[transfer full]

Since: 2.44


g_unix_mount_monitor_new ()

GUnixMountMonitor *
g_unix_mount_monitor_new (void);

g_unix_mount_monitor_new has been deprecated since version 2.44 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use g_unix_mount_monitor_get() instead.

Deprecated alias for g_unix_mount_monitor_get().

This function was never a true constructor, which is why it was renamed.

Returns

a GUnixMountMonitor.


g_unix_mount_monitor_set_rate_limit ()

void
g_unix_mount_monitor_set_rate_limit (GUnixMountMonitor *mount_monitor,
                                     int limit_msec);

g_unix_mount_monitor_set_rate_limit has been deprecated since version 2.44 and should not be used in newly-written code.

This function does nothing. Don't call it.

This function does nothing.

Before 2.44, this was a partially-effective way of controlling the rate at which events would be reported under some uncommon circumstances. Since mount_monitor is a singleton, it also meant that calling this function would have side effects for other users of the monitor.

Parameters

mount_monitor

a GUnixMountMonitor

 

limit_msec

a integer with the limit in milliseconds to poll for changes.

 

Since: 2.18


g_unix_is_mount_path_system_internal ()

gboolean
g_unix_is_mount_path_system_internal (const char *mount_path);

Determines if mount_path is considered an implementation of the OS. This is primarily used for hiding mountable and mounted volumes that only are used in the OS and has little to no relevance to the casual user.

Parameters

mount_path

a mount path, e.g. /media/disk or /usr.

[type filename]

Returns

TRUE if mount_path is considered an implementation detail of the OS.


g_unix_is_system_fs_type ()

gboolean
g_unix_is_system_fs_type (const char *fs_type);

Determines if fs_type is considered a type of file system which is only used in implementation of the OS. This is primarily used for hiding mounted volumes that are intended as APIs for programs to read, and system administrators at a shell; rather than something that should, for example, appear in a GUI. For example, the Linux /proc filesystem.

The list of file system types considered ‘system’ ones may change over time.

Parameters

fs_type

a file system type, e.g. procfs or tmpfs

 

Returns

TRUE if fs_type is considered an implementation detail of the OS.

Since: 2.56


g_unix_is_system_device_path ()

gboolean
g_unix_is_system_device_path (const char *device_path);

Determines if device_path is considered a block device path which is only used in implementation of the OS. This is primarily used for hiding mounted volumes that are intended as APIs for programs to read, and system administrators at a shell; rather than something that should, for example, appear in a GUI. For example, the Linux /proc filesystem.

The list of device paths considered ‘system’ ones may change over time.

Parameters

device_path

a device path, e.g. /dev/loop0 or nfsd

 

Returns

TRUE if device_path is considered an implementation detail of the OS.

Since: 2.56

Types and Values

GUnixMountPoint

typedef struct _GUnixMountPoint GUnixMountPoint;

GUnixMountEntry

typedef struct _GUnixMountEntry GUnixMountEntry;

Defines a Unix mount entry (e.g. <filename>/media/cdrom</filename>). This corresponds roughly to a mtab entry.


GUnixMountMonitor

typedef struct _GUnixMountMonitor GUnixMountMonitor;

Watches GUnixMounts for changes.
