gnome_icon_lookup ()

char*       gnome_icon_lookup               (GnomeIconTheme *icon_theme,
                                             GnomeThumbnailFactory *thumbnail_factory,
                                             const char *file_uri,
                                             const char *custom_icon,
                                             GnomeVFSFileInfo *file_info,
                                             const char *mime_type,
                                             GnomeIconLookupFlags flags,
                                             GnomeIconLookupResultFlags *result);

This function tries to locate an icon in icon_theme that can be used to represent the file passed. It can optionally also look for existing thumbnails. It does no I/O, so the lookup should be relatively fast.

If you don't know any information about the file already you can use gnome_icon_lookup_sync() which gets this information using gnome-vfs.

The following flags are valid:

GNOME_ICON_LOOKUP_FLAGS_EMBEDDING_TEXT - Return the text icon for scripts. This is useful if you do text embedding in the icons.

GNOME_ICON_LOOKUP_FLAGS_SHOW_SMALL_IMAGES_AS_THEMSELVES - Return the filename of the filename itself for small images. Only availible if you pass a thumbnail_factory.

Possible result flags:

GNOME_ICON_LOOKUP_RESULT_FLAGS_THUMBNAIL - The returned file is a thumbnail.

icon_theme :

a GnomeIconTheme

thumbnail_factory :

an optional GnomeThumbnailFactory used to look up thumbnails

file_uri :

the uri of the file

custom_icon :

optionally the name of a custom icon to try

file_info :

information about the file from gnome_vfs_get_file_info()

mime_type :

the mime type of the icon

flags :

flags that affect the result of the lookup

result :

optionally result flags of the lookups are stored here

Returns :

The name of an icon or an absolute filename of an image to use for the file.
