get_parse_name


Description:

public abstract string get_parse_name ()

Gets the parse name of the this.

A parse name is a UTF-8 string that describes the file such that one can get the File back using parse_name.

This is generally used to show the File as a nice full-pathname kind of string in a user interface, like in a location entry.

For local files with names that can safely be converted to UTF-8 the pathname is used, otherwise the IRI is used (a form of URI that allows UTF-8 characters unescaped).

This call does no blocking I/O.

Parameters:

this

input File

Returns:

a string containing the File's parse name. The returned string should be freed with g_free when no longer needed.
