"standard" |
The "Standard" namespace. General file
information that any application may need should be put in this namespace.
Examples include the file's name, type, and size. |
"etag" |
The "Entity Tag"
namespace. Currently, the only key in this namespace is "value", which contains
the value of the current entity tag. |
"id" |
The "Identification" namespace. This
namespace is used by file managers and applications that list directories
to check for loops and to uniquely identify files. |
"access" |
The "Access" namespace. Used to check
if a user has the proper privilidges to access files and perform
file operations. Keys in this namespace are made to be generic
and easily understood, e.g. the "can_read" key is TRUE if
the current user has permission to read the file. UNIX permissions and
NTFS ACLs in Windows should be mapped to these values. |
"mountable" |
The "Mountable" namespace. Includes
simple boolean keys for checking if a file or path supports mount operations, e.g.
mount, unmount, eject. These are used for files of type G_FILE_TYPE_MOUNTABLE . |
"time" |
The "Time" namespace. Includes file
access, changed, created times. |
"unix" |
The "Unix" namespace. Includes UNIX-specific
information and may not be available for all files. Examples include
the UNIX "UID", "GID", etc. |
"dos" |
The "DOS" namespace. Includes DOS-specific
information and may not be available for all files. Examples include
"is_system" for checking if a file is marked as a system file, and "is_archive"
for checking if a file is marked as an archive file. |
"owner" |
The "Owner" namespace. Includes information
about who owns a file. May not be available for all file systems. Examples include
"user" for getting the user name of the file owner. This information is often mapped from
some backend specific data such as a unix UID. |
"thumbnail" |
The "Thumbnail" namespace. Includes
information about file thumbnails and their location within the file system. Exaples of
keys in this namespace include "path" to get the location of a thumbnail, and "failed"
to check if thumbnailing of the file failed. |
"filesystem" |
The "Filesystem" namespace. Gets information
about the file system where a file is located, such as its type, how much
space is left available, and the overall size of the file system. |
"gvfs" |
The "GVFS" namespace. Keys in this namespace
contain information about the current GVFS backend in use. |
"xattr" |
The "xattr" namespace. Gets information
about extended user attributes. See attr(5). The "user." prefix of the
extended user attribute name is stripped away when constructing keys in
this namespace, e.g. "xattr::mime_type" for the extended attribute with
the name "user.mime_type". Note that this information is only available
if GLib has been built with extended attribute support. |
"xattr-sys" |
The "xattr-sys" namespace.
Gets information about extended attributes which are not user-specific.
See attr(5). Note that this information is only available if GLib
has been built with extended attribute support. |
"selinux" |
The "SELinux" namespace. Includes
information about the SELinux context of files. Note that this information
is only available if GLib has been built with SELinux support. |
Please note that these are not all of the possible namespaces.
More namespaces can be added from GIO modules or by individual applications.
For more information about writing GIO modules, see

Note that there are no predefined keys in the "xattr" and "xattr-sys"
namespaces. Keys for the "xattr" namespace are constructed by stripping
away the "user." prefix from the extended user attribute, and prepending
"xattr::". Keys for the "xattr-sys" namespace are constructed by
concatenating "xattr-sys::" with the extended attribute name. All extended
attribute values are returned as hex-encoded strings in which bytes outside
the ASCII range are encoded as hexadecimal escape sequences of the form
\x\varnn.
