gFileSetAttributeString {RGtk2} | R Documentation

## gFileSetAttributeString

### Description

Sets `attribute` of type `G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_STRING` to `value`. If `attribute` is of a different type, this operation will fail.

### Usage

    gFileSetAttributeString(object, attribute, value, flags = "G_FILE_QUERY_INFO_NONE",
        cancellable = NULL, .errwarn = TRUE)

### Arguments

``object`` | input `GFile`.
``attribute`` | a string containing the attribute's name.
``value`` | a string containing the attribute's value.
``flags`` | `GFileQueryInfoFlags`.
``cancellable`` | optional `GCancellable` object, `NULL` to ignore.
`.errwarn` | Whether to issue a warning on error or fail silently

### Details

If `cancellable` is not `NULL`, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error `G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED` will be returned.

### Value

A list containing the following elements:

`retval` | [logical] `TRUE` if the `attribute` was successfully set, `FALSE` otherwise.
``error`` | a `GError`, or `NULL`
