Gio.File.set_attribute_uint64

### Method

# Gio Fileset_attribute_uint64

#### Declaration

    gboolean
    g_file_set_attribute_uint64 (
      GFile* file,
      const char* attribute,
      guint64 value,
      GFileQueryInfoFlags flags,
      GCancellable* cancellable,
      GError** error
    )

#### Description

Sets `attribute` of type `G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_UINT64` to `value`. If `attribute` is of a different type, this operation will fail.

If `cancellable` is not `NULL`, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error `G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED` will be returned.

#### Parameters

`attribute`

  Type: `const char*`

  A string containing the attribute’s name.

  The data is owned by the caller of the method.
  The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.

`value`

  Type: `guint64`

  A #guint64 containing the attribute’s new value.

`flags`

  Type: `GFileQueryInfoFlags`

  A `GFileQueryInfoFlags`.

`cancellable`

  Type: `GCancellable`

  Optional `GCancellable` object, `NULL` to ignore.

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  The data is owned by the caller of the method.

`error`

  Type: `GError **`

  The return location for a recoverable error.

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  If the return location is not `NULL`, then you must initialize it to a `NULL` `GError*`.
  The argument will be left initialized to `NULL` by the method if there are no errors.
  In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated `GError`; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

#### Return value

Type: `gboolean`

`TRUE` if the `attribute` was successfully set to `value` in the `file`, `FALSE` otherwise.
