File.hasPrefix

Checks whether file has the prefix specified by prefix.

In other words, if the names of initial elements of file's pathname match prefix. Only full pathname elements are matched, so a path like /foo is not considered a prefix of /foobar, only of /foo/bar.

A #GFile is not a prefix of itself. If you want to check for equality, use [gio.file.File.equal].

This call does no I/O, as it works purely on names. As such it can sometimes return false even if file is inside a prefix (from a filesystem point of view), because the prefix of file is an alias of prefix.
