} GnomeVFSOpenMode;
Mode in which files are opened. If GNOME_VFS_OPEN_RANDOM is not used, the file will be have to be accessed sequentially.
GnomeVFSResult gnome_vfs_create (GnomeVFSHandle **handle, const gchar *text_uri, GnomeVFSOpenMode open_mode, gboolean exclusive, guint perm);
Create text_uri according to mode open_mode.  On return, handle will then
contain a pointer to a handle for the open file.
| handle: | pointer to a pointer to a GnomeVFSHandle object. | 
| text_uri: | string representing the uri to create. | 
| open_mode: | mode to leave the file opened in after creation (or GNOME_VFS_OPEN_MODE_NONEto leave the file closed after creation). | 
| exclusive: | whether the file should be created in "exclusive" mode. i.e. if this flag is nonzero, operation will fail if a file with the same name already exists. | 
| perm: | bitmap representing the permissions for the newly created file (Unix style). | 
| Returns : | an integer representing the result of the operation. | 
GnomeVFSResult gnome_vfs_create_uri (GnomeVFSHandle **handle, GnomeVFSURI *uri, GnomeVFSOpenMode open_mode, gboolean exclusive, guint perm);
Create uri according to mode open_mode.  On return, handle will then
contain a pointer to a handle for the open file.
| handle: | pointer to a pointer to a GnomeVFSHandle object. | 
| uri: | uri for the file to create. | 
| open_mode: | open mode. | 
| exclusive: | whether the file should be created in "exclusive" mode. i.e. if this flag is nonzero, operation will fail if a file with the same name already exists. | 
| perm: | bitmap representing the permissions for the newly created file (Unix style). | 
| Returns : | an integer representing the result of the operation. | 
GnomeVFSResult gnome_vfs_open (GnomeVFSHandle **handle, const gchar *text_uri, GnomeVFSOpenMode open_mode);
Open text_uri according to mode open_mode.  On return, handle will then
contain a pointer to a handle for the open file.
| handle: | pointer to a pointer to a GnomeVFSHandle object. | 
| text_uri: | string representing the uri to open. | 
| open_mode: | open mode. | 
| Returns : | an integer representing the result of the operation. | 
GnomeVFSResult gnome_vfs_open_uri (GnomeVFSHandle **handle, GnomeVFSURI *uri, GnomeVFSOpenMode open_mode);
Open uri according to mode open_mode.  On return, handle will then
contain a pointer to a handle for the open file.
| handle: | pointer to a pointer to a GnomeVFSHandle object. | 
| uri: | uri to open. | 
| open_mode: | open mode. | 
| Returns : | an integer representing the result of the operation. | 
GnomeVFSResult gnome_vfs_close (GnomeVFSHandle *handle);
Close file associated with handle.
| handle: | pointer to a GnomeVFSHandle object. | 
| Returns : | an integer representing the result of the operation. | 
GnomeVFSResult gnome_vfs_unlink (const gchar *text_uri);
Unlink text_uri (i.e. delete the file).
| text_uri: | uri of the file to be unlinked. | 
| Returns : | an integer representing the result of the operation. | 
GnomeVFSResult gnome_vfs_unlink_from_uri (GnomeVFSURI *uri);
Unlink uri (i.e. delete the file).
| uri: | uri of the file to be unlinked. | 
| Returns : | an integer representing the result of the operation. | 
GnomeVFSResult gnome_vfs_move_uri (GnomeVFSURI *old_uri, GnomeVFSURI *new_uri, gboolean force_replace);
Move a file from uri old_uri to new_uri.  This will only work if old_uri 
and new_uri are on the same file system.  Otherwise, it is necessary 
to use the more general gnome_vfs_xfer_uri() function.
| old_uri: | source uri. | 
| new_uri: | destination uri. | 
| force_replace: | if TRUE, moveold_uritonew_urieven if there 
is already a file atnew_uri. If there is a file, it will be discarded. | 
| Returns : | an integer representing the result of the operation. | 
GnomeVFSResult gnome_vfs_move (const gchar *old_text_uri, const gchar *new_text_uri, gboolean force_replace);
Move a file from old_text_uri to new_text_uri.  This will only work 
if old_text_uri and new_text_uri are on the same file system.  Otherwise,
it is necessary to use the more general gnome_vfs_xfer_uri() function.
| old_text_uri: | string representing the source file location. | 
| new_text_uri: | string representing the destination file location. | 
| force_replace: | if TRUE, perform the operation even if it unlinks an existing
file atnew_text_uri. | 
| Returns : | an integer representing the result of the operation. | 
GnomeVFSResult gnome_vfs_check_same_fs_uris (GnomeVFSURI *source_uri, GnomeVFSURI *target_uri, gboolean *same_fs_return);
Check if source_uri and target_uri are on the same file system.
| source_uri: | a uri. | 
| target_uri: | another uri. | 
| same_fs_return: | pointer to a boolean variable which will be set to TRUEon return ifsource_uriandtarget_uriare on the same file system. | 
| Returns : | an integer representing the result of the operation. | 
GnomeVFSResult gnome_vfs_check_same_fs (const gchar *source, const gchar *target, gboolean *same_fs_return);
Check if source and target are on the same file system.
| source: | path to a file. | 
| target: | path to another file. | 
| same_fs_return: | pointer to a boolean variable which will be set to TRUEon return ifsourceandtargetare on the same file system. | 
| Returns : | an integer representing the result of the operation. | 
gboolean gnome_vfs_uri_exists (GnomeVFSURI *uri);
Check if the uri points to an existing entity.
| uri: | a uri. | 
| Returns : | TRUEif uri exists. | 
GnomeVFSResult gnome_vfs_create_symbolic_link (GnomeVFSURI *uri, const gchar *target_reference);
Creates a symbolic link, or eventually, a uri link (as necessary) 
at uri pointing to target_reference.
| uri: | uri to create a link at. | 
| target_reference: | uri "reference" to point the link to (uri or relative path). | 
| Returns : | an integer representing the result of the operation. |
