<p><a class="link" href="GFileEnumerator.html" title="GFileEnumerator"><span class="type">GFileEnumerator</span></a> allows you to operate on a set of <a href="GFile.html#GFile-struct"><span class="type">GFiles</span></a>,
returning a <a class="link" href="GFileInfo.html" title="GFileInfo"><span class="type">GFileInfo</span></a> structure for each file enumerated (e.g.
<a class="link" href="GFile.html#g-file-enumerate-children" title="g_file_enumerate_children ()"><code class="function">g_file_enumerate_children()</code></a> will return a <a class="link" href="GFileEnumerator.html" title="GFileEnumerator"><span class="type">GFileEnumerator</span></a> for each
of the children within a directory).</p>
<p>To get the next file's information from a <a class="link" href="GFileEnumerator.html" title="GFileEnumerator"><span class="type">GFileEnumerator</span></a>, use
<a class="link" href="GFileEnumerator.html#g-file-enumerator-next-file" title="g_file_enumerator_next_file ()"><code class="function">g_file_enumerator_next_file()</code></a> or its asynchronous version,
<a class="link" href="GFileEnumerator.html#g-file-enumerator-next-files-async" title="g_file_enumerator_next_files_async ()"><code class="function">g_file_enumerator_next_files_async()</code></a>. Note that the asynchronous
version will return a list of <a href="GFileInfo.html#GFileInfo-struct"><span class="type">GFileInfos</span></a>, whereas the
synchronous will only return the next file in the enumerator.</p>
<p>The ordering of returned files is unspecified for non-Unix
platforms; for more information, see <a href="../glib-File-Utilities.html#g-dir-read-name"><code class="function">g_dir_read_name()</code></a>. On Unix,
when operating on local files, returned files will be sorted by
inode number. Effectively you can assume that the ordering of
returned files will be stable between successive calls (and
applications) assuming the directory is unchanged.</p>
<p>If your application needs a specific ordering, such as by name or
modification time, you will have to implement that in your
application code.</p>
<p>To close a <a class="link" href="GFileEnumerator.html" title="GFileEnumerator"><span class="type">GFileEnumerator</span></a>, use <a class="link" href="GFileEnumerator.html#g-file-enumerator-close" title="g_file_enumerator_close ()"><code class="function">g_file_enumerator_close()</code></a>, or
its asynchronous version, <a class="link" href="GFileEnumerator.html#g-file-enumerator-close-async" title="g_file_enumerator_close_async ()"><code class="function">g_file_enumerator_close_async()</code></a>. Once
a <a class="link" href="GFileEnumerator.html" title="GFileEnumerator"><span class="type">GFileEnumerator</span></a> is closed, no further actions may be performed
on it, and it should be freed with <a href="../gobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#g-object-unref"><code class="function">g_object_unref()</code></a>.</p>

g_file_enumerator_iterate (<em class="parameter"><code><a class="link" href="GFileEnumerator.html" title="GFileEnumerator"><span class="type">GFileEnumerator</span></a> *direnum</code></em>,

<em class="parameter"><code><a href="../glib-Error-Reporting.html#GError"><span class="type">GError</span></a> **error</code></em>);</pre>
<p>This is a version of <a class="link" href="GFileEnumerator.html#g-file-enumerator-next-file" title="g_file_enumerator_next_file ()"><code class="function">g_file_enumerator_next_file()</code></a> that's easier to
use correctly from C programs. With <a class="link" href="GFileEnumerator.html#g-file-enumerator-next-file" title="g_file_enumerator_next_file ()"><code class="function">g_file_enumerator_next_file()</code></a>,
the gboolean return value signifies "end of iteration or error", which
requires allocation of a temporary <a href="../glib-Error-Reporting.html#GError"><span class="type">GError</span></a>.</p>
<p>In contrast, with this function, a <a href="../glib-Standard-Macros.html#FALSE:CAPS"><code class="literal">FALSE</code></a> return from
<a class="link" href="GFileEnumerator.html#g-file-enumerator-iterate" title="g_file_enumerator_iterate ()"><code class="function">g_file_enumerator_iterate()</code></a> *always* means
"error". End of iteration is signaled by <em class="parameter"><code>out_info</code></em>
or <em class="parameter"><code>out_child</code></em>
being <a href="../glib-Standard-Macros.html#NULL:CAPS"><code class="literal">NULL</code></a>.</p>
<p>Another crucial difference is that the references for <em class="parameter"><code>out_info</code></em>
and
<em class="parameter"><code>out_child</code></em>
are owned by <em class="parameter"><code>direnum</code></em>
(they are cached as hidden
properties). You must not unref them in your own code. This makes
memory management significantly easier for C code in combination
with loops.</p>
<p>Finally, this function optionally allows retrieving a <a class="link" href="GFile.html" title="GFile"><span class="type">GFile</span></a> as
well.</p>
<p>You must specify at least one of <em class="parameter"><code>out_info</code></em>
or <em class="parameter"><code>out_child</code></em>
.</p>
<p>The code pattern for correctly using <a class="link" href="GFileEnumerator.html#g-file-enumerator-iterate" title="g_file_enumerator_iterate ()"><code class="function">g_file_enumerator_iterate()</code></a> from C
is:</p>
