  `true` if both Gtk::RecentInfo structures point to se same resource, `false` otherwise.

bool Gtk::RecentInfo::exists | ( |  | ) | const

Checks whether the resource pointed by info still exists.

At the moment this check is done only on resources pointing to local files.

Since gtkmm 2.10:

Returns:
  `true` if the resource exists.

time_t Gtk::RecentInfo::get_added | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the timestamp (seconds from system's Epoch) when the resource was added to the recently used resources list.

Since gtkmm 2.10:

Returns:
  The number of seconds elapsed from system's Epoch when the resource was added to the list, or -1 on failure.

int Gtk::RecentInfo::get_age | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the number of days elapsed since the last update of the resource pointed by info.

Since gtkmm 2.10:

Returns:
  A positive integer containing the number of days elapsed since the time this resource was last modified.

bool Gtk::RecentInfo::get_application_info | ( | const Glib::ustring & | app_name,
|  | std::string & | app_exec,
|  | guint & | count,
|  | time_t & | time_ |
| ) |  |  | const

Gets the data regarding the application that has registered the resource pointed by info.

If the command line contains any escape characters defined inside the storage specification, they will be expanded.

Since gtkmm 2.10:

Parameters:

  | time | Return location for the timestamp this item was last registered for this application.

Returns:
  `true` if an application with app_name has registered this resource inside the recently used list, or `false` otherwise. The app_exec string is owned by the Gtk::RecentInfo and should not be modified or freed.

Glib::StringArrayHandle Gtk::RecentInfo::get_applications | ( |  | ) | const

Retrieves the list of applications that have registered this resource.

Since gtkmm 2.10:

Parameters:

  | length | Return location for the length of the returned list.

Returns:

Glib::StringArrayHandle Gtk::RecentInfo::get_groups | ( |  | ) | const

Returns all groups registered for the recently used item info.

The array of returned group names will be `0` terminated, so length might optionally be `0`.

Parameters:

  | length | Return location for the number of groups returned.

Returns:
  A newly allocated `0` terminated array of strings. Use Glib::strfreev() to free it.
