Functions

vfs_module_init ()

GnomeVFSMethod *
vfs_module_init (const char *method_name,
                 const char *args);

Standard extern call implemented by each filesystem module. This is called to initialize the module and setup any basic structures / connections the method requires. It also allows the module to identify the URI method it is associated with in this instance.

Parameters

method_name

name of the method that invoked this module (e.g. "http", "ftp", "file").

  

args

not used by most modules, but potential arguments for creating the module (could be a file to point at, for example)

  

Returns

the module symbol table, pointing to the appropriate calls for this module.

vfs_module_transform ()

GnomeVFSTransform *
vfs_module_transform (const char *method_name,
                      const char *args);

Shift an already instanced module to a new method name. This call is not implemented by most modules and is optional.

Parameters

method_name

name of the method that invoked this module (e.g. "http", "ftp", "file").

  

args

not used by most modules, but potential arguments for creating the module (could be a file to point at, for example)

  

Returns

the module symbol table, pointing to the appropriate calls for this module.

vfs_module_shutdown ()

void
vfs_module_shutdown (GnomeVFSMethod *method);

Called to tell a module to end any active operations, free all used memory, and close any connections (as appropriate) or resources.
