Implemented Interfaces

UDisksLinuxDriveObject implements GDBusObject and UDisksObject.

Description

Object corresponding to a drive on Linux.

Functions

UDisksObjectHasInterfaceFunc ()

gboolean
(*UDisksObjectHasInterfaceFunc) (UDisksObject *object);

Function prototype that is used to determine whether the object is applicable for carrying a particular D-Bus interface (determined by the callback function itself).

Used typically over UDisksLinuxBlockObject and UDisksLinuxDriveObject objects for checking specific feature that leads to exporting extra D-Bus interface on the object.

Parameters

object

A UDisksObject to consider.

Returns

TRUE if the object is a valid candidate for the particular D-Bus interface, FALSE otherwise.

UDisksObjectConnectInterfaceFunc ()

void
(*UDisksObjectConnectInterfaceFunc) (UDisksObject *object);

Function prototype that is used once a new D-Bus interface is created (meaning the UDisksObjectHasInterfaceFunc call was successful) to perform optional additional tasks before the interface is exported on the object .

Used typically over UDisksLinuxBlockObject and UDisksLinuxDriveObject objects.

Parameters

object

A UDisksObject to perform connection operation onto.

UDisksObjectUpdateInterfaceFunc ()

gboolean
(*UDisksObjectUpdateInterfaceFunc) (UDisksObject *object,
                                    const gchar *uevent_action,
                                    GDBusInterface *interface);

Function prototype that is used on existing interface on the object to process incoming uevents.

Used typically over UDisksLinuxBlockObject and UDisksLinuxDriveObject objects.

Parameters

object	A UDisksObject.
uevent_action	An uevent action string.
interface	Existing GDBusInterface exported on the `object` .

Returns

TRUE if configuration (properties) on the interface have changed, FALSE otherwise.

udisks_linux_drive_object_new ()

UDisksLinuxDriveObject *
udisks_linux_drive_object_new (UDisksDaemon *daemon,
                               UDisksLinuxDevice *device);

Create a new drive object.

Parameters

daemon	A UDisksDaemon.
device	The UDisksLinuxDevice for the sysfs block device.

Returns

A UDisksLinuxDriveObject object or NULL if device does not represent a drive. Free with g_object_unref().

udisks_linux_drive_object_uevent ()

void
udisks_linux_drive_object_uevent (UDisksLinuxDriveObject *object,
                                  const gchar *action,
                                  UDisksLinuxDevice *device);

Updates all information on interfaces on drive .

Parameters

object	A UDisksLinuxDriveObject.
action	Uevent action or `NULL`
device	A UDisksLinuxDevice device object or `NULL` if the device hasn't changed.

udisks_linux_drive_object_get_daemon ()

UDisksDaemon *
udisks_linux_drive_object_get_daemon (UDisksLinuxDriveObject *object);

Gets the daemon used by object .

Parameters

object

A UDisksLinuxDriveObject.

Returns

A UDisksDaemon. Do not free, the object is owned by object .

udisks_linux_drive_object_get_block ()

UDisksLinuxBlockObject *
udisks_linux_drive_object_get_block (UDisksLinuxDriveObject *object,
                                     gboolean get_hw);

Gets a UDisksLinuxBlockObject representing a block device associated with object .

Parameters

object	A UDisksLinuxDriveObject.
get_hw	If the drive is multipath, set to `TRUE` to get a path device instead of the multipath device.

Returns

A UDisksLinuxBlockObject or NULL. The returned object must be freed with g_object_unref().

udisks_linux_drive_object_get_device ()

UDisksLinuxDevice *
udisks_linux_drive_object_get_device (UDisksLinuxDriveObject *object,
                                      gboolean get_hw);

Gets one of the UDisksLinuxDevice object associated with object .

If get_hw is TRUE and object represents a multipath device then one of the paths is returned rather than the multipath device. This is useful if you e.g. need to configure the physical hardware.

Parameters

object	A UDisksLinuxDriveObject.
get_hw	If the drive is multipath, set to `TRUE` to get a path device instead of the multipath device.

Returns

A UDisksLinuxDevice or NULL. The returned object must be freed with g_object_unref().

udisks_linux_drive_object_get_devices ()

GList *
udisks_linux_drive_object_get_devices (UDisksLinuxDriveObject *object);

Gets the current UDisksLinuxDevice objects associated with object .

Parameters

object

A UDisksLinuxDriveObject.

Returns

A list of UDisksLinuxDevice objects. Free each element with g_object_unref(), then free the list with g_list_free().

udisks_linux_drive_object_get_siblings ()

GList *
udisks_linux_drive_object_get_siblings
                               (UDisksLinuxDriveObject *object);

Gets the siblings for object , if any.

Parameters

object

A UDisksLinuxDriveObject.

Returns

A list of UDisksLinuxDriveObject instances. The returned list should be freed with g_list_free() after each element has been freed with g_object_unref().

udisks_linux_drive_object_housekeeping ()

gboolean
udisks_linux_drive_object_housekeeping
                               (UDisksLinuxDriveObject *object,
                                guint secs_since_last,
                                GCancellable *cancellable,
                                GError **error);

Called periodically (every ten minutes or so) to perform housekeeping tasks such as refreshing ATA SMART data.

The function runs in a dedicated thread and is allowed to perform blocking I/O.

Long-running tasks should periodically check cancellable to see if they have been cancelled.

Parameters

object	A UDisksLinuxDriveObject.
secs_since_last	Number of seconds sincex the last housekeeping or 0 if the first housekeeping ever.
cancellable	A `GCancellable` or `NULL`.
error	Return location for error or `NULL`.

Returns

TRUE if the operation succeeded, FALSE if error is set.

udisks_linux_drive_object_is_not_in_use ()

gboolean
udisks_linux_drive_object_is_not_in_use
                               (UDisksLinuxDriveObject *object,
                                GCancellable *cancellable,
                                GError **error);

Checks if the drive represented by object is in use and sets error if so.

Parameters

object	A UDisksLinuxDriveObject.
cancellable	A GCancellable or `NULL`.	[allow-none]
error	A GError or `NULL`.

Returns

TRUE if object is not is use, FALSE if error is set.
