gFileHasPrefix {RGtk2} | R Documentation

## gFileHasPrefix

### Description

Checks whether `file` has the prefix specified by `prefix`. In other word, if the names of inital elements of `file`s pathname match `prefix`. Only full pathname elements are matched, so a path like /foo is not considered a prefix of /foobar, only of /foo/bar.

### Usage

    gFileHasPrefix(object, descendant)

### Arguments

``object`` | input `GFile`.
``descendant`` | input `GFile`.

### Details

This call does no i/o, as it works purely on names. As such it can sometimes return `FALSE` even if `file` is inside a `prefix` (from a filesystem point of view), because the prefix of `file` is an alias of `prefix`.

### Value

[logical] `TRUE` if the `files`'s parent, grandparent, etc is `prefix`. `FALSE` otherwise.
