Description

Synopsis

Details

FileEnumerator allows you to operate on a set of Files, returning a FileInfo structure for each file enumerated (e.g. fileEnumerateChildren will return a FileEnumerator for each of the children within a directory).

To get the next file's information from a FileEnumerator, use fileEnumeratorNextFile or its asynchronous version, fileEnumeratorNextFilesAsync. Note that the asynchronous version will return a list of FileInfo, whereas the synchronous will only return the next file in the enumerator.

To close a FileEnumerator, use fileEnumeratorClose, or its asynchronous version, fileEnumeratorCloseAsync.

Methods

fileEnumeratorNextFile Source

Arguments

:: FileEnumeratorClass enumerator
=> enumerator
-> Maybe Cancellable	`cancellable` optional `Cancellable` object, `Nothing` to ignore.
-> IO (Maybe FileInfo)	returns A `FileInfo` or `Nothing` on error or end of enumerator.

Returns information for the next file in the enumerated object. Will block until the information is available. The FileInfo returned from this function will contain attributes that match the attribute string that was passed when the FileEnumerator was created.

On error, a GError is thrown. If the enumerator is at the end, Nothing will be returned.

fileEnumeratorClose Source

Arguments

:: FileEnumeratorClass enumerator
=> enumerator
-> Maybe Cancellable	`cancellable` optional `Cancellable` object, `Nothing` to ignore.
-> IO ()

Releases all resources used by this enumerator, making the enumerator return GIoErrorClosed on all calls.

This will be automatically called when the last reference is dropped, but you might want to call this function to make sure resources are released as early as possible.

Throws a GError if an error occurs.

fileEnumeratorNextFilesAsync Source

Arguments

:: FileEnumeratorClass enumerator
=> enumerator
-> Int	`numFiles` the number of file info objects to request
-> Int	`ioPriority` the io priority of the request.
-> Maybe Cancellable	`cancellable` optional `Cancellable` object, `Nothing` to ignore.
-> AsyncReadyCallback	`callback` a `AsyncReadyCallback` to call when the request is satisfied
-> IO ()

Request information for a number of files from the enumerator asynchronously. When all i/o for the operation is finished the callback will be called with the requested information.

The callback can be called with less than numFiles files in case of error or at the end of the enumerator. In case of a partial error the callback will be called with any succeeding items and no error, and on the next request the error will be reported. If a request is cancelled the callback will be called with IoErrorCancelled.

During an async request no other sync and async calls are allowed, and will result in IoErrorPending errors.

Any outstanding i/o request with higher priority (lower numerical value) will be executed before an outstanding request with lower priority. Default priority is GPriorityDefault.

fileEnumeratorNextFilesFinish :: FileEnumeratorClass enumerator => enumerator -> AsyncResult -> IO [FileInfo]Source

Finishes the asynchronous operation started with fileEnumeratorNextFilesAsync.

fileEnumeratorCloseAsync Source

Arguments

:: FileEnumeratorClass enumerator
=> enumerator
-> Int	`ioPriority` the I/O priority of the request.
-> Maybe Cancellable	`cancellable` optional `Cancellable` object, `Nothing` to ignore.
-> AsyncReadyCallback	`callback` a `AsyncReadyCallback` to call when the request is satisfied
-> IO ()

Asynchronously closes the file enumerator.

If cancellable is not Nothing, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IoErrorCancelled will be returned in fileEnumeratorCloseFinish.

fileEnumeratorCloseFinish :: FileEnumeratorClass enumerator => enumerator -> AsyncResult -> IO ()Source

Finishes closing a file enumerator, started from fileEnumeratorCloseAsync.

If the file enumerator was already closed when fileEnumeratorCloseAsync was called, then this function will report GIoErrorClosed in error, and return False. If the file enumerator had pending operation when the close operation was started, then this function will report IoErrorPending, and return False. If cancellable was not Nothing, then the operation may have been cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the GError IoErrorCancelled will be thrown.

fileEnumeratorIsClosed Source

Arguments

:: FileEnumeratorClass enumerator
=> enumerator
-> IO Bool	returns `True` if the enumerator is closed.

Checks if the file enumerator has been closed.

fileEnumeratorHasPending Source

Arguments

:: FileEnumeratorClass enumerator
=> enumerator
-> IO Bool	returns `True` if the enumerator has pending operations.

Checks if the file enumerator has pending operations.

fileEnumeratorSetPending :: FileEnumeratorClass enumerator => enumerator -> Bool -> IO ()Source

Sets the file enumerator as having pending operations.

fileEnumeratorGetContainer :: FileEnumeratorClass enumerator => enumerator -> IO File Source

Get the File container which is being enumerated.
