Enum Class FileType

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<FileType>

org.gnome.gio.FileType

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<FileType>, Constable, Enumeration

@Generated("io.github.jwharm.JavaGI")
public enum FileType
extends Enum<FileType>
implements Enumeration

Indicates the file's on-disk type.

On Windows systems a file will never have SYMBOLIC_LINK type; use GFileInfo and G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_IS_SYMLINK to determine whether a file is a symlink or not. This is due to the fact that NTFS does not have a single filesystem object type for symbolic links - it has files that symlink to files, and directories that symlink to directories. GFileType enumeration cannot precisely represent this important distinction, which is why all Windows symlinks will continue to be reported as REGULAR or DIRECTORY.

Parameters:

value - the enum value

Returns:

the enum for the provided value

getValue

public int getValue()

Get the numeric value of this enum

Specified by:

getValue in interface Enumeration
