g_file_copy_async() and g_file_move_async() are written in a way that is
not bindable with gobject-introspection. The progress callback data can
be freed once the async callback has been called, which is convenient
for C, but in language bindings the progress callback closure is
currently just leaked.
There is no scope annotation that fits how the progress callback should
be treated:
- (scope call) is correct for the sync versions of the functions, but
incorrect for the async functions; the progress callback is called
after the async functions return.
- (scope notified) is incorrect because there is no GDestroyNotify
parameter, meaning the callback will always leak.
- (scope async) is incorrect because the callback is called more than
once.
- (scope forever) is incorrect because the callback closure could be
freed after the async callback runs.
This adds g_file_copy_async_with_closures() and
g_file_move_async_with_closures() for the benefit of language bindings.
See: GNOME/gjs#590
While it's possible to create a directory synchronously via
g_dir_make_tmp(), there's no such API that performs it asynchronously.
So implement it using GFile, using a thread to perform such task.
The interface was ready for this API but it was not provided.
So implement this, using a thread that calls the sync API for now.
Add tests.

Add SPDX license (but not copyright) headers to all files which follow a
certain pattern in their existing non-machine-readable header comment.

Expose a function that prepares an attribute query string to be passed
to g_file_query_info() to get a list of attributes normally copied with
the file. This function is used by the implementation of
g_file_copy_attributes, and it's useful if one needs to split
g_file_copy_attributes into two stages, for example, when nautilus does
a recursive move of a directory. When files are moved from the source
directory, its modification time changes. To preserve the mtime on the
destination directory, it has to be queried before moving files and set
after doing it, hence these two stages.

`GFile` always checks whether these vfuncs are `NULL` before calling
them, so document that it’s safe for implementations of `GFile` to not
implement them.

This is a variant of g_file_get_path() which returns a const string to
the caller, rather than transferring ownership.
I've been carrying `gs_file_get_path_cached()` in libgsystem and it
has seen a lot of use in the ostree and flatpak codebases. There are
probably others too.
I think language bindings like Python/Gjs could also use this to avoid
an extra malloc (i.e. we could transparently replace
`g_file_get_path()` with `g_file_peek_path()`.
(Originally by Colin Walters. Tweaked by Philip Withnall to update to
2.56, change the function name and drop the locking.)

This adds g_file_load_bytes() to make it more convenient to
load the contents of a GFile as GBytes.
It includes a special casing for gresources to increase the
chances that the GBytes directly references the embedded data
instead of copying to the heap.

These did show up in the html. Since symbol names are checked for a
trailing plural s when generating the docs, the links stay functional
after removing these comments.

Add the GLIB_AVAILABLE_IN_ALL annotation to all old functions (that
haven't already been annotated with the GLIB_AVAILABLE_IN_* macros or a
deprecation macro).
If we discover in the future that we cannot use only one macro on
Windows, it will be an easy sed patch to fix that.

Add a pair of new APIs: one to GFile to create a new file from a
commandline arg relative to a given cwd and one to
GApplicationCommandLine to create a GFile from an arg, relative to the
cwd of the invoking commandline.

This looks like it was stubbed out but not implemented; the vtable
entry dates to commit 3781343738 which
is just alex's initial merge of gio into glib.
I was working on some code that wants an asynchronous rm -rf
equivalent, and so yeah, this is desirable.

For details, see bug 587482. The new api:
- Provide new _with_operation() variants of all unmount and eject methods
- Add GMountOperation::show-processes signal
- this can be used to show processes blocking an unmount operation
- Deprecate all unmount and eject methods
- Add g_drive_can_start_degraded() method
- this is to avoid auto-starting degraded drives
- Make g_drive_stop() resp. g_file_stop_mountable() take a GMountOperation
- these ops were recently added and not yet public API so it's fine
to change how they work
- Provide a way to poll mountable files, e.g. g_file_poll_mountable()
- Add some missing file attributes for mountable files
- G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_MOUNTABLE_UNIX_DEVICE_FILE
- needed for the GDU Nautilus extensions to format a volume
- G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_MOUNTABLE_CAN_START_DEGRADED:
- mimics g_drive_can_start_degraded()
- G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_MOUNTABLE_CAN_POLL:
- mimics g_drive_can_poll_for_media()
- G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_MOUNTABLE_IS_MEDIA_CHECK_AUTOMATIC
- mimics g_drive_is_media_check_automatic()
GFile allows for the possibility that external implementations may not
support thread-default contexts yet, via
g_file_supports_thread_contexts(). GVolumeMonitor is not yet
thread-default-context aware.
Add a test program to verify that basic gio async ops work correctly
in non-default contexts.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=579984
Add API for starting/stopping drives. This new API will enable
GVolumeMonitor and GVfs implementations to add support for the
following features
1. Powering down external hard disk enclosures / drives
2. Starting/stopping multi-disk devices (such as RAID/btrfs/ZFS)
3. Connecting/disconnecting iSCSI devices
4. Reacting to the user pressing e.g. the "remove drive" button on
a IBM/Lenovo Ultrabay: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Ultrabay
See the bug for the corresponding GVfs and Nautilus changes.
