FileCreateFlags
===================================================================

.. currentmodule:: gi.repository.Gio





.. class:: FileCreateFlags
   :no-contents-entry:






Flags used when an operation may create a file.













Fields
------

.. rst-class:: interim-class

.. class:: FileCreateFlags
   :no-index:
   

   .. attribute:: NONE

      No flags set.







   .. attribute:: PRIVATE

      Create a file that can only be
      accessed by the current user.







   .. attribute:: REPLACE_DESTINATION

      Replace the destination
      as if it didn't exist before. Don't try to keep any old
      permissions, replace instead of following links. This
      is generally useful if you're doing a "copy over"
      rather than a "save new version of" replace operation.
      You can think of it as "unlink destination" before
      writing to it, although the implementation may not
      be exactly like that. This flag can only be used with
      :func:`~gi.repository.Gio.File.replace` and its variants, including :func:`~gi.repository.Gio.File.replace_contents`.
