gFileQueryFilesystemInfo: gFileQueryFilesystemInfo
Description
Similar to gFileQueryInfo, but obtains information
about the filesystem the file is on, rather than the file itself.
For instance the amount of space available and the type of
the filesystem.Usage

Arguments
attributes
an attribute query string.
.errwarn
Whether to issue a warning on error or fail silently
Value
A list containing the following elements:
- retval
- [
GFileInfo] a GFileInfo or NULL if there was an error. error- a
GError.
Details
The attribute value is a string that specifies the file attributes that
should be gathered. It is not an error if it's not possible to read a particular
requested attribute from a file - it just won't be set. attribute should
be a comma-separated list of attribute or attribute wildcards. The wildcard "*"
means all attributes, and a wildcard like "fs:*" means all attributes in the fs
namespace. The standard namespace for filesystem attributes is "fs".
Common attributes of interest are G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_FILESYSTEM_SIZE
(the total size of the filesystem in bytes), G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_FILESYSTEM_FREE (number of
bytes available), and G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_FILESYSTEM_TYPE (type of the filesystem).
If cancellable is not NULL, then the operation can be cancelled by
triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation
was cancelled, the error G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned.
If the file does not exist, the G_IO_ERROR_NOT_FOUND error will be returned.
Other errors are possible too, and depend on what kind of filesystem the file is on.
