FileAttributeMatcher.this

Creates a new file attribute matcher, which matches attributes against a given string. #GFileAttributeMatchers are reference counted structures, and are created with a reference count of 1. If the number of references falls to 0, the #GFileAttributeMatcher is automatically destroyed.

The attributes 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.

Examples of file attribute matcher strings and results

• "*": matches all attributes.
• "standard::is-hidden": matches only the key is-hidden in the standard namespace.
• "standard::type,unix::*": matches the type key in the standard namespace and all keys in the unix namespace.
