The functions and objects described here make working with GTK+ and GIO more convenient.
GtkMountOperation is needed when mounting volumes:
It is an implementation of GMountOperation that can be used with
GIO functions for mounting volumes such as
g_file_mount_enclosing_volume(), g_file_mount_mountable(),
g_volume_mount(), g_mount_unmount_with_operation() and others.
When necessary, GtkMountOperation shows dialogs to ask for passwords, questions or show processes blocking unmount.
gtk_show_uri() is a convenient way to launch applications for URIs.
Another object that is worth mentioning in this context is GdkAppLaunchContext, which provides visual feedback when lauching applications.
GMountOperation *
gtk_mount_operation_new (GtkWindow *parent);
Creates a new GtkMountOperation
Since 2.14
gboolean
gtk_mount_operation_is_showing (GtkMountOperation *op);
Returns whether the GtkMountOperation is currently displaying a window.
Since 2.14
void gtk_mount_operation_set_parent (GtkMountOperation *op,GtkWindow *parent);
Sets the transient parent for windows shown by the GtkMountOperation.
Since 2.14
GtkWindow *
gtk_mount_operation_get_parent (GtkMountOperation *op);
Gets the transient parent used by the GtkMountOperation
Since 2.14
void gtk_mount_operation_set_screen (GtkMountOperation *op,GdkScreen *screen);
Sets the screen to show windows of the GtkMountOperation on.
Since 2.14
GdkScreen *
gtk_mount_operation_get_screen (GtkMountOperation *op);
Gets the screen on which windows of the GtkMountOperation will be shown.
Since 2.14
gboolean gtk_show_uri (GdkScreen *screen,const gchar *uri,guint32 timestamp,GError **error);
This is a convenience function for launching the default application to show the uri. The uri must be of a form understood by GIO (i.e. you need to install gvfs to get support for uri schemes such as http:// or ftp://, as only local files are handled by GIO itself). Typical examples are

Ideally the timestamp is taken from the event triggering
the gtk_show_uri() call. If timestamp is not known you can take
GDK_CURRENT_TIME.
Since 2.14
struct GtkMountOperation;
This should not be accessed directly. Use the accessor functions below.
