gtkShowUri {RGtk2} | R Documentation

## gtkShowUri

### Description

This is a convenience function for launching the default application to show the uri. The uri must be of a form understood by GIO. Typical examples are

- ‘file:///home/gnome/pict.jpg’

- ‘http://www.gnome.org’

- ‘mailto:me’

Ideally the timestamp is taken from the event triggering the `gtkShowUri` call. If timestamp is not known you can take `GDK_CURRENT_TIME`.

### Usage

    gtkShowUri(screen = NULL, uri, timestamp, .errwarn = TRUE)

### Arguments

``screen`` | screen to show the uri on or `NULL` for the default screen. [ allow-none ]
``uri`` | the uri to show
``timestamp`` | a timestamp to prevent focus stealing.
`.errwarn` | Whether to issue a warning on error or fail silently

### Details

This function can be used as a replacement for `gnomeVfsUrlShow()` and `gnomeUrlShow()`. Since 2.14

### Value

A list containing the following elements:

`retval` | [logical] `TRUE` on success, `FALSE` on error.
``error`` | a `GError` that is returned in case of errors
