The GVolume interface represents user-visible objects that can be mounted. Note, when porting from GnomeVFS, GVolume is the moral equivalent of GnomeVFSDrive.
Mounting a GVolume instance is an asynchronous operation. For more information about asynchronous operations, see GAsyncReady and GSimpleAsyncReady. To mount a GVolume, first call g_volume_mount() with (at least) the GVolume instance, optionally a GMountOperation object and a GAsyncReadyCallback.
Typically, one will only want to pass NULL for the GMountOperation if automounting all volumes when a desktop session starts since it's not desirable to put up a lot of dialogs asking for credentials.
The callback will be fired when the operation has resolved (either with success or failure), and a GAsyncReady structure will be passed to the callback. That callback should then call g_volume_mount_finish() with the GVolume instance and the GAsyncReady data to see if the operation was completed successfully. If an error is present when g_volume_mount_finish() is called, then it will be filled with any error information.
It is sometimes necessary to directly access the underlying operating system object behind a volume (e.g. for passing a volume to an application via the commandline). For this purpose, GIO allows to obtain an 'identifier' for the volume. There can be different kinds of identifiers, such as Hal UDIs, filesystem labels, traditional Unix devices (e.g. /dev/sda2), uuids. GIO uses predefind strings as names for the different kinds of identifiers: G_VOLUME_IDENTIFIER_KIND_HAL_UDI, G_VOLUME_IDENTIFIER_KIND_LABEL, etc. Use g_volume_get_identifier() to obtain an identifier for a volume.

Interface for implementing operations for mountable volumes.
GTypeInterface g_iface; | The parent interface. |
changed () | Changed signal that is emitted when the volume's state has changed. |
removed () | The removed signal that is emitted when the GVolume have been removed. If the recipient is holding references to the object they should release them so the object can be finalized. |
get_name () | Gets a string containing the name of the GVolume. |
get_icon () | Gets a GIcon for the GVolume. |
get_uuid () | Gets the UUID for the GVolume. The reference is typically based on the file system UUID for the mount in question and should be considered an opaque string. Returns NULL if there is no UUID available. |
get_drive () | Gets a GDrive the volume is located on. Returns NULL if the GVolume is not associated with a GDrive. |
get_mount () | Gets a GMount representing the mounted volume. Returns NULL if the GVolume is not mounted. |
can_mount () | Returns TRUE if the GVolume can be mounted. |
can_eject () | Checks if a GVolume can be ejected. |
mount_fn () | Mounts a given GVolume. |
mount_finish () | Finishes a mount operation. |
eject () | Ejects a given GVolume. |
eject_finish () | Finishes an eject operation. |
get_identifier () | Returns the identifier of the given kind, or NULL if the GVolume doesn't have one. |
enumerate_identifiers () | Returns an array strings listing the kinds of identifiers which the GVolume has. |
should_automount () | Returns TRUE if the GVolume should be automatically mounted. |
char* g_volume_get_name (GVolume *volume);
Gets the name of volume.
volume : | a GVolume. |
Returns : | the name for the given volume. The returned string should be freed when no longer needed. |
char* g_volume_get_uuid (GVolume *volume);
Gets the UUID for the volume. The reference is typically based on the file system UUID for the volume in question and should be considered an opaque string. Returns NULL if there is no UUID available.
gboolean g_volume_can_mount (GVolume *volume);
Checks if a volume can be mounted.
volume : | a GVolume. |
Returns : | TRUE if the volume can be mounted. FALSE otherwise. |
gboolean g_volume_should_automount (GVolume *volume);
Returns whether the volume should be automatically mounted.
volume : | a GVolume |
Returns : | TRUE if the volume should be automatically mounted. |
void g_volume_mount (GVolume *volume, GMountMountFlags flags, GMountOperation *mount_operation, GCancellable *cancellable, GAsyncReadyCallback callback, gpointer user_data);
Mounts a volume.
volume : | a GVolume. |
flags : | flags affecting the operation |
mount_operation : | a GMountOperation or NULL to avoid user interaction. |
cancellable : | optional GCancellable object, NULL to ignore. |
callback : | a GAsyncReadyCallback, or NULL. |
user_data : | a gpointer. |
gboolean g_volume_mount_finish (GVolume *volume, GAsyncResult *result, GError **error);
Finishes mounting a volume.
volume : | pointer to a GVolume. |
result : | a GAsyncResult. |
error : | a GError. |
Returns : | TRUE, FALSE if operation failed. |
gboolean g_volume_can_eject (GVolume *volume);
Checks if a volume can be ejected.

Returns : | TRUE if the volume can be ejected. FALSE otherwise. |
void g_volume_eject (GVolume *volume, GMountUnmountFlags flags, GCancellable *cancellable, GAsyncReadyCallback callback, gpointer user_data);
Ejects a volume.

gboolean g_volume_eject_finish (GVolume *volume, GAsyncResult *result, GError **error);
