dealing with filenames (<a href="http://www.gtk.org/api/2.6/glib/glib-File-Utilities.html#g-open"><tt class="function">g_open()</tt></a>, <a href="http://www.gtk.org/api/2.6/glib/glib-File-Utilities.html#g-rename"><tt class="function">g_rename()</tt></a>, <a href="http://www.gtk.org/api/2.6/glib/glib-File-Utilities.html#g-mkdir"><tt class="function">g_mkdir()</tt></a>, <a href="http://www.gtk.org/api/2.6/glib/glib-File-Utilities.html#g-stat"><tt class="function">g_stat()</tt></a>,
<a href="http://www.gtk.org/api/2.6/glib/glib-File-Utilities.html#g-unlink"><tt class="function">g_unlink()</tt></a>, <a href="http://www.gtk.org/api/2.6/glib/glib-File-Utilities.html#g-remove"><tt class="function">g_remove()</tt></a>, <a href="http://www.gtk.org/api/2.6/glib/glib-File-Utilities.html#g-fopen"><tt class="function">g_fopen()</tt></a>, <a href="http://www.gtk.org/api/2.6/glib/glib-File-Utilities.html#g-freopen"><tt class="function">g_freopen()</tt></a>). The point of these
wrappers is to make it possible to handle file names with any Unicode
characters in them on Windows without having to use ifdefs and the
wide character API in the application code.
</p><p>
The pathname argument should be in the GLib file name encoding. On
POSIX this is the actual on-disk encoding which might correspond to
the locale settings of the process (or the
<tt class="envar">G_FILENAME_ENCODING</tt> environment variable), or not.
</p><div>On Windows the GLib file name encoding is UTF-8. Note that the
Microsoft C library does not use UTF-8, but has separate APIs for
current system code page and wide characters (UTF-16). The GLib
wrappers call the wide character API if present (on modern Windows
systems), otherwise convert to/from the system code page.</div><div>===</div><div>Template for g_open is:</div><div><br></div><div><pre class="synopsis">int <a href="http://www.gtk.org/api/2.6/glib/glib-File-Utilities.html#g-open">g_open</a> (const <a href="http://www.gtk.org/api/2.6/glib/glib-Basic-Types.html#gchar">gchar</a> *filename,
