Creation methods:

• public FileFilter ()
  Creates a new FileFilter with no rules added to it. Such a filter doesn't accept any files, so is not particularly useful until you add rules with add_mime_type, add_pattern, or add_custom. To create a filter that accepts any file, use:

Methods:

• public void add_custom (FileFilterFlags needed, owned FileFilterFunc func)
  Adds rule to a filter that allows files based on a custom callback function. The bitfield needed which is passed in provides information about what sorts of information that the filter function needs; this allows GTK+ to avoid retrieving expensive information when it isn't needed by the filter.
• public void add_mime_type (string mime_type)
  Adds a rule allowing a given mime type to filter.
• public void add_pattern (string pattern)
  Adds a rule allowing a shell style glob to a filter.
• public void add_pixbuf_formats ()
  Adds a rule allowing image files in the formats supported by GdkPixbuf.
• public bool filter (FileFilterInfo filter_info)
  Tests whether a file should be displayed according to filter. The FileFilterInfo structure filter_info should include the fields returned from get_needed.
• public unowned string get_name ()
  Gets the human-readable name for the filter. See set_name.
• public FileFilterFlags get_needed ()
  Gets the fields that need to be filled in for the structure passed to filter
• public void set_name (string name)
  Sets the human-readable name of the filter; this is the string that will be displayed in the file selector user interface if there is a selectable list of filters.
