and the underlying authentication mechanism. A simple example is that a dialog may appear asking the user to enter their password.

You should check with g_permission_get_can_acquire() before calling this function.

If the permission is acquired then true is returned. Otherwise, false is returned and error is set appropriately.

This call is blocking, likely for a very long time (in the case that user interaction is required). See g_permission_acquire_async() for the non-blocking version.

Since glibmm 2.26:
Parameters
cancellableA Cancellable, or nullptr.
Returns
true if the permission was successfully acquired.
Exceptions
Glib::Error
bool Gio::Permission::acquire ( )

A acquire() convenience overload.

void Gio::Permission::acquire_async ( const SlotAsyncReady &  slot,
const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >&  cancellable 
)

Attempts to acquire the permission represented by permission.

This is the first half of the asynchronous version of g_permission_acquire().

Since glibmm 2.26:
Parameters
cancellableA Cancellable, or nullptr.
slotThe SlotAsyncReady to call when done.
void Gio::Permission::acquire_async ( const SlotAsyncReady &  slot)

A acquire_async() convenience overload.

virtual void Gio::Permission::acquire_async_vfunc ( const SlotAsyncReady &  slot,
const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >&  cancellable 
)
protectedvirtual
bool Gio::Permission::acquire_finish ( const Glib::RefPtr< AsyncResult >&  result)

Collects the result of attempting to acquire the permission represented by permission.

This is the second half of the asynchronous version of g_permission_acquire().

Since glibmm 2.26:
Parameters
resultThe AsyncResult given to the SlotAsyncReady.
Returns
true if the permission was successfully acquired.
Exceptions
Glib::Error

Exceptions
Glib::Error.

protectedvirtual
Exceptions
Glib::Error.
bool Gio::Permission::get_allowed ( ) const

Gets the value of the 'allowed' property.

This property is true if the caller currently has permission to perform the action that permission represents the permission to perform.

Since glibmm 2.26:
Returns
The value of the 'allowed' property.
bool Gio::Permission::get_can_acquire ( ) const

Gets the value of the 'can-acquire' property.

This property is true if it is generally possible to acquire the permission by calling g_permission_acquire().

Since glibmm 2.26:
Returns
The value of the 'can-acquire' property.
bool Gio::Permission::get_can_release ( ) const

Gets the value of the 'can-release' property.

This property is true if it is generally possible to release the permission by calling g_permission_release().

Since glibmm 2.26:
Returns
The value of the 'can-release' property.
static GType Gio::Permission::get_type ( )
static

Get the GType for this class, for use with the underlying GObject type system.

GPermission* Gio::Permission::gobj ( )
inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

const GPermission* Gio::Permission::gobj ( ) const
inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

GPermission* Gio::Permission::gobj_copy ( )

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

void Gio::Permission::impl_update ( bool  allowed,
bool  can_acquire,
bool  can_release 
)
protected

This function is called by the Permission implementation to update the properties of the permission.

You should never call this function except from a Permission implementation.

GObject notify signals are generated, as appropriate.

Since glibmm 2.26:
Parameters
allowedThe new value for the 'allowed' property.
can_acquireThe new value for the 'can-acquire' property.
can_releaseThe new value for the 'can-release' property.
Permission& Gio::Permission::operator= ( Permission&&  src)
noexcept
Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< bool > Gio::Permission::property_allowed ( ) const

true if the caller currently has permission to perform the action that permission represents the permission to perform.

Default value: false

Returns
A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< bool > Gio::Permission::property_can_acquire ( ) const

true if it is generally possible to acquire the permission by calling g_permission_acquire().

Default value: false

Returns
A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< bool > Gio::Permission::property_can_release ( ) const

true if it is generally possible to release the permission by calling g_permission_release().

Default value: false

Returns
A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
bool Gio::Permission::release ( const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >&  cancellable)

Attempts to release the permission represented by permission.

The precise method by which this happens depends on the permission and the underlying authentication mechanism. In most cases the permission will be dropped immediately without further action.

You should check with g_permission_get_can_release() before calling this function.

If the permission is released then true is returned. Otherwise, false is returned and error is set appropriately.

This call is blocking, likely for a very long time (in the case that user interaction is required). See g_permission_release_async() for the non-blocking version.

Since glibmm 2.26:
Parameters
cancellableA Cancellable, or nullptr.
Returns
true if the permission was successfully released.

bool Gio::Permission::release ( )

A release() convenience overload.

void Gio::Permission::release_async ( const SlotAsyncReady &  slot,
const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >&  cancellable
