## Prerequisites

GMount requires GObject.

## Signals

      "changed"                                        : Run Last
      "pre-unmount"                                    : Run Last
      "unmounted"                                      : Run Last

## Description

The GMount interface represents user-visible mounts. Note, when porting from GnomeVFS, GMount is the moral equivalent of GnomeVFSVolume.

GMount is a "mounted" filesystem that you can access. Mounted is in quotes because it's not the same as a unix mount, it might be a gvfs mount, but you can still access the files on it if you use GIO. Might or might not be related to a volume object.

Unmounting a GMount instance is an asynchronous operation. For more information about asynchronous operations, see GAsyncReady and GSimpleAsyncReady. To unmount a GMount instance, first call `g_mount_unmount_with_operation()` with (at least) the GMount instance and a GAsyncReadyCallback. The callback will be fired when the operation has resolved (either with success or failure), and a GAsyncReady structure will be passed to the callback. That callback should then call `g_mount_unmount_with_operation_finish()` with the GMount and the GAsyncReady data to see if the operation was completed successfully. If an `error` is present when `g_mount_unmount_with_operation_finish()` is called, then it will be filled with any error information.

Interface for implementing operations for mounts.

GTypeInterface `g_iface`; | The parent interface.
`changed` () | Changed signal that is emitted when the mount's state has changed.
`unmounted` () | The unmounted signal that is emitted when the GMount have been unmounted. If the recipient is holding references to the object they should release them so the object can be finalized.
`get_root` () | Gets a GFile to the root directory of the GMount.
`get_name` () | Gets a string containing the name of the GMount.
`get_icon` () | Gets a GIcon for the GMount.
`get_uuid` () | Gets the UUID for the GMount. The reference is typically based on the file system UUID for the mount in question and should be considered an opaque string. Returns `NULL` if there is no UUID available.
`get_volume` () | Gets a GVolume the mount is located on. Returns `NULL` if the GMount is not associated with a GVolume.
`get_drive` () | Gets a GDrive the volume of the mount is located on. Returns `NULL` if the GMount is not associated with a GDrive or a GVolume. This is convenience method for getting the GVolume and using that to get the GDrive.
`can_unmount` () | Checks if a GMount can be unmounted.
`can_eject` () | Checks if a GMount can be ejected.
`unmount` () | Starts unmounting a GMount.
`unmount_finish` () | Finishes an unmounting operation.
`eject` () | Starts ejecting a GMount.
`eject_finish` () | Finishes an eject operation.
`remount` () | Starts remounting a GMount.
`remount_finish` () | Finishes a remounting operation.
`guess_content_type` () | Starts guessing the type of the content of a GMount. See `g_mount_guess_content_type()` for more information on content type guessing. This operation was added in 2.18.
`guess_content_type_finish` () | Finishes a contenet type guessing operation. Added in 2.18.
`guess_content_type_sync` () | Synchronous variant of `guess_content_type`. Added in 2.18
`pre_unmount` () | The pre_unmout signal that is emitted when the GMount will soon be emitted. If the recipient is somehow holding the mount open by keeping an open file on it it should close the file.
`unmount_with_operation` () | Starts unmounting a GMount using a GMountOperation. Since 2.22.
`unmount_with_operation_finish` () | Finishes an unmounting operation using a GMountOperation. Since 2.22.
`eject_with_operation` () | Starts ejecting a GMount using a GMountOperation. Since 2.22.
`eject_with_operation_finish` () | Finishes an eject operation using a GMountOperation. Since 2.22.
`get_default_location` () | Gets a GFile indication a start location that can be use as the entry point for this mount. Since 2.24.
`get_sort_key` () | Gets a key used for sorting GMount instance or `NULL` if no such key exists. Since 2.32.

### g_mount_guess_content_type_sync ()

    gchar **            g_mount_guess_content_type_sync     (GMount *mount,
                                                             gboolean force_rescan,
                                                             GCancellable *cancellable,
                                                             GError **error);

Tries to guess the type of content stored on `mount`. Returns one or more textual identifiers of well-known content types (typically prefixed with "x-content/"), e.g. x-content/image-dcf for camera memory cards. See the shared-mime-info specification for more on x-content types.

This is an synchronous operation and as such may block doing IO; see `g_mount_guess_content_type()` for the asynchronous version.

`mount` : | a GMount
`force_rescan` : | Whether to force a rescan of the content. Otherwise a cached result will be used if available
`cancellable` : | optional GCancellable object, `NULL` to ignore. [allow-none]
`error` : | a GError location to store the error occurring, or `NULL` to ignore
Returns : | a `NULL`-terminated array of content types or `NULL` on error. Caller should free this array with `g_strfreev()` when done with it. [transfer full][element-type utf8]

### g_mount_is_shadowed ()

    gboolean            g_mount_is_shadowed                 (GMount *mount);

Determines if `mount` is shadowed. Applications or libraries should avoid displaying `mount` in the user interface if it is shadowed.

A mount is said to be shadowed if there exists one or more user visible objects (currently GMount objects) with a root that is inside the root of `mount`.

One application of shadow mounts is when exposing a single file system that is used to address several logical volumes. In this situation, a GVolumeMonitor implementation would create two GVolume objects (for example, one for the camera functionality of the device and one for a SD card reader on the device) with activation URIs `gphoto2://[usb:001,002]/store1/` and `gphoto2://[usb:001,002]/store2/`. When the underlying mount (with root `gphoto2://[usb:001,002]/`) is mounted, said GVolumeMonitor implementation would create two GMount objects (each with their root matching the corresponding volume activation root) that would shadow the original mount.

The proxy monitor in GVfs 2.26 and later, automatically creates and manage shadow mounts (and shadows the underlying mount) if the activation root on a GVolume is set.

`mount` : | A GMount.
Returns : | `TRUE` if `mount` is shadowed.

### g_mount_shadow ()

    void                g_mount_shadow                      (GMount *mount);

Increments the shadow count on `mount`. Usually used by GVolumeMonitor implementations when creating a shadow mount for `mount`, see `g_mount_is_shadowed()` for more information. The caller will need to emit the "changed" signal on `mount` manually.

`mount` : | A GMount.

Since 2.20

### g_mount_unshadow ()

    void                g_mount_unshadow                    (GMount *mount);

Decrements the shadow count on `mount`. Usually used by GVolumeMonitor implementations when destroying a shadow mount for `mount`, see `g_mount_is_shadowed()` for more information. The caller will need to emit the "changed" signal on `mount` manually.

`mount` : | A GMount.

Since 2.20

### g_mount_get_sort_key ()

    const gchar *       g_mount_get_sort_key                (GMount *mount);

Gets the sort key for `mount`, if any.

`mount` : | A GMount.
Returns : | Sorting key for `mount` or `NULL` if no such key is available.

Since 2.32

## Signal Details

### The `"changed"` signal

    void                user_function                      (GMount  *mount,
                                                            gpointer user_data)      : Run Last

Emitted when the mount has been changed.

`mount` : | the object on which the signal is emitted
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"pre-unmount"` signal

    void                user_function                      (GMount  *mount,
                                                            gpointer user_data)      : Run Last

This signal is emitted when the GMount is about to be unmounted.

`mount` : | the object on which the signal is emitted
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

Since 2.22

### The `"unmounted"` signal

    void                user_function                      (GMount  *mount,
                                                            gpointer user_data)      : Run Last

This signal is emitted when the GMount have been unmounted. If the recipient is holding references to the object they should release them so the object can be finalized.

`mount` : | the object on which the signal is emitted
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.
