Details

GFilenameCompleter

typedef struct _GFilenameCompleter GFilenameCompleter;

Completes filenames based on files that exist within the file system.

g_filename_completer_new ()

GFilenameCompleter* g_filename_completer_new            (void);

Creates a new filename completer.

Returns : a GFilenameCompleter.

g_filename_completer_get_completion_suffix ()

char*               g_filename_completer_get_completion_suffix
                                                        (GFilenameCompleter *completer,
                                                         const char *initial_text);

Obtains a completion for initial_text from completer.

completer : the filename completer.
initial_text : text to be completed.
Returns : a completed string, or NULL if no completion exists. This string is not owned by GIO, so remember to g_free() it when finished.

g_filename_completer_get_completions ()

char**              g_filename_completer_get_completions
                                                        (GFilenameCompleter *completer,
                                                         const char *initial_text);

Gets an array of completion strings for a given initial text.

completer : the filename completer.
initial_text : text to be completed.
Returns : array of strings with possible completions for initial_text. This array must be freed by g_strfreev() when finished.

g_filename_completer_set_dirs_only ()

void                g_filename_completer_set_dirs_only  (GFilenameCompleter *completer,
                                                         gboolean dirs_only);

If dirs_only is TRUE, completer will only complete directory names, and not file names.

completer : the filename completer.
dirs_only : a gboolean.

Emitted when the file name completion information comes available.

user_data : user data set when the signal handler was connected.
