Function

Foundryfile_read_link_recurse

unstable since: 1.1

Declaration [src]

DexFuture*
foundry_file_read_link_recurse (
  GFile* file,
  guint max_depth
)

Description [src]

Asynchronously resolves file by repeatedly following symbolic links until the result is not a symbolic link, or max_depth steps have been taken.

Uses a “seen” set to detect cycles: if the same GFile is encountered again while resolving, the future rejects with G_IO_ERROR_FAILED and message “Symbolic link loop detected”.

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

Available since: 1.1

Parameters

file

Type: GFile

A GFile.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.

max_depth

Type: guint

Maximum number of symbolic links to resolve (must be > 0).

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.
