typedef struct _GDesktopAppInfo GDesktopAppInfo;
Information about an installed application from a desktop file.
GDesktopAppInfo * g_desktop_app_info_new_from_filename (const char *filename);
Creates a new GDesktopAppInfo.
| 
 | the path of a desktop file, in the GLib filename encoding | 
| Returns : | a new GDesktopAppInfo or NULLon error. | 
GDesktopAppInfo * g_desktop_app_info_new_from_keyfile (GKeyFile *key_file);
Creates a new GDesktopAppInfo.
| 
 | an opened GKeyFile | 
| Returns : | a new GDesktopAppInfo or NULLon error. | 
Since 2.18
GDesktopAppInfo * g_desktop_app_info_new (const char *desktop_id);
Creates a new GDesktopAppInfo.
| 
 | the desktop file id | 
| Returns : | a new GDesktopAppInfo, or NULLif no desktop file with that id | 
gboolean g_desktop_app_info_get_is_hidden (GDesktopAppInfo *info);
A desktop file is hidden if the Hidden key in it is set to True.
| 
 | a GDesktopAppInfo. | 
| Returns : | TRUEif hidden,FALSEotherwise. | 
void g_desktop_app_info_set_desktop_env (const char *desktop_env);
Sets the name of the desktop that the application is running in.
This is used by g_app_info_should_show() to evaluate the
OnlyShowIn and NotShowIn
desktop entry fields.
The Desktop Menu specification recognizes the following:
| GNOME | 
| KDE | 
| ROX | 
| XFCE | 
| Old | 
Should be called only once; subsequent calls are ignored.
| 
 | a string specifying what desktop this is | 
typedef struct _GDesktopAppInfoLookup GDesktopAppInfoLookup;
Interface that is used by backends to associate default handlers with URI schemes.
#define G_DESKTOP_APP_INFO_LOOKUP_EXTENSION_POINT_NAME "gio-desktop-app-info-lookup"
Extension point for default handler to URI association. See Extending GIO.
GAppInfo * g_desktop_app_info_lookup_get_default_for_uri_scheme (GDesktopAppInfoLookup *lookup, const char *uri_scheme);
Gets the default application for launching applications using this URI scheme for a particular GDesktopAppInfoLookup implementation.
The GDesktopAppInfoLookup interface and this function is used
to implement g_app_info_get_default_for_uri_scheme() backends
in a GIO module. There is no reason for applications to use it
directly. Applications should use g_app_info_get_default_for_uri_scheme().
| 
 | a GDesktopAppInfoLookup | 
| 
 | a string containing a URI scheme. | 
| Returns : | GAppInfo for given uri_schemeorNULLon error. |
