## Detailed Description

FileAttributeMatcher allows for searching through a FileInfo for attributes.

Since glibmm 2.16:

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Gio::FileAttributeMatcher::FileAttributeMatcher | ( |  | ) | `[protected]`

## Member Function Documentation

static Glib::RefPtr<FileAttributeMatcher> Gio::FileAttributeMatcher::create | ( | const std::string & | attributes = `"*"` | ) | `[static]`

Creates a new file attribute matcher, which matches attributes against a given string.

The attribute string should be formatted with specific keys separated from namespaces with a double colon. Several "namespace::key" strings may be concatenated with a single comma (e.g. "standard::type,standard::is-hidden"). The wildcard "*" may be used to match all keys and namespaces, or "namespace::*" will match all keys in a given namespace.

Parameters:

  | attributes | The attributes string.

Returns:
  a new FileAttributeMatcher.

bool Gio::FileAttributeMatcher::enumerate_namespace | ( | const std::string & | ns | ) |

Checks if the matcher will match all of the keys in a given namespace.

This will always return `true` if a wildcard character is in use (e.g. if matcher was created with "standard::*" and ns is "standard", or if matcher was created using "*" and namespace is anything.)

TODO: this is awkwardly worded.

Parameters:

  | ns | A string containing a file attribute namespace.

Returns:
  `true` if the matcher matches all of the entries in the given ns, `false` otherwise.

std::string Gio::FileAttributeMatcher::enumerate_next | ( |  | ) |

Gets the next matched attribute from a FileAttributeMatcher.

Returns:
  A string containing the next attribute or `0` if no more attribute exist.

const GFileAttributeMatcher* Gio::FileAttributeMatcher::gobj | ( |  | ) | const

Provides access to the underlying C instance.

GFileAttributeMatcher* Gio::FileAttributeMatcher::gobj | ( |  | ) |

Provides access to the underlying C instance.

GFileAttributeMatcher* Gio::FileAttributeMatcher::gobj_copy | ( |  | ) | const

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

bool Gio::FileAttributeMatcher::matches | ( | const std::string & | full_name | ) | const

Checks if an attribute will be matched by an attribute matcher.

If the matcher was created with the "*" matching string, this function will always return `true`.

Parameters:

  | attribute | A file attribute key.

Returns:
  `true` if attribute matches matcher. `false` otherwise.

bool Gio::FileAttributeMatcher::matches_only | ( | const std::string & | full_name | ) | const

Checks if a attribute matcher only matches a given attribute.

Always Returns: `true` if the matcher only matches attribute. `false` otherwise.

Parameters:

  | attribute | A file attribute key.

Returns:
  `true` if the matcher only matches attribute. `false` otherwise.

## Friends And Related Function Documentation

Glib::RefPtr< Gio::FileAttributeMatcher > wrap | ( | GFileAttributeMatcher * | object,
|  | bool | take_copy = `false` |
| ) |  |  | `[related]`

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters:

  | object | The C instance.
  | take_copy | False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.

Returns:
  A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
