gio.mount_mixin

Module for Mount interface mixin

Templates 2

tmplMountT()

The gio.mount.Mount interface represents user-visible mounts. Note, when porting from GnomeVFS, gio.mount.Mount is the moral equivalent of GnomeVFSVolume.

gio.mount.Mount is a ‘mounted’ filesystem that you can access. Mounted is in quotes because it’s not the same as a UNIX mount, it might be a GVFS mount, but you can still access the files on it if you use GIO. Might or might not be related to a volume object.

Unmounting a gio.mount.Mount instance is an asynchronous operation. For more information about asynchronous operations, see gio.async_result.AsyncResult and gio.task.Task. To unmount a gio.mount.Mount instance, first call gio.mount.Mount.unmountWithOperation with (at least) the gio.mount.Mount instance and a gio.types.AsyncReadyCallback. The callback will be fired when the operation has resolved (either with success or failure), and a gio.async_result.AsyncResult structure will be passed to the callback. That callback should then call gio.mount.Mount.unmountWithOperationFinish with the gio.mount.Mount and the gio.async_result.AsyncResult data to see if the operation was completed successfully. If an error is present when gio.mount.Mount.unmountWithOperationFinish is called, then it will be filled with any error information.

Functions

bool canEject()

Checks if mount can be ejected.

Returns

true if the mount can be ejected.

bool canUnmount()

Checks if mount can be unmounted.

Returns

true if the mount can be unmounted.

void eject(gio.types.MountUnmountFlags flags, gio.cancellable.Cancellable cancellable = null, gio.types.AsyncReadyCallback callback = null)

Ejects a mount. This is an asynchronous operation, and is finished by calling gio.mount.Mount.ejectFinish with the mount and #GAsyncResult data returned in the callback.

Parameters

`flags`	flags affecting the unmount if required for eject
`cancellable`	optional #GCancellable object, null to ignore.
`callback`	a #GAsyncReadyCallback, or null.

Deprecated

Use gio.mount.Mount.ejectWithOperation instead.

bool ejectFinish(gio.async_result.AsyncResult result)

Finishes ejecting a mount. If any errors occurred during the operation, error will be set to contain the errors and false will be returned.

Parameters

result a #GAsyncResult.

Returns

true if the mount was successfully ejected. false otherwise.

Throws

ErrorWrap

Deprecated

Use gio.mount.Mount.ejectWithOperationFinish instead.

void ejectWithOperation(gio.types.MountUnmountFlags flags, gio.mount_operation.MountOperation mountOperation = null, gio.cancellable.Cancellable cancellable = null, gio.types.AsyncReadyCallback callback = null)

Ejects a mount. This is an asynchronous operation, and is finished by calling gio.mount.Mount.ejectWithOperationFinish with the mount and #GAsyncResult data returned in the callback.

Parameters

`flags`	flags affecting the unmount if required for eject
`mountOperation`	a #GMountOperation or null to avoid user interaction.
`cancellable`	optional #GCancellable object, null to ignore.

Parameters

result a #GAsyncResult.

Returns

true if the mount was successfully ejected. false otherwise.

Throws

ErrorWrap

gio.file.File getDefaultLocation()

Gets the default location of mount. The default location of the given mount is a path that reflects the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory, or the root of the volume).

Returns

a #GFile.

The returned object should be unreffed with gobject.object.ObjectWrap.unref when no longer needed.

gio.drive.Drive getDrive()

Gets the drive for the mount.

This is a convenience method for getting the #GVolume and then using that object to get the #GDrive.

Returns

a #GDrive or null if mount is not

associated with a volume or a drive. The returned object should be unreffed with gobject.object.ObjectWrap.unref when no longer needed.

gio.icon.Icon getIcon()

Gets the icon for mount.

Returns

a #GIcon.

The returned object should be unreffed with gobject.object.ObjectWrap.unref when no longer needed.

string getName()

Gets the name of mount.

Returns

the name for the given mount.

The returned string should be freed with glib.global.gfree when no longer needed.

gio.file.File getRoot()

Gets the root directory on mount.

Returns

a #GFile.

The returned object should be unreffed with gobject.object.ObjectWrap.unref when no longer needed.

string getSortKey()

Gets the sort key for mount, if any.

Returns

Sorting key for mount or null if no such key is available.

gio.icon.Icon getSymbolicIcon()

Gets the symbolic icon for mount.

Returns

a #GIcon.

The returned object should be unreffed with gobject.object.ObjectWrap.unref when no longer needed.

string getUuid()

Gets the UUID for the mount. The reference is typically based on the file system UUID for the mount in question and should be considered an opaque string. Returns null if there is no UUID available.

Returns

the UUID for mount or null if no UUID

can be computed. The returned string should be freed with glib.global.gfree when no longer needed.

gio.volume.Volume getVolume()

Gets the volume for the mount.

Returns

a #GVolume or null if mount is not

associated with a volume. The returned object should be unreffed with gobject.object.ObjectWrap.unref when no longer needed.

void guessContentType(bool forceRescan, gio.cancellable.Cancellable cancellable = null, gio.types.AsyncReadyCallback callback = null)

Tries to guess the type of content stored on mount. Returns one or more textual identifiers of well-known content types (typically prefixed with "x-content/"), e.g. x-content/image-dcf for camera memory cards. See the shared-mime-info specification for more on x-content types.

This is an asynchronous operation (see gio.mount.Mount.guessContentTypeSync for the synchronous version), and is finished by calling gio.mount.Mount.guessContentTypeFinish with the mount and #GAsyncResult data returned in the callback.

Parameters

`forceRescan`	Whether to force a rescan of the content. Otherwise a cached result will be used if available
`cancellable`	optional #GCancellable object, null to ignore
`callback`	a #GAsyncReadyCallback

string[] guessContentTypeFinish(gio.async_result.AsyncResult result)

Finishes guessing content types of mount. If any errors occurred during the operation, error will be set to contain the errors and false will be returned. In particular, you may get an gio.types.IOErrorEnum.NotSupported if the mount does not support content guessing.

Parameters

result a #GAsyncResult

Returns

a null-terminated array of content types or null on error.

Caller should free this array with glib.global.strfreev when done with it.

Throws

ErrorWrap

string[] guessContentTypeSync(bool forceRescan, gio.cancellable.Cancellable cancellable = null)

This is a synchronous operation and as such may block doing IO; see gio.mount.Mount.guessContentType for the asynchronous version.

Parameters

`forceRescan`	Whether to force a rescan of the content. Otherwise a cached result will be used if available
`cancellable`	optional #GCancellable object, null to ignore

Returns

a null-terminated array of content types or null on error.

Caller should free this array with glib.global.strfreev when done with it.

Throws

ErrorWrap

bool isShadowed()

Determines if mount is shadowed. Applications or libraries should avoid displaying mount in the user interface if it is shadowed.

A mount is said to be shadowed if there exists one or more user visible objects (currently #GMount objects) with a root that is inside the root of mount.

One application of shadow mounts is when exposing a single file system that is used to address several logical volumes. In this situation, a #GVolumeMonitor implementation would create two #GVolume objects (for example, one for the camera functionality of the device and one for a SD card reader on the device) with activation URIs gphoto2://[usb:001,002]/store1/ and gphoto2://[usb:001,002]/store2/. When the underlying mount (with root gphoto2://[usb:001,002]/) is mounted, said #GVolumeMonitor implementation would create two #GMount objects (each with their root matching the corresponding volume activation root) that would shadow the original mount.

The proxy monitor in GVfs 2.26 and later, automatically creates and manage shadow mounts (and shadows the underlying mount) if the activation root on a #GVolume is set.

Returns

true if mount is shadowed.

void remount(gio.types.MountMountFlags flags, gio.mount_operation.MountOperation mountOperation = null, gio.cancellable.Cancellable cancellable = null, gio.types.AsyncReadyCallback callback = null)

Remounts a mount. This is an asynchronous operation, and is finished by calling gio.mount.Mount.remountFinish with the mount and #GAsyncResults data returned in the callback.

Remounting is useful when some setting affecting the operation of the volume has been changed, as these may need a remount to take affect. While this is semantically equivalent with unmounting and then remounting not all backends might need to actually be unmounted.

Parameters

`flags`	flags affecting the operation
`mountOperation`	a #GMountOperation or null to avoid user interaction.
`cancellable`	optional #GCancellable object, null to ignore.
`callback`	a #GAsyncReadyCallback, or null.

bool remountFinish(gio.async_result.AsyncResult result)

Finishes remounting a mount. If any errors occurred during the operation, error will be set to contain the errors and false will be returned.

Parameters

result a #GAsyncResult.

Returns

true if the mount was successfully remounted. false otherwise.

Throws

ErrorWrap

void shadow()

Increments the shadow count on mount. Usually used by #GVolumeMonitor implementations when creating a shadow mount for mount, see gio.mount.Mount.isShadowed for more information. The caller will need to emit the #GMount::changed signal on mount manually.

void unmount(gio.types.MountUnmountFlags flags, gio.cancellable.Cancellable cancellable = null, gio.types.AsyncReadyCallback callback = null)

Unmounts a mount. This is an asynchronous operation, and is finished by calling gio.mount.Mount.unmountFinish with the mount and #GAsyncResult data returned in the callback.

Parameters

`flags`	flags affecting the operation
`cancellable`	optional #GCancellable object, null to ignore.
`callback`	a #GAsyncReadyCallback, or null.

Deprecated

Use gio.mount.Mount.unmountWithOperation instead.

bool unmountFinish(gio.async_result.AsyncResult result)

Finishes unmounting a mount. If any errors occurred during the operation, error will be set to contain the errors and false will be returned.

Parameters

result a #GAsyncResult.

Returns

true if the mount was successfully unmounted. false otherwise.

Throws

ErrorWrap

Deprecated

Use gio.mount.Mount.unmountWithOperationFinish instead.

void unmountWithOperation(gio.types.MountUnmountFlags flags, gio.mount_operation.MountOperation mountOperation = null, gio.cancellable.Cancellable cancellable = null, gio.types.AsyncReadyCallback callback = null)

`mountOperation`	a #GMountOperation or null to avoid user interaction.
`cancellable`	optional #GCancellable object, null to ignore.
`callback`	a #GAsyncReadyCallback, or null.

bool unmountWithOperationFinish(gio.async_result.AsyncResult result)

Finishes unmounting a mount. If any errors occurred during the operation, error will be set to contain the errors and false will be returned.

Parameters

result a #GAsyncResult.

Returns

true if the mount was successfully unmounted. false otherwise.

Throws

ErrorWrap

void unshadow()

Decrements the shadow count on mount. Usually used by #GVolumeMonitor implementations when destroying a shadow mount for mount, see gio.mount.Mount.isShadowed for more information. The caller will need to emit the #GMount::changed signal on mount manually.

gulong connectChanged(T)(T callback, Flag!"After" after = No.After) if (isCallable!T && is(ReturnType!T == void) && (Parameters!T.length < 1 || (ParameterStorageClassTuple!T[0] == ParameterStorageClass.none && is(Parameters!T[0] : gio.mount.Mount))) && Parameters!T.length < 2)

Connect to Changed signal.

Emitted when the mount has been changed.

Parameters

`callback`	signal callback delegate or function to connect `void callback(gio.mount.Mount mount)` `mount` the instance the signal is connected to (optional)
`after`	Yes.After to execute callback after default handler, No.After to execute before (default)

Returns

Signal ID

gulong connectPreUnmount(T)(T callback, Flag!"After" after = No.After) if (isCallable!T && is(ReturnType!T == void) && (Parameters!T.length < 1 || (ParameterStorageClassTuple!T[0] == ParameterStorageClass.none && is(Parameters!T[0] : gio.mount.Mount))) && Parameters!T.length < 2)

Connect to PreUnmount signal.

This signal may be emitted when the #GMount is about to be unmounted.

This signal depends on the backend and is only emitted if GIO was used to unmount.

Parameters

`callback`	signal callback delegate or function to connect `void callback(gio.mount.Mount mount)` `mount` the instance the signal is connected to (optional)
`after`	Yes.After to execute callback after default handler, No.After to execute before (default)

Returns

Signal ID

gulong connectUnmounted(T)(T callback, Flag!"After" after = No.After) if (isCallable!T && is(ReturnType!T == void) && (Parameters!T.length < 1 || (ParameterStorageClassTuple!T[0] == ParameterStorageClass.none && is(Parameters!T[0] : gio.mount.Mount))) && Parameters!T.length < 2)

Connect to Unmounted signal.

This signal is emitted when the #GMount have been unmounted. If the recipient is holding references to the object they should release them so the object can be finalized.

Parameters

`callback`	signal callback delegate or function to connect `void callback(gio.mount.Mount mount)` `mount` the instance the signal is connected to (optional)
`after`	Yes.After to execute callback after default handler, No.After to execute before (default)
