Gnome2:...FileInfo(3)

💖 Gnome2::VFS::FileInfo 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for Gnome2::VFS::FileInfo — it's part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, section 3 (that's the library-functions section, iykyk ✨). pull up a chair, grab a boba, and let's get into it. 🧋

---

✨ NAME ✨

Gnome2::VFS::FileInfo — that's the whole name, that's the whole vibe. 💅

---

🎀 METHODS 🎀

🌸 fileinfo = Gnome2::VFS::FileInfo->new ($hash_ref)

• $hash_ref (scalar)

not me manifesting a whole new object out of a hash ref 😭✨. this one creates a new GnomeVFSFileInfo object from hash_ref — like, for use with Gnome2::VFS::FileInfo::matches, for example. iconic.

and here's the tea 🫖: normally, you can always directly use a hash reference if you're asked for a GnomeVFSFileInfo. so like, no stress, bestie — the raw hash ref is valid currency in these streets. 💸

---

🦋 boolean = $a->matches ($b)

• $b (Gnome2::VFS::FileInfo)

does $a match $b? 👀 returns a boolean, so it's giving true-or-false, no in-between, no "it's complicated". the vibe check, but for file info objects. ⭐

---

🌈 string = $info->get_mime_type

grab the mime type as a string 🍓. that's it, that's the method. lowkey the simplest glow-up on the page and honestly? obsessed. 💜
