💖 NAME 💖

Gnome2::VFS::Volume — bestie, it's literally just a lil wrapper for GnomeVFSVolume. That's the whole vibe. 🎀

Oh and btw, this page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation manual, and the whole thing is filed under Gnome2:...::Volume(3) iykyk. 🦋

🌸 HIERARCHY 🌸

Okay so here's the family tree, and yes it's giving nepo baby:

Glib::Object
+----Gnome2::VFS::Volume

So it inherits from Glib::Object, periodt. 💅

✨ METHODS ✨

🫶 string = $volume->get_activation_uri

Gives you back the activation URI as a string. Slay.

🫶 integer = $a->compare ($b)

Returns an integer, comparing $a against $b. The args:

  • $b — a Gnome2::VFS::Volume, no cap 🎀

🫶 Gnome2::VFS->connect_to_server ($uri, $display_name, $icon)

Heads up bestie, this one's called on the class Gnome2::VFS itself, not on your $volume object. Lowkey important. The args:

  • $uri — a string
  • $display_name — a string
  • $icon — a string

🫶 string = $volume->get_device_path

Hands you the device path as a string. 💫

🫶 devicetype = $volume->get_device_type

Returns a devicetype — and the possible values are all down in ENUMS AND FLAGS, so keep scrolling. 👑

🫶 string = $volume->get_display_name

The display name, as a string. It's giving "what the user actually sees". 🌈

🫶 drive = $volume->get_drive

Returns a drive. 🚗✨

🫶 $volume->eject ($func, $data=undef)

Ejects the volume, fr fr. The args:

🫶 string = $volume->get_filesystem_type

Filesystem type, as a string. 🍓

🫶 string = $volume->get_hal_udi

Returns the HAL UDI as a string. Since: vfs 2.8 — so if you're on something older, this one simply isn't invited to the party. 💀

🫶 boolean = $volume->handles_trash

Returns a boolean — does this volume handle trash or not. 🗑️

🫶 string = $volume->get_icon

The icon, as a string. Aesthetic. 🎀

🫶 unsigned = $volume->get_id

🫶 boolean = $volume->is_mounted

boolean — is it mounted? Yes or no, no in-between. 💅

🫶 boolean = $volume->is_read_only

boolean — read only or not. Don't try anything cute if it's true, bestie. 🙈

🫶 boolean = $volume->is_user_visible

boolean — is it user visible. 👀

🫶 $volume->unmount ($func, $data=undef)

Unmounts the volume. The args:
