typedef struct _GFilenameCompleter GFilenameCompleter;

Completes filenames based on files that exist within the file system.

g_filename_completer_new ()

g_filename_completer_get_completion_suffix ()

char *              g_filename_completer_get_completion_suffix
                                                        (GFilenameCompleter *completer,

Obtains a completion for initial_text from completer.

`completer` :	the filename completer.
`initial_text` :	text to be completed.
Returns :	a completed string, or `NULL` if no completion exists. This string is not owned by GIO, so remember to `g_free()` it when finished.

g_filename_completer_get_completions ()

char **             g_filename_completer_get_completions
                                                        (GFilenameCompleter *completer,

`initial_text` :	text to be completed.
Returns :	array zero-terminated=1) (transfer full. array zero-terminated=1. transfer full.

g_filename_completer_set_dirs_only ()

void                g_filename_completer_set_dirs_only  (GFilenameCompleter *completer,
                                                         gboolean dirs_only);
