Method

AppStreamMetadataparse_file

Declaration [src]

gboolean
as_metadata_parse_file (
  AsMetadata* metad,
  GFile* file,
  AsFormatKind format,
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

Parses an AppStream upstream metadata file.

If file does not exist, G_IO_ERROR_NOT_FOUND will be returned. Other GIOErrors and AsMetadataErrors may be returned as appropriate.

Parameters

file

Type: GFile

GFile for the upstream metadata.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.

format

Type: AsFormatKind

The format the data is in, or AS_FORMAT_KIND_UNKNOWN if not known.

error

Type: GError **

The return location for a recoverable error.

The argument can be NULL.

If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to a NULL GError*.

The argument will be left initialized to NULL by the method if there are no errors.

In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

Return value

Type: gboolean

TRUE if the file was parsed without error.
