Ide.g_file_get_uncanonical_relative_path
Description: Reference for Ide.g_file_get_uncanonical_relative_path

### Function

# Ideg_file_get_uncanonical_relative_path

#### Declaration

    gchar*
    ide_g_file_get_uncanonical_relative_path (
      GFile* file,
      GFile* other
    )

#### Description

This function is similar to `g_file_get_relative_path()` except that `file` and `other` only need to have a shared common ancestor.

This is useful if you must use a relative path instead of the absolute, canonical path.

This is being implemented for use when communicating to GDB. When that becomes unnecessary, this should no longer be used.

Available since: | 3.32

#### Parameters

`file` | `GFile`
| A `GFile`.
| The data is owned by the caller of the function.
`other` | `GFile`
| A `GFile` with a common ancestor to `file`.
| The data is owned by the caller of the function.

#### Return value

Returns: | `gchar*`
| A relative path, or `NULL` if no common ancestor was found for the relative path.
| The caller of the function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
| The return value can be `NULL`.
| The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
