Functions

tracker_storage_get_device_roots ()

GSList *
tracker_storage_get_device_roots (TrackerStorage *storage,
                                  TrackerStorageType type,

Parameters

storage

A TrackerStorage

 

type

A TrackerStorageType

 

exact_match

if all devices should exactly match the types

 

Returns

a GSList of strings containing the root directories for devices with type based on exact_match . Each element must be freed using g_free() and the list itself through g_slist_free().
