gFileQueryFilesystemInfo {RGtk2} | R Documentation

## gFileQueryFilesystemInfo

### Description

Similar to `gFileQueryInfo`, but obtains information about the filesystem the `file` is on, rather than the file itself. For instance the amount of space available and the type of the filesystem.

### Usage

    gFileQueryFilesystemInfo(object, attributes, cancellable = NULL,
        .errwarn = TRUE)

### Arguments

``object`` | input `GFile`.
``attributes`` | an attribute query string.
``cancellable`` | optional `GCancellable` object, `NULL` to ignore.
`.errwarn` | Whether to issue a warning on error or fail silently

### Details

The `attribute` value is a string that specifies the file attributes that should be gathered. It is not an error if it's not possible to read a particular requested attribute from a file - it just won't be set. `attribute` should be a comma-separated list of attribute or attribute wildcards. The wildcard "*" means all attributes, and a wildcard like "fs:*" means all attributes in the fs namespace. The standard namespace for filesystem attributes is "fs". Common attributes of interest are `G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_FILESYSTEM_SIZE` (the total size of the filesystem in bytes), `G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_FILESYSTEM_FREE` (number of bytes available), and `G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_FILESYSTEM_TYPE` (type of the filesystem).

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.

If the file does not exist, the G_IO_ERROR_NOT_FOUND error will be returned. Other errors are possible too, and depend on what kind of filesystem the file is on.

### Value

A list containing the following elements:

`retval` | [`GFileInfo`] a `GFileInfo` or `NULL` if there was an error.
``error`` | a `GError`.
