Gio.File::get_parse_name

function vfunc_get_parse_name(): String {
}
  

Gets the parse name of the file. A parse name is a UTF-8 string that describes the file such that one can get the Gio.File back using Gio.file_parse_name.

This is generally used to show the Gio.File as a nice full-pathname kind of string in a user interface, like in a location entry.

For local files with names that can safely be converted to UTF-8 the pathname is used, otherwise the IRI is used (a form of URI that allows UTF-8 characters unescaped).

This call does no blocking I/O.
