33 * gnome_vfs_find_directory:
34 * @near_uri: find a well known directory on the same volume as @near_uri
35 * @kind: kind of well known directory
36 * @result: newly created URI of the directory we found
37 * @create_if_needed: If directory we are looking for does not exist, try to create it
38 * @create_if_needed: If we don't know where trash is yet, look for it.
39 * @permissions: If creating, use these permissions
40 *
41 * Used to return well known directories such as Trash, Desktop, etc. from different
42 * file systems.
43 *
44 * There is quite a complicated logic behind finding/creating a Trash directory
45 * and you need to be aware of some implications:
46 * Finding the Trash the first time when using the file method may be pretty
47 * expensive. A cache file is used to store the location of that Trash file
48 * for next time.
49 * If @ceate_if_needed is specified without @find_if_needed, you may end up
50 * creating a Trash file when there already is one. Your app should start out
51 * by doing a gnome_vfs_find_directory with the @find_if_needed to avoid this
52 * and then use the @create_if_needed flag to create Trash lazily when it is
53 * needed for throwing away an item on a given disk.
54 *
55 * Return value: An integer representing the result of the operation
