Method
GioFiledup
Declaration [src]
GFile*
g_file_dup (
GFile* file
)
Description [src]
Duplicates a GFile handle. This operation does not duplicate
the actual file or directory represented by the GFile; see
g_file_copy() if attempting to copy a file.
g_file_dup() is useful when a second handle is needed to the same underlying
file, for use in a separate thread (GFile is not thread-safe). For use
within the same thread, use g_object_ref() to increment the existing object’s
reference count.
This call does no blocking I/O.
Return value
Type: GFile
A new GFile that is a duplicate
of the given GFile.
| The caller of the method takes ownership of the returned data, and is responsible for freeing it. |
