gtkShowUri

Description

This is a convenience function for launching the default application to show the uri. The uri must be of a form understood by GIO. Typical examples are

‘file:///home/gnome/pict.jpg’
‘http://www.gnome.org’
‘mailto:me’

Ideally the timestamp is taken from the event triggering the gtkShowUri call. If timestamp is not known you can take GDK_CURRENT_TIME.

Usage

gtkShowUri(screen = NULL, uri, timestamp, .errwarn = TRUE)

Arguments

`screen`	screen to show the uri on or `NULL` for the default screen. [ allow-none ]
`uri`	the uri to show
`timestamp`	a timestamp to prevent focus stealing.
`.errwarn`	Whether to issue a warning on error or fail silently

Details

This function can be used as a replacement for gnomeVfsUrlShow() and gnomeUrlShow(). Since 2.14

Value

A list containing the following elements:

`retval`	[logical] `TRUE` on success, `FALSE` on error.
`error`	a `GError` that is returned in case of errors
