Function

Gst-1.0Gstfilename_to_uri

  • Similar to g_filename_to_uri(), but attempts to handle relative file paths as well. Before converting filename into an URI, it will be prefixed by the current working directory if it is a relative path, and then the path will be canonicalised so that it doesn't contain any './' or '../' segments.

    On Windows filename should be in UTF-8 encoding.

    Parameters

    • filename: string

      absolute or relative file name path

    Returns string

    newly-allocated URI string, or NULL on error. The caller must free the URI string with g_free() when no longer needed.
