GLib KeyFileload_from_file

gboolean
g_key_file_load_from_file(
GKeyFile*key_file,
constgchar*file,
GKeyFileFlagsflags,
GError**error
)

Loads a key file into an empty GKeyFile structure.

If the OS returns an error when opening or reading the file, a GFileError is returned. If there is a problem parsing the file, a GKeyFileError is returned.

This function will never return a G_KEY_FILE_ERROR_NOT_FOUND error. If the file is not found, G_FILE_ERROR_NOENT is returned.

Available since: 2.6

file

Type: const gchar*

The path of a filename to load, in the GLib filename encoding.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.

The value is a platform-native string, using the preferred OS encoding on Unix and UTF-8 on Windows.

flags

Type: GKeyFileFlags

Flags from GKeyFileFlags.

error

Type:

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.
