PathBuf

glib.path_buf.PathBuf is a helper type that allows you to easily build paths from individual elements, using the platform specific conventions for path separators.

g_auto (GPathBuf) path;

g_path_buf_init (&path);

g_path_buf_push (&path, "usr");
g_path_buf_push (&path, "bin");
g_path_buf_push (&path, "echo");

g_autofree char *echo = g_path_buf_to_path (&path);
g_assert_cmpstr (echo, ==, "/usr/bin/echo");

You can also load a full path and then operate on its components:

g_auto (GPathBuf) path;

g_path_buf_init_from_path (&path, "/usr/bin/echo");

g_path_buf_pop (&path);
g_path_buf_push (&path, "sh");

g_autofree char *sh = g_path_buf_to_path (&path);
g_assert_cmpstr (sh, ==, "/usr/bin/sh");

class PathBuf {

GPathBuf cInstance;

void clear();

string clearToPath();

string freeToPath();

glib.path_buf.PathBuf init_();

glib.path_buf.PathBuf initFromPath(string path);

bool pop();

glib.path_buf.PathBuf push(string path);

bool setExtension(string extension);

bool setFilename(string fileName);

string toPath();

static bool equal(const(void)* v1, const(void)* v2);

}

Members

Functions

clear void clear(): Clears the contents of the path buffer.
clearToPath string clearToPath(): Clears the contents of the path buffer and returns the built path.
freeToPath string freeToPath(): Frees a glib.path_buf.PathBuf allocated by glib.path_buf.PathBuf.new_, and returns the path inside the buffer.
initFromPath glib.path_buf.PathBuf initFromPath(string path): Initializes a glib.path_buf.PathBuf instance with the given path.
init_ glib.path_buf.PathBuf init_(): Initializes a glib.path_buf.PathBuf instance.
pop bool pop(): Removes the last element of the path buffer.
push glib.path_buf.PathBuf push(string path): Extends the given path buffer with path.
setExtension bool setExtension(string extension): Adds an extension to the file name in the path buffer.
setFilename bool setFilename(string fileName): Sets the file name of the path.
toPath string toPath(): Retrieves the built path from the path buffer.

Static functions

equal bool equal(const(void)* v1, const(void)* v2): Compares two path buffers for equality and returns TRUE if they are equal.
