get_path

Gets the local pathname for File, if one exists.

If non-null, this is guaranteed to be an absolute, canonical path. It might contain symlinks.

This call does no blocking I/O.

Example: Get the path:

public static int main (string[] args) {
	// Output: ``/home/flo/examples/my/dir/my-test.txt``
	File file = File.new_for_path ("../my/dir/my-test.txt");
	string parse_name = file.get_path ();
	print ("%s\n", parse_name);
	return 0;
}

valac --pkg gio-2.0 GLib.File.get_path.vala

Parameters:

this	input File

Returns:

string containing the File's path, or null if no such path exists. The returned string should be freed with g_free when no longer needed.
