Memory-managed wrapper type.

Type class for types which can be safely cast to Vfs, for instance with toVfs.

Cast to Vfs, for types for which this is known to be safe. For general casts, use castTo.

Gets the default Vfs for the system.

Gets a File for path.

Gets a File for uri.

This operation never fails, but the returned object might not support any I/O operation if the URI is malformed or if the URI scheme is not supported.

Gets the local Vfs for the system.

Gets a list of URI schemes supported by vfs.

Checks if the VFS is active.

This operation never fails, but the returned object might not support any I/O operations if the parseName cannot be parsed by the Vfs module.

Registers uriFunc and parseNameFunc as the File URI and parse name lookup functions for URIs with a scheme matching scheme. Note that scheme is registered only within the running application, as opposed to desktop-wide as it happens with GVfs backends.

When a File is requested with an URI containing scheme (e.g. through fileNewForUri), uriFunc will be called to allow a custom constructor. The implementation of uriFunc should not be blocking, and must not call vfsRegisterUriScheme or vfsUnregisterUriScheme.

When fileParseName is called with a parse name obtained from such file, parseNameFunc will be called to allow the File to be created again. In that case, it's responsibility of parseNameFunc to make sure the parse name matches what the custom File implementation returned when fileGetParseName was previously called. The implementation of parseNameFunc should not be blocking, and must not call vfsRegisterUriScheme or vfsUnregisterUriScheme.

It's an error to call this function twice with the same scheme. To unregister a custom URI scheme, use vfsUnregisterUriScheme.

Since: 2.50

Unregisters the URI handler for scheme previously registered with vfsRegisterUriScheme.
