File.getChildForDisplayName
gio.file.File getChildForDisplayName(string displayName)Gets the child of file for a given display_name (i.e. a UTF-8 version of the name). If this function fails, it returns null and error will be set. This is very useful when constructing a #GFile for a new file and the user entered the filename in the user interface, for instance when you select a directory and type a filename in the file selector.
This call does no blocking I/O.
Parameters
displayName | string to a possible child |
Returns
a #GFile to the specified child, or
Throws
[ErrorWrap]
