UnixMountMonitor
===================================================================

.. currentmodule:: gi.repository.Gio





.. class:: UnixMountMonitor(**properties: ~typing.Any)
   :no-contents-entry:


Superclasses: :class:`~gi.repository.GObject.Object`





Watches ``GUnixMounts`` for changes.


Constructors
------------

.. rst-class:: interim-class

.. class:: UnixMountMonitor
   :no-index:


   .. classmethod:: new() -> ~gi.repository.Gio.UnixMountMonitor

      Deprecated alias for :func:`~gi.repository.Gio.UnixMountMonitor.get`.

      This function was never a true constructor, which is why it was
      renamed.





      .. deprecated:: 2.44

         Use :func:`~gi.repository.Gio.UnixMountMonitor.get` instead.










Methods
-------

.. rst-class:: interim-class

.. class:: UnixMountMonitor
   :no-index:


   .. classmethod:: get() -> ~gi.repository.Gio.UnixMountMonitor

      Gets the :obj:`~gi.repository.Gio.UnixMountMonitor` for the current thread-default main
      context.

      The mount monitor can be used to monitor for changes to the list of
      mounted filesystems as well as the list of mount points (ie: fstab
      entries).

      You must only call :func:`~gi.repository.GObject.GObject.Object.unref` on the return value from under
      the same main context as you called this function.


      .. versionadded:: 2.44








   .. method:: set_rate_limit(limit_msec: int) -> None

      This function does nothing.

      Before 2.44, this was a partially-effective way of controlling the
      rate at which events would be reported under some uncommon
      circumstances.  Since ``mount_monitor`` is a singleton, it also meant
      that calling this function would have side effects for other users of
      the monitor.


      .. versionadded:: 2.18




      .. deprecated:: 2.44

         This function does nothing.  Don't call it.



      :param limit_msec: a integer with the limit in milliseconds to
             poll for changes.










Signals
-------

.. rst-class:: interim-class

.. class:: UnixMountMonitor.signals
   :no-index:
   

   .. method:: mountpoints_changed() -> None

      The type of the None singleton.










   .. method:: mounts_changed() -> None

      The type of the None singleton.
