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

struct TrackerStorage

struct TrackerStorage {
	GObject parent;
};

A storage API for using mount points and devices

GObject parent;

parent object

struct TrackerStorageClass

struct TrackerStorageClass {
	GObjectClass parent_class;
};

A storage class for TrackerStorage.

GObjectClass parent_class;

parent object class

enum TrackerStorageType

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

Flags specifying properties of the type of storage.

TRACKER_STORAGE_REMOVABLE

Storage is a removable media

TRACKER_STORAGE_OPTICAL

Storage is an optical disc

Since 0.8


TRACKER_STORAGE_TYPE_IS_REMOVABLE()

#define TRACKER_STORAGE_TYPE_IS_REMOVABLE(type) ((type & TRACKER_STORAGE_REMOVABLE) ? TRUE : FALSE)

Check if the given storage type is marked as being removable media.

type :

Mask of TrackerStorageType flags

Returns :

TRUE if the storage is marked as removable media, FALSE otherwise

Since 0.10


TRACKER_STORAGE_TYPE_IS_OPTICAL()

#define TRACKER_STORAGE_TYPE_IS_OPTICAL(type) ((type & TRACKER_STORAGE_OPTICAL) ? TRUE : FALSE)

Check if the given storage type is marked as being optical disc

type :

Mask of TrackerStorageType flags

Returns :

TRUE if the storage is marked as optical disc, FALSE otherwise

Since 0.10


tracker_storage_new ()

TrackerStorage *    tracker_storage_new                 (void);

Creates a new instance of TrackerStorage.

Returns :

The newly created TrackerStorage.

Since 0.8


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(). [transfer full][element-type utf8]

Since 0.8


tracker_storage_get_device_uuids ()

GSList *            tracker_storage_get_device_uuids    (TrackerStorage *storage,

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(). [transfer full][element-type utf8]

Since 0.8

storage :

A TrackerStorage

uuid :

A string pointer to the UUID for the GVolume.

Returns :
