Determines if a string matches a file attribute.

Create a new FileAttributeMatcher

Prints what the matcher is matching against. The format will be equal to the format passed to g_file_attribute_matcher_new(). The output however, might not be identical, as the matcher may decide to use a different order or omit needless parts.

Subtracts all attributes of @subtract from @matcher and returns a matcher that supports those attributes.

Note that currently it is not possible to remove a single attribute when the @matcher matches the whole namespace - or remove a namespace or attribute when the matcher matches everything. This is a limitation of the current implementation, but may be fixed in the future.

References a file attribute matcher.

Checks if an attribute matcher only matches a given attribute. Always returns %FALSE if "*" was used when creating the matcher.

Checks if an attribute will be matched by an attribute matcher. If the matcher was created with the "*" matching string, this function will always return %TRUE.

Gets the next matched attribute from a #GFileAttributeMatcher.

Checks if the matcher will match all of the keys in a given namespace. This will always return %TRUE if a wildcard character is in use (e.g. if matcher was created with "standard::*" and @ns is "standard", or if matcher was created using "*" and namespace is anything.)

TODO: this is awkwardly worded.
