Class Details¶

class GioUnix.MountMonitor(**kwargs)¶

Bases:: GObject.Object
Abstract:: No
Structure:: GioUnix.MountMonitorClass

Watches #GUnixMounts for changes.

classmethod get()¶

Returns:: the GioUnix.MountMonitor.
Return type:: Gio.UnixMountMonitor

Gets the GioUnix.MountMonitor 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()¶

Returns:: a GioUnix.MountMonitor.
Return type:: Gio.UnixMountMonitor

Deprecated alias for GioUnix.MountMonitor.get().

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

Deprecated since version 2.44: Use GioUnix.MountMonitor.get() instead.

classmethod set_rate_limit(mount_monitor, limit_msec)¶

Parameters:

mount_monitor (Gio.UnixMountMonitor) – a GioUnix.MountMonitor
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 mount_monitor 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.
