Description

This API is a convenience to to be able to keep track of volumes which are mounted and also the type of removable media available. The API is built upon the top of GIO's GMount, GDrive and GVolume API.

Details

TrackerStorage

typedef struct {
	GObject parent;
} TrackerStorage;


TrackerStorageClass

typedef struct {
	GObjectClass parent_class;
} TrackerStorageClass;


enum TrackerStorageType

typedef enum {
	TRACKER_STORAGE_REMOVABLE = 1 << 0,
	TRACKER_STORAGE_OPTICAL   = 1 << 1
} TrackerStorageType;


tracker_storage_new ()

TrackerStorage *    tracker_storage_new                 (void);

Creates a new instance of TrackerStorage.

Returns :

The newly created TrackerStorage.

tracker_storage_get_device_roots ()

GSList *            tracker_storage_get_device_roots    (TrackerStorage *storage,
                                                         TrackerStorageType type,
                                                         gboolean exact_match);

storage :

A TrackerStorage

type :

A TrackerStorageType

exact_match :

if all devices should exactly match the types

Returns :

a GSList of strings containing the root directories for devices with type based on exact_match. Each element must be freed using g_free() and the list itself through g_slist_free().

tracker_storage_get_device_uuids ()

GSList *            tracker_storage_get_device_uuids    (TrackerStorage *storage,
                                                         TrackerStorageType type,
                                                         gboolean exact_match);

storage :

A TrackerStorage

type :

A TrackerStorageType

exact_match :

if all devices should exactly match the types

Returns :

a GSList of strings containing the UUID for devices with type based on exact_match. Each element must be freed using g_free() and the list itself through g_slist_free().

tracker_storage_get_mount_point_for_uuid ()

const gchar *       tracker_storage_get_mount_point_for_uuid
                                                        (TrackerStorage *storage,
                                                         const gchar *uuid);

storage :

A TrackerStorage

uuid :

A string pointer to the UUID for the GVolume.

Returns :

The mount point for uuid, this should not be freed.

tracker_storage_get_uuid_for_file ()

const gchar*        tracker_storage_get_uuid_for_file   (TrackerStorage *storage,
                                                         GFile *file);

Returns the UUID of the removable device for file

storage :

A TrackerStorage

file :

a file

Returns :

Returns the UUID of the removable device for file, this should not be freed.
