Detailed Description

The Volume interface represents user-visible objects that can be mounted.

Mounting a Volume instance is an asynchronous operation. For more information about asynchronous operations, see AsyncReady and SimpleAsyncReady. To mount a GVolume, first call mount(), optionally providing a MountOperation object and a SlotAsyncReady callback.

Typically, you will not want to provide a MountOperation if automounting all volumes when a desktop session starts since it's not desirable to put up a lot of dialogs asking for credentials.

The callback will be fired when the operation has resolved (either with success or failure), and a AsyncReady structure will be passed to the callback. That callback should then call g_volume_mount_finish() with the GVolume instance and the GAsyncReady data to see if the operation was completed successfully. If an error is present when finish() is called, then it will be filled with any error information.

	)

bool Gio::Volume::eject_finish ( const Glib::RefPtr< AsyncResult >& result )

Finishes ejecting a volume.

If any errors occurred during the operation, error will be set to contain the errors and false will be returned.

Since glibmm 2.22:

Parameters

result A AsyncResult.

Returns: true if the volume was successfully ejected. false otherwise.

Exceptions

Glib::Error

std::vector<Glib::ustring> Gio::Volume::enumerate_identifiers ( ) const

Gets the kinds of [identifiers][volume-identifier] that volume has.

Use g_volume_get_identifier() to obtain the identifiers themselves.

Returns: A nullptr-terminated array of strings containing kinds of identifiers.

Glib::RefPtr<File> Gio::Volume::get_activation_root ( )

Gets the activation root for a Volume if it is known ahead of mount time.

Returns nullptr otherwise. If not nullptr and if volume is mounted, then the result of g_mount_get_root() on the Mount object obtained from g_volume_get_mount() will always either be equal or a prefix of what this function returns. In other words, in code

[C example ellipted] then the expression

[C example ellipted] will always be true.

Activation roots are typically used in VolumeMonitor implementations to find the underlying mount to shadow, see g_mount_is_shadowed() for more details.

Since glibmm 2.18:

Returns: The activation root of volume or nullptr. Use Glib::object_unref() to free.

Glib::RefPtr<const File> Gio::Volume::get_activation_root ( ) const

Gets the activation root for a Volume if it is known ahead of mount time.

[C example ellipted] then the expression

[C example ellipted] will always be true.

Activation roots are typically used in VolumeMonitor implementations to find the underlying mount to shadow, see g_mount_is_shadowed() for more details.

Since glibmm 2.18:

Returns: The activation root of volume or nullptr. Use Glib::object_unref() to free.

Glib::RefPtr<Drive> Gio::Volume::get_drive ( )

Gets the drive for the volume.

Returns: A Drive or nullptr if volume is not associated with a drive. The returned object should be unreffed with Glib::object_unref() when no longer needed.

Glib::RefPtr<const Drive> Gio::Volume::get_drive ( ) const

Gets the drive for the volume.

Returns: A Drive or nullptr if volume is not associated with a drive. The returned object should be unreffed with Glib::object_unref() when no longer needed.

Glib::RefPtr<Icon> Gio::Volume::get_icon ( )

Gets the icon for volume.

Returns: A Icon. The returned object should be unreffed with Glib::object_unref() when no longer needed.

Glib::RefPtr<const Icon> Gio::Volume::get_icon ( ) const

Gets the icon for volume.

Returns: A Icon. The returned object should be unreffed with Glib::object_unref() when no longer needed.

std::string Gio::Volume::get_identifier ( const std::string & kind ) const

Gets the identifier of the given kind for volume.

See the [introduction][volume-identifier] for more information about volume identifiers.

Parameters

kind	The kind of identifier to return.

Returns: A newly allocated string containing the requested identifier, or nullptr if the Volume doesn't have this kind of identifier.

Glib::RefPtr<Mount> Gio::Volume::get_mount ( )

Gets the mount for the volume.

Returns: A Mount or nullptr if volume isn't mounted. The returned object should be unreffed with Glib::object_unref() when no longer needed.

Glib::RefPtr<const Mount> Gio::Volume::get_mount ( ) const

Gets the mount for the volume.

Returns: A Mount or nullptr if volume isn't mounted. The returned object should be unreffed with Glib::object_unref() when no longer needed.

std::string Gio::Volume::get_name ( ) const

Gets the name of volume.

Returns: The name for the given volume.

Glib::RefPtr<Icon> Gio::Volume::get_symbolic_icon ( )

Gets the symbolic icon for volume.

Returns: A Icon. The returned object should be unreffed with Glib::object_unref() when no longer needed.

Glib::RefPtr<const Icon> Gio::Volume::get_symbolic_icon ( ) const

Gets the symbolic icon for volume.

Since glibmm 2.34:

Returns: A Icon. The returned object should be unreffed with Glib::object_unref() when no longer needed.

static GType Gio::Volume::get_type ( )

static

Get the GType for this class, for use with the underlying GObject type system.

std::string Gio::Volume::get_uuid ( ) const

Gets the UUID for the volume.

The reference is typically based on the file system UUID for the volume in question and should be considered an opaque string. Returns nullptr if there is no UUID available.

Returns: The UUID for volume or nullptr if no UUID can be computed.

GVolume* Gio::Volume::gobj ( )

inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

const GVolume* Gio::Volume::gobj ( ) const

void Gio::Volume::mount	(	const Glib::RefPtr< MountOperation >&	mount_operation,
		const SlotAsyncReady &	slot,
		const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >&	cancellable,
		Mount::MountFlags	flags = `Mount::MountFlags::NONE`
	)

Mounts a volume.

This is an asynchronous operation, and is finished by calling mount_finish() with the AsyncResult data returned in the callback slot.

Parameters

mount_operation	A mount operation.
slot	A callback which will be called when the operation is completed or canceled.
cancellable	A cancellable object which can be used to cancel the operation.
flags	Flags affecting the operation.

void Gio::Volume::mount	(	const Glib::RefPtr< MountOperation >&	mount_operation,
		const SlotAsyncReady &	slot,
		Mount::MountFlags	flags = `Mount::MountFlags::NONE`
	)

Mounts a volume.

This is an asynchronous operation, and is finished by calling mount_finish() with the AsyncResult data returned in the callback slot.

Parameters

mount_operation	A mount operation.
slot	A callback which will be called when the operation is completed or canceled.
flags	Flags affecting the operation.

void Gio::Volume::mount	(	const Glib::RefPtr< MountOperation >&	mount_operation,
		Mount::MountFlags	flags = `Mount::MountFlags::NONE`
	)

Mounts a volume.

Parameters

mount_operation	A mount operation.
flags	Flags affecting the operation.

void Gio::Volume::mount ( Mount::MountFlags flags = Mount::MountFlags::NONE )

Mounts a volume.

Parameters

flags Flags affecting the operation.

bool Gio::Volume::mount_finish ( const Glib::RefPtr< AsyncResult >& result )

Finishes mounting a volume.

If any errors occurred during the operation, error will be set to contain the errors and false will be returned.

If the mount operation succeeded, g_volume_get_mount() on volume is guaranteed to return the mount right after calling this function; there's no need to listen for the 'mount-added' signal on VolumeMonitor.

Parameters

result A AsyncResult.

Returns: true, false if operation failed.

Exceptions

Glib::Error

virtual void Gio::Volume::on_changed ( )

protectedvirtual

This is a default handler for the signal signal_changed().

virtual void Gio::Volume::on_removed ( )

protectedvirtual

This is a default handler for the signal signal_removed().

Volume& Gio::Volume::operator= ( Volume&& src )

noexcept

bool Gio::Volume::should_automount ( ) const

Returns whether the volume should be automatically mounted.

Returns: true if the volume should be automatically mounted.

Flags: Run Last

Emitted when the volume has been changed.

Glib::SignalProxy<void()> Gio::Volume::signal_removed ( )

Slot Prototype:: void on_my_removed()
