Detailed Description

Enumerated Files Routines.

FileEnumerator allows you to operate on a set of Gio::Files, returning a Gio::FileInfo instance for each file enumerated (e.g. Gio::File::enumerate_children() will return a FileEnumerator for each of the children within a directory).

To get the next file's information from a Gio::FileEnumerator, use next_file() or its asynchronous version, next_file_async(). Note that the asynchronous version will return a list of Gio::FileInfos, whereas the synchronous version will only return the next file in the enumerator.

To close a Gio::FileEnumerator, use FileEnumerator::close(), or its asynchronous version, close_async(). Once a FileEnumerator is closed, no further actions may be performed on it.

Since glibmm 2.16:

Member Function Documentation

bool Gio::FileEnumerator::close ( const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >&  cancellable)

Releases all resources used by this enumerator, making the enumerator return Gio::Error::CLOSED on all calls.

This will be automatically called when the last reference is dropped, but you might want to call this function to make sure resources are released as early as possible.

Parameters
cancellableOptional Cancellable object, nullptr to ignore.
Returns
#true on success or #false on error.
Exceptions
Glib::Error
bool Gio::FileEnumerator::close ( )

A close() convenience overload.

void Gio::FileEnumerator::close_async ( int  io_priority,
const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >&  cancellable,
const SlotAsyncReady &  slot 
)

Asynchronously closes the file enumerator.

See close(), which is the synchronous version of this function.

The operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, a Gio::Error with CANCELLED will be thrown by close_finish().

Parameters
io_priorityThe I/O priority of the request.
cancellableA Cancellable object which can be used to cancel the operation.
slotA callback to call when the request is satisfied.
void Gio::FileEnumerator::close_async ( int  io_priority,
const SlotAsyncReady &  slot 
)

Asynchronously closes the file enumerator.

See close(), which is the synchronous version of this function.

Parameters
io_priorityThe I/O priority of the request.
slotA callback to call when the request is satisfied.
bool Gio::FileEnumerator::close_finish ( const Glib::RefPtr< AsyncResult >&  result)

Finishes closing a file enumerator, started from g_file_enumerator_close_async().

If the file enumerator was already closed when g_file_enumerator_close_async() was called, then this function will throw a Gio::Error with CLOSED, and return false. If the file enumerator had pending operation when the close operation was started, then this function will throw a Gio::Error with PENDING, and return false. The operation may have been cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, a Gio::Error with CANCELLED will be thrown, and false will be returned.

Parameters
resultA AsyncResult.
Returns
true if the close operation has finished successfully.
Exceptions
Glib::Error
Glib::RefPtr<File> Gio::FileEnumerator::get_child ( const Glib::RefPtr< FileInfo >&  info)

Return a new File which refers to the file named by info in the source directory of enumerator.

This function is primarily intended to be used inside loops with g_file_enumerator_next_file().

This is a convenience method that's equivalent to:

[C example ellipted]

Since glibmm 2.36:
Parameters
infoA FileInfo gotten from g_file_enumerator_next_file() or the async equivalents.
Returns
A File for the FileInfo passed it.
Glib::RefPtr<const File> Gio::FileEnumerator::get_child ( const Glib::RefPtr< FileInfo >&  info) const

Return a new File which refers to the file named by info in the source directory of enumerator.

This function is primarily intended to be used inside loops with g_file_enumerator_next_file().

This is a convenience method that's equivalent to:

[C example ellipted]

Since glibmm 2.36:
Parameters
infoA FileInfo gotten from g_file_enumerator_next_file() or the async equivalents.
Returns
A File for the FileInfo passed it.
Glib::RefPtr<File> Gio::FileEnumerator::get_container ( )

Get the File container which is being enumerated.

Since glibmm 2.18:
Returns
The File which is being enumerated.
Glib::RefPtr<const File> Gio::FileEnumerator::get_container ( ) const

Get the File container which is being enumerated.

Since glibmm 2.18:
Returns
The File which is being enumerated.
static GType Gio::FileEnumerator::get_type ( )
static

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

GFileEnumerator* Gio::FileEnumerator::gobj ( )
inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

const GFileEnumerator* Gio::FileEnumerator::gobj ( ) const
inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

GFileEnumerator* Gio::FileEnumerator::gobj_copy ( )

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

bool Gio::FileEnumerator::has_pending ( ) const

Checks if the file enumerator has pending operations.

Returns
true if the enumerator has pending operations.
bool Gio::FileEnumerator::is_closed ( ) const

Checks if the file enumerator has been closed.

Returns
true if the enumerator is closed.
Glib::RefPtr<FileInfo> Gio::FileEnumerator::next_file ( const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >&  cancellable)

Returns information for the next file in the enumerated object.

Will block until the information is available. The FileInfo returned from this function will contain attributes that match the attribute string that was passed when the FileEnumerator was created.

See the documentation of FileEnumerator for information about the order of returned files.

On error, returns nullptr and sets error to the error. If the enumerator is at the end, nullptr will be returned and error will be unset.

Parameters
cancellableOptional Cancellable object, nullptr to ignore.
Returns
A FileInfo or nullptr on error or end of enumerator. Free the returned object with Glib::object_unref() when no longer needed.
Exceptions
Glib::Error
Glib::RefPtr<FileInfo> Gio::FileEnumerator::next_file ( )

A next_file() convenience overload.

void Gio::FileEnumerator::next_files_async ( const SlotAsyncReady &  slot,
const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >&  cancellable,
int  num_files = 1,
int  io_priority = Glib::PRIORITY_DEFAULT 
)

Request information for a number of files from the enumerator asynchronously.

When all I/O for the operation is finished the callback slot will be called with the requested information.

The callback could be called with less than num_files files in case of error or at the end of the enumerator. In case of a partial error the callback will be called with any succeeding items and no error, and on the next request the error will be reported. If a request is cancelled the callback will be called with ERROR_CANCELLED.

During an async request no other sync and async calls are allowed, and will result in ERROR_PENDING errors.

Any outstanding I/O request with higher priority (lower numerical value) will be executed before an outstanding request with lower priority. The default priority is PRIORITY_DEFAULT.

Parameters
slotA callback to call when the request is satisfied.
cancellableAn cancellable object which can be used to cancel the request.
num_filesThe number of file info objects to request.
io_priorityThe I/O priority of the request.
void Gio::FileEnumerator::next_files_async ( const SlotAsyncReady &  slot,
int  num_files = 1,
int  io_priority = Glib::PRIORITY_DEFAULT 
)

Request information for a number of files from the enumerator asynchronously.

When all I/O for the operation is finished the callback slot will be called with the requested information.

The callback could be called with less than num_files files in case of error or at the end of the enumerator.
