gFileHasPrefix: gFileHasPrefix

Description

Checks whether file has the prefix specified by prefix. In other word, if the names of inital elements of files pathname match prefix. Only full pathname elements are matched, so a path like /foo is not considered a prefix of /foobar, only of /foo/bar.

Usage

gFileHasPrefix(object, descendant)

Arguments

object
input GFile.
descendant
input GFile.

Value

TRUE if the files's parent, grandparent, etc is prefix. FALSE otherwise.

Details

This call does no i/o, as it works purely on names. As such it can sometimes return FALSE even if file is inside a prefix (from a filesystem point of view), because the prefix of file is an alias of prefix.
