Virtual Method
GioFilemove
Declaration
gboolean
move (
GFile* source,
GFile* destination,
GFileCopyFlags flags,
GCancellable* cancellable,
GFileProgressCallback progress_callback,
gpointer progress_callback_data,
GError** error
)
Description
Tries to move the file or directory source to the location specified
by destination. If native move operations are supported then this is
used, otherwise a copy + delete fallback is used. The native
implementation may support moving directories (for instance on moves
inside the same filesystem), but the fallback code does not.
If the flag G_FILE_COPY_OVERWRITE is specified an already
existing destination file is overwritten.
If cancellable is not NULL, then the operation can be cancelled by
triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation
was cancelled, the error G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned.
If progress_callback is not NULL, then the operation can be monitored
by setting this to a GFileProgressCallback function.
progress_callback_data will be passed to this function. It is
guaranteed that this callback will be called after all data has been
transferred with the total number of bytes copied during the operation.
If the source file does not exist, then the G_IO_ERROR_NOT_FOUND
error is returned, independent on the status of the destination.
If G_FILE_COPY_OVERWRITE is not specified and the target exists,
then the error G_IO_ERROR_EXISTS is returned.
If trying to overwrite a file over a directory, the G_IO_ERROR_IS_DIRECTORY
error is returned. If trying to overwrite a directory with a directory the
G_IO_ERROR_WOULD_MERGE error is returned.
If the source is a directory and the target does not exist, or
G_FILE_COPY_OVERWRITE is specified and the target is a file, then
the G_IO_ERROR_WOULD_RECURSE error may be returned (if the native
move operation isn’t available).
Parameters
destination-
Type:
GFileGFilepointing to the destination location.The data is owned by the caller of the method. flags-
Type:
GFileCopyFlagsSet of
GFileCopyFlags. cancellable-
Type:
GCancellableOptional
GCancellableobject,NULLto ignore.The argument can be NULL.The data is owned by the caller of the method. progress_callback-
Type:
GFileProgressCallbackGFileProgressCallbackfunction for updates. progress_callback_data-
Type:
gpointerGpointer to user data for the callback function.
The argument can be NULL.The data is owned by the caller of the method. error-
Type:
GError **The return location for a recoverable error.
The argument can be NULL.If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to aNULLGError*.The argument will be left initialized to NULLby the virtual function if there are no errors.In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.
