Class Details

class Gio.UnixMountMonitor(**kwargs)
Bases:

GObject.Object

Abstract:

No

Structure:

Gio.UnixMountMonitorClass

Watches #GUnixMounts for changes.

classmethod get()[source]
Returns:

the Gio.UnixMountMonitor.

Return type:

Gio.UnixMountMonitor

Gets the Gio.UnixMountMonitor for the current thread-default main context.

The mount monitor can be used to monitor for changes to the list of mounted filesystems as well as the list of mount points (ie: fstab entries).

You must only call GObject.Object.unref() on the return value from under the same main context as you called this function.

New in version 2.44.

classmethod new()[source]
Returns:

a Gio.UnixMountMonitor.

Return type:

Gio.UnixMountMonitor

Deprecated alias for Gio.UnixMountMonitor.get().

This function was never a true constructor, which is why it was renamed.

Deprecated since version 2.44: Use Gio.UnixMountMonitor.get() instead.

set_rate_limit(limit_msec)[source]
Parameters:

limit_msec (int) – a integer with the limit in milliseconds to poll for changes.

This function does nothing.

Before 2.44, this was a partially-effective way of controlling the rate at which events would be reported under some uncommon circumstances. Since self is a singleton, it also meant that calling this function would have side effects for other users of the monitor.

New in version 2.18.

Deprecated since version 2.44: This function does nothing. Don’t call it.
