filename_to_uri

Similar to to_uri, but attempts to handle relative file paths as well.

Before converting filename into an URI, it will be prefixed by the current working directory if it is a relative path, and then the path will be canonicalised so that it doesn't contain any './' or '../' segments.

On Windows filename should be in UTF-8 encoding.

Parameters:

filename

absolute or relative file name path

Returns:

newly-allocated URI string, or NULL on error. The caller must free the URI string with g_free when no longer needed.
