RGtk2 (version 2.20.31)

gtkShowUri: gtkShowUri

Description

This is a convenience function for launching the default application to show the uri. The uri must be of a form understood by GIO. Typical examples are
  • file:///home/gnome/pict.jpg
  • http://www.gnome.org
  • mailto:me

Ideally the timestamp is taken from the event triggering the gtkShowUri call. If timestamp is not known you can take GDK_CURRENT_TIME.

Arguments

screen
screen to show the uri on or NULL for the default screen. [ allow-none ]
uri

timestamp

Value

A list containing the following elements:
retval
[logical] TRUE on success, FALSE on error.
error
a GError that is returned in case of errors
