Function

Foundryfile_read_link

unstable since: 1.1

Declaration [src]

DexFuture*
foundry_file_read_link (
  GFile* file
)

Description [src]

Asynchronously resolves file if it is a symbolic link.

If file is not a symbolic link (as determined by g_file_query_info() with G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_IS_SYMLINK), the future resolves to file itself. If it is a symbolic link, the link target is read with Gio.File.read_link and a new GFile for the resolved path is returned. On failure, the future rejects with an error.

The work is performed in a fiber on the thread pool scheduler.

Available since: 1.1

Parameters

The data is owned by the caller of the function.

Return value

Type: DexFuture

A DexFuture that resolves to a GFile, or rejects with GError.

The caller of the function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
