Permission.release

bool release(gio.cancellable.Cancellable cancellable = null)

Attempts to release the permission represented by permission.

The precise method by which this happens depends on the permission and the underlying authentication mechanism. In most cases the permission will be dropped immediately without further action.

You should check with [gio.permission.Permission.getCanRelease] before calling this function.

If the permission is released then true is returned. Otherwise, false is returned and error is set appropriately.

This call is blocking, likely for a very long time (in the case that user interaction is required). See [gio.permission.Permission.releaseAsync] for the non-blocking version.

Parameters

cancellablea #GCancellable, or null

Returns

true if the permission was successfully released

Throws

[ErrorWrap]
