Formats size so that it is easy for the user to read. Gives the size in bytes, kilobytes, megabytes or gigabytes, choosing whatever is appropriate.

Filter, modify, unescape, and change textURI to make it appropriate for display to users.

Rules: A file: URI without fragments should appear as a local path. A file: URI with fragments should appear as file:uri. All other URIs appear as expected.

Launches the default application or component associated with the given URL.

Like urlShow, but using the specified environment variables.

Checks if commandString starts with the full path of an executable file or an executable in the system path.

Escapes string, replacing any and all special characters with equivalent escape sequences.

Escapes path, replacing only special characters that would not be found in paths (so '/', '&', and '=' will not be escaped by this function).

Escapes path, replacing only special characters that would not be found in a path or host name (so '/', '&', '=', ':' and '@' will not be escaped by this function).

Escapes only '/' and '%' characters in string, replacing them with their escape sequence equivalents.

Escapes the characters listed in matchSet in string.

Decodes escaped characters (i.e., %xx sequences) in escapedString. Characters are decoded in %xx form, where xx is the hex code for an ASCII character.

Similar to unescapeString, but returns something semi-intelligible to the user, even upon receiving traumatic input such as 00 or URIs in bad form.

WARNING: You should never use this function on a whole URI! It unescapes reserved characters, and can result in a mangled URI that can not be re-entered. For example, it unescapes '#', '&' and '?', which have special meanings in URI strings.

Standardizes the format of uri, so that it can be used later in other functions that expect a canonical URI.

Returns a canonicalized URI. If uri contains a fragment (anything after a '#'), it is stripped off, and the resulting URI is made canonical.

Returns a canonicalized path name.

Takes a user input path/URI and makes a valid URI out of it.

This function is the reverse of formatURIForDisplay.

Determine a fully qualified URI from a relative or absolute input path. The directories specified by dirs are searched when the path is relative.

Similar to makeURIFromInput, except:

1. guesses relative paths instead of HTTP domains
2. doesn't bother stripping leading/trailing white space
3. doesn't bother with tilde expansion -- that's done by the shell

If path begins with a tilde, representing the user's home directory, expand it to the actual directory.

Create a local path for a uri.

If uri is not a file:/// URI, or it contains a fragment identifier or is chained, this function returns Nothing.

Returns a file:/// URI for the local path localFullPath, such as a path provided by Graphics.UI.Gtk.Selectors.FileChooser.fileChooserGetFilename. The resulting URI may be provided, for instance, to System.Gnome.VFS.URI.uriFromString.

On Windows localFullPath should be in the UTF-8 encoding, and can start with a drive letter, but doesn't have to.

Returns the icon path for filename. Example:

iconPathFromFilename "nautilus/nautilus-desktop.png" will return a string forming the full path of the file nautilus-desktop.png, i.e. ${prefix}/share/pixmaps/nautilus/nautilus-desktop.png.

Stores the amount of free space in bytes on uri's volume in | size.

Compare two URIs.

Retrieves the scheme used in uri.

Check if the current thread is the thread with the main glib event loop.
