gFileGetParseName: gFileGetParseName

Description

Gets the parse name of the file. A parse name is a UTF-8 string that describes the file such that one can get the GFile back using gFileParseName.

Usage

gFileGetParseName(object)

Arguments

object
input GFile.

Value

GFile's parse name.

Details

This is generally used to show the GFile as a nice full-pathname kind of string in a user interface, like in a location entry. For local files with names that can safely be converted to UTF8 the pathname is used, otherwise the IRI is used (a form of URI that allows UTF8 characters unescaped). This call does no blocking i/o.
