Hierarchy

GObject +----GFileInfo

Detailed Description

Functionality for manipulating basic metadata for files. GFileInfo implements methods for getting information that all files should contain, and allows for manipulation of extended attributes. See GFileAttribute for more information on how GIO handles file attributes. To obtain a GFileInfo for a GFile, use gFileQueryInfo (or its async variant). To obtain a GFileInfo for a file input or output stream, use gFileInputStreamQueryInfo or gFileOutputStreamQueryInfo (or their async variants). To change the actual attributes of a file, you should then set the attribute in the GFileInfo and call gFileSetAttributesFromInfo or gFileSetAttributesAsync on a GFile. However, not all attributes can be changed in the file. For instance, the actual size of a file cannot be changed via gFileInfoSetSize. You may call gFileQuerySettableAttributes and gFileQueryWritableNamespaces to discover the settable attributes of a particular file at runtime. GFileAttributeMatcher allows for searching through a GFileInfo for attributes.

Convenient Construction

gFileInfo is the equivalent of gFileInfoNew.
