  const gchar* data,
  gssize data_len,
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

Parses XDG Desktop Entry metadata and adds it to the list of parsed entities.

Please note that not every desktop-entry file will result in a valid component being generated, even if parsing succeeds without error (The desktiop-entry file may be valid but not generate a component on purpose).

Parameters

cid

Type: const gchar*

The component-id the new AsComponent should have.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.
The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
data

Type: const gchar*

Metadata describing one or more software components.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.
The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
data_len

Type: gssize

The data length, or -1 if unknown and null-terminated.

error

Type: GError **

The return location for a recoverable error.

The argument can be NULL.
If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to a NULL GError*.
The argument will be left initialized to NULL by the method if there are no errors.
In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

Return value

Type: gboolean

TRUE if the file was parsed without error.
