There are two benefits to this:
1) We can centralize any operating system specific knowledge of
close-vs-EINTR handling. For example, while on Linux we should never
retry, if someone cared enough later about HP-UX, they could come by
and change this one spot.
2) For places that do care about the return value and want to provide
the caller with a GError, this function makes it convenient to do so.
Note that gspawn.c had an incorrect EINTR loop-retry around close().

For OSTree, I use Gio and also really care about performance. It's
disturbing to see open('.hidden') all over my straces and such. At
the moment I have an explicit set of things to query, as opposed to
"standard::*", since even before this that also implies an lstat() of
the parent directory.
This matches up with what we do for all the other attributes.

... and g_content_type_get_generic_icon_name(). The new functions are
implemented for Win32 since commit dace477c, so we no longer need to
guard them with G_OS_UNIX.
When building the file attribute table info for local files, use
thumbnail paths in $XDG_CACHE_DIR/thumbnails/large in addition to
$XDG_CACHE_DIR/thumbnails/normal.
Failing to do this would cause an application that creates large
thumbnails by default to never find any value for
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_THUMBNAIL_PATH, with no
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_THUMBNAILING_FAILED set, which might cause the
application to either think thumbnailing is still in progress, or
blindly requeue thumbnail operations in a loop.
Large thumbnails are generally preferred, so we now default to the path
of a large thumbnail (in case both are present).

The newly-introduced functions, g_content_type_get_symbolic_icon() and
g_content_type_get_generic_icon_name() don't seem to be for Windows, at
least for now. So filter them out from gio.symbols on Windows.
Also, glocalfileinfo.c calls g_content_type_get_symbolic_icon() in
get_icon(), so only build that code when on Unix, for the time being.

Because it now handles EINTR. And we should do so. While most people
use Linux, which tries very hard to avoid propagating EINTR back up
into userspace, it can still happen.

Non-technical users won't know that "stating" refers to stat(2), so we
just use "error when getting information" now.

_GNU_SOURCE must be defined before including any other (system)
header, so defining it in glib-unix.h (and hoping no one has included
anything else before that) is wrong. And the "#define _USE_GNU"
workaround for this problem in gnetworkingprivate.h is even wronger
(and still prone to failure anyway due to single-include guards).
Fix this by defining _GNU_SOURCE in config.h when building against
glibc. In theory this is bad because new releases of glibc may include
symbols that conflict with glib symbols, which could then cause
compile failures. However, most people only see new releases of glibc
when they upgrade their distro, at which point they also generally get
new releases of gcc, which have new warnings/errors to clean up
anyway.

Following the behaviour of ls here, we should return at least the
file name, if we can't get any other information about a file. To
do this, handle EACCESS on stat() calls.
Patch by Tomas Bzatek, see bug 623692
Define GStatBuf as the type used by g_stat() and g_lstat(). Replaces
the non-public struct tag _g_stat_struct. Mostly relevant for Windows
where there are several variants of stat-style structs. On POSIX, is
just another name for struct stat.
Actually, also on many POSIX systems there are in fact several
variants of struct stat and corresponding stat() and lstat()
functions, but as g_stat and g_lstat are normally on POSIX just macros
that expand to stat and lstat, this should not cause a problem. It's
only when it's the actual g_stat() or g_lstat() implementation inside
GLib that gets called that one needs to be sure the passed struct is
the same as what GLib expects.)
Metadata are really part of the pathname, not the target file
(as they are stored by pathname, and for many metadata like icon position
etc make not sense using the target data). So, even if nofollow
is not specified we should not follow links for metadata.
Ideally this should be implemented in the metadata extension in gvfs,
but the extension API does not allow this, so we do it in gio.
See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=593809
When doing a g_file_copy() with nofollow-symlinks (to copy a link for
example), the later copying of the file attributes copies the source
links 777 attributes to the target's attributes. As chmod affects the
symlink target, this would cause such copies to always set the target to
777 mode.
This patch makes setting the mode with nofollow-symlinks fail with
NOT_SUPPORTED.
The aforementioned g_file_copy() will still succeed, because it ignores
errors of the attribute copy.
This patch and the previous ones fixes the performance issues noted in
Bug 587089 – lookup_attribute() takes too much CPU
It increases performance for querying attributes by ~15% in my tests.
The icon names are folder-documents, folder-download, folder-music,
folder-pictures, folder-publicshare, folder-templates, folder-videos.
See bug 541276.
Bug 579862 – requesting xattr::foo ends up calling getxattr(...,
user.:foo,...)
The patch makes sure we escape xattr::, not xattr:, before adding user.
and calling getxattr.
Apps don't generally create backup directories, etc. So, if the file
ends with ~ but is not a regular file shouldn't be considered a backup
file. (#573673)

Bug 528320 - Incorrect icons displayed for files with custom mimetype icons
* glocalfileinfo.c:
(_g_local_file_info_get):
Don't return the fallback icon (text-x-generic) for all files.
This is causing problems with theme icon lookup and custom mime
icons, as the generic fallback overrides custom mime icons in
inherited themes.
This is a slight change as applications might not get an icon wher
they previously did. But there is no guarantee to get on neither before
or after this change, so it should not break applications. Changes
to nautilus and gtk+ will be done to manually use the generic fallback
icon if no icon is found, but this is only required for rare cases.
